I have read that slowly the Byzantine Varangian Guard, were slowly replaced by English mercenaries, so some connection. Though I was reading an English historian, they think a lot is just invented, such as at Sutton Hoo, the artifacts are of Saxon style, though of British craftsmanship.

I'm unsure how best to start including spirits of the dead in my 1870s Mashup game. I've introduced the concept of the Spiritualist Church, and they met Rebecca Cox Jackson, who channeled the spirit of a hireling who had been murdered by some bad guys. Their patron, the Emperor Norton I, is extremely skeptical of spiritualism (and will remain so unless one of the PCs makes a very persuasive argument) as are most of the PCs, but the samurai PC feels there's some truth to it. Currently, I'm leaning towards a ghost ship, the CSS J. M. Chapman, being piloted by a fairly-recently dead Thomas Bell Poole but I'd love to hear other ideas.

After the Norman conquest, a lot of Anglo-Saxons that fled England ended up serving as members of the Varangian Guard. However, that was 600 years after the Roman Empire left Britain. (Some of the Anglo-Saxon Varangians even ended up fighting against the Normans as they conquered the Byzantine provinces in southern Italy and Sicily.)

Your campaign needs some John Murray Spear, or an acolyte of his.
“John Murray Spear (September 16, 1804 – October 5, 1887) was an American Spiritualist minister who was most known for his attempts to construct an electrically powered Messiah which he referred to as the "New Motive Power".

Some Anglo-Saxon refugees fled to modern day Ukraine.
