The largest is uncertain, however here are some large viking armies:

- the Norwegian army during the battle of stamford bridge - est. 300 ships, 15 000 men

- The great heathen army - No reference to the actual size of it has been found other than about 350 longships

- (Not really a viking army) but The norman army under the battle of heistings - est. 7 000 - 10 000 men

Vikings are not really known to have had very large armies. The vikings usually operated with smaller armies doing hit and run raids near coastal regions. The larger armies in the viking time was mostly coalitions of several smaller local armies to achive common goals.
