EspañolBAGSECG
'Bagsecg' (d. January 8 871) was a Viking leader, referred to as a 'king'. He is also known as 'Bægsecg' or 'Bagsec'.
By some accounts in 870 he came from Scandinavia to England, 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 Wessex army led by the king's younger brother, the future Alfred the Great.
There is a story that he was buried in Wayland's Smithy, but this is inaccurate, as it comes from the Neolithic period.
