About Ivar the Boneless in brief
Ivar the Boneless was a Viking leader who invaded England. He was the youngest son of Ragnar Loðbrok and his wife Aslaug. His brothers included Björn Ironside, Halfdan Ragnarsson, Hvitserk, Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye and Ubba. According to the Tale of Ragnar Lodbrok, Ivar’s bonelessness was the result of a curse. He is often considered identical to Ímar, the founder of the Uí Ímair dynasty, which ruled Northumbria from the city of York.
In 1686, a farm labourer named Thomas Walker discovered a Scandinavian burial mound at Repton in Derbyshire close to a battle site where the Great Heathen Army overthrew the Mercian King Burgred.
