High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The "Great Heathen Army", also known as the Great Army or the Great Danish Army, was a Viking army originating in Denmark which pillaged and conquered much of England in the late 9th century. Unlike many of the Scandinavian raiding armies of the period, surviving sources give no firm indication of its numbers, but it was clearly among the largest forces of its kind, comprising a number of ships reaching into the hundreds and many thousands of men. The term "Great Heathen Army" is used in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Much of the evidence for the army comes from these annals, and as they start the year on September 1, many of the events are said to have occurred what appears to be a year later. This article uses the Gregorian calendar throughout. The origins of the Army can be seen in the band of Viking warriors who attacked Paris in 845, and remained permanently in the region from 850, repeatedly sacking Rouen and various smaller towns.
