Maester Steven, do you have an idea how large the Great Heathen Army that attacked England was?

The sources aren’t great on numbers (in part because the GHA divided at various times) and historians disagree about various estimates. The lowest I’ve seen was 1,000 men, the most common estimate is around 2-3,000, I’ve seen some say 6-8,000, and the largest estimate I’ve seen was around 10,000.
