Bagsecg
Bagsecg (died 8 January 871) was a Viking leader referred to as a 'king. He is also known as Bægsecg or Bagsec.
In 870 or 871 he went from Scandinavia to England, and led The Great Summer Army there and added his forces to the Great Heathen Army which had already overrun much of England.
He and Halfdan Ragnarsson became the joint leaders of a Viking invasion of the Kingdom of Wessex. However, he was killed at the Battle of Ashdown, fighting a West Saxon Army led by King Ethelred and his younger brother, the future Alfred the Great.
== Life ==
Little is known about Bagsecg, He arrived in England in either 870 or 871 and was the leader of a massive Viking army known as The Great Summer Army which arrived in the summer, so the likely date when he arrived could be 870. As early as 871, he and Halfdan Ragnarsson dispatched a few Viking parties to attack the Kingdom of Wessex, which remained vulnerable to Viking raids; they captured Reading, Berkshire, and set up camp within the town. On 4 January 871, Alfred the Great (he was not yet king) attempted to attack the camp; however Bagsecg won a great victory at the Battle of Reading inflicting terrible losses on Alfred's army.
