The Film
In Derbyshire, a team of archaeologists is hunting for the remains of one of the largest armies ever to invade Britain. In the 9thCentury, thousands of Vikings stormed these shores – but, incredibly, they left little evidence of their bloody occupation. In search of the lost army, Cat Jarman and Mark Horton reopen a mass grave, forensically piecing together extraordinary tales of women warriors and a Viking king, reunited with his son in death. And they unearthnew evidence of a massive military encampment, in what looks set to become one of the most significant Viking sites ever discovered in Britain!
