The Tale of Ragnar's Sons mentions that the invasion of England by the Great Heathen Army in 865 AD was aimed at avenging the death of Ragnar Lodbrok, a legendary Viking ruler of Sweden and Denmark.  In the Viking saga, Ragnar is said to have conducted a raid on Northumbria during the reign of King Ælla. The Vikings were defeated and Ragnar was captured by the Northumbrians. Ælla then had Ragnar executed by throwing him into a pit of venomous snakes. When the sons of Ragnar received news of their father's death, they decided to avenge him.
