	The '''Assault on Tamworth Fortress''' was an assault undertaken by the [[Sons of Ragnar]] within the [[Great Heathen Army]] on the [[Mercia]]n stronghold of [[Tamworth Fortress]] in [[Ledecestrescire]], [[England]]. The Sons of Ragnar, led by [[Ivarr the Boneless\|Ivarr]] and [[Ubba Ragnarsson]], were aided in the assault by the [[Raven Clan]] ''[[jarl]]'' [[Sigurd Styrbjornsson]] and his step-sister [[Eivor Varinsdottir]], as well as [[Ceolbert]], the son of ''[[thegn]]'' [[Ceolwulf II of Mercia\|Ceolwulf]], who aided the [[Vikings]] against the King of Mercia, [[Burgred of Mercia\|Burgred]].<ref name="The Sons of Ragnar">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]'' – [[The Sons of Ragnar]]</ref>		The '''Assault on Tamworth Fortress''' was an assault undertaken by the [[Sons of Ragnar]] within the [[Great Heathen Army]] on the [[Mercia]]n stronghold of [[Tamworth Fortress]] in [[Ledecestrescire]], [[England]].

	Burgred had previously paid off the Ragnarssons to prevent a Viking siege of Tamworth, but the Vikings returned to seize the throne of Mercia, intending to install Ceolwulf as their puppet king. After negotiations between the Vikings and Burgred, who was accompanied by his ''thegn'' [[Leofrith]], failed, the Vikings decided to seize the throne by force and besieged the fortress. They were ultimately ~~successfully~~ in capturing the stronghold, but Burgred and Leofrith fled during the attack.<ref name="The Sons of Ragnar"/>		Burgred had previously paid off the Ragnarssons to prevent a Viking siege of Tamworth, but the Vikings returned to seize the throne of Mercia, intending to install Ceolwulf as their puppet king.
