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 killed by being thrown into a pit of snakes. 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 Ælla and ritually executed him by way of the blood eagle.[1]
Ælla was a member of the Order of the Ancients, and was in line to become the new Grand Maegester in England by the mid-860s. After Ælla died in 867, the title was instead bestowed upon Æthelred, the son of King Æthelwulf of Wessex.[2]
