The year 865 heralded disaster for Anglo-Saxon England. It was the year of full scale invasion by the Great Army of the Danes. The Anglo saxon Chronicle said that the Danes took winter quarters in East Anglia. "And the same year a great raiding army came to the land of the English and took winter quarters in East Anglia and were provided with horses there, and they made peace with them".
According to Aethelweard writing 100 years later, their leader was Igwar or Ivar, one of the sons of Ragnar Lothbrok. Ragnar had two sons involved in these raids. One was called Ubba, and the other was known as Ivar the Boneless. The chronicle implies that King Edmund paid them off in money and supplies to keep the peace in East Anglia.
