Horror, Sleaze and Trash.

In Derbyshire, England, a mass grave consisting of 300 soldiers from the Great Viking Army was discovered. While this isn’t unusual, the fact that a grave of slaughtered children found beside it certainly is. The second grave consisted of four people aged between eight and 18. They had been buried together in a single grave with a sheep jaw at their feet. At least two of the bodies showed evidence of traumatic injury which suggests they may have been sacrificed in a ritual to accompany the dead soldiers. There are historical accounts that human sacrifice may have formed part of the Viking funeral.
