Fox News
Steve Dickinson, a British archaeologist, believes he's identified the burial site of Viking leader Ivar the Boneless in northwest England's Cumbria. He spoke to Fox News Digital.
"It is thought, from later historical records, that the epithet ‘boneless’ refers to some kind of genetic disorder." Andrea Margolis is a lifestyle writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business. Readers can follow her on X at @andreamargs or send story tips to andrea.margolis@fox.com.
The mound, he believes, may hold the lost grave of Ivar the Boneless, the Viking leader who died around 873 A.D.
Dickinson calls the structure the King's Mound — a translation of its Latin name Cuningishou — and its exact location has been kept confidential as his studies continue.
