Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Ivar the Boneless has gone down in history as one of the most powerful Vikings ever. Not only was he one of the leaders of the Great Heathen Army, but he was also the oldest son of the famous Viking Ragnar Lodbrok. It’s, therefore, surprising we still know so little about this mighty Viking.
Many significant details about his life and death remain shrouded in mystery.
Can an impressive burial mound in Repton, UK, shed more light on how and where Ivar the Boneless died? One Icelandic Saga reveals that Ivar the Boneless died and was buried in England, but there is no information about the grave’s location. However, one notable burial in Repton reveals that a prominent Viking was put to rest there. So, it’s fair to ask if perhaps Ivar the Boneless is buried in Repton.
Before we go into details about Ivar the Boneless’ death, it’s essential to know some facts about this great Viking who changed history in the countries he visited.
