| 105 | 718 | Cambridge University Press | The Winter Camp of the Viking Great Army, AD 872–3, Torksey, Lincolnshire | Dawn M Hadley and Julian D Richards | 2016-11-02 | View Link | 2026-09-29 | The study records that the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle describes the Mercians making peace with the Great Army while it wintered at Torksey in 872–873. The army subsequently moved on to Repton for the following winter. The precise terms of the Torksey peace are not recorded, and the study states only that tribute may have formed part of such settlements. |
