Ælla (died 867) was King of Northumbria until his death in 867. He was responsible for capturing the Viking leader Ragnar Lodbrok and had him put to death. In retaliation, two of Ragnar's sons, Ivarr the Boneless and Ubba Ragnarsson, sought revenge and invaded England leading the Great Heathen Army. In time, the sons captured Aella and ritually executed him by way of the blood eagle.[1]
Ælla was a member of the Order of the Ancients, and was chosen to become their new Grand Maegester after King Aethelwulf of Wessex. However following his death, the title was instead bestowed upon Aethelred, the eldest son of Aethelwulf.
