A Viking army sailed up the Seine to Pîtres (18 July). It was joined on August 17 by Bjorn Ironside. They looted the Perche region before the Loire Vikings were attacked by a Viking chieftain called Sigtrygg (Sidroc). Sigtrygg had been operating around the Seine and in Ireland, and had in the past sailed with Gudrød. He was now allied with Erispoë, who had paid him to get rid of Hallstein, Gudrød and Åsgeir - result he defeated them at Saltus articus
The viking army, which had suffered heavy losses in the Loire area, where only 300 vikings survived made a winter camp at a French island in the river, named Jeufosse.

People of Munster begged for Cerball's help against the Vikings, and Cerball with local Irish from Osraige & Munster And Orm's Danish vikings inflicted a heavy defeat on the Norwegians.
