Repton Abbey was an Anglo-Saxon abbey, which later became overrun by the Sons of Ragnar, in Repton, Ledecestrescire.
History
Throughout the 8th and 9th century, Mercian kings were buried underneath Repton Abbey, such as Kings Wiglaf and Æthelbald, after the rules.[1]
In 873, the Viking Eivor Varinsdottir traveled and entered into the abbey, which was used as a torturous interrogation chamber by Ivarr the Boneless. Upon entering, Eivor witnessed Ivarr questioning a "spy" from King Burgred of Mercia before ultimately killing him. Ivarr welcomed the shieldmaiden as he offered to show her the current situation within Repton.[2] On her own time, Eivor also probed the abbey and found an underground passage to the tomb of the past kings. There, Eivor collected a fragment of the saga, Rigsogur, about the Viking Rig Reidarasson.[1]
Behind the scenes
Historically, the abbey itself was abandoned after the Great Heathen Army invaded and overrun the town.[3]
