Скачать или смотреть The Horrible Ways Ragnar's Torturers Died - Revenge of the Heathen Army

When King Aella executed Ragnar Lothbrok in a pit of snakes, he could not have foreseen the devastation to come. In 865 AD, the Great Heathen Army arrived on English shores—not for treasure, but for vengeance. This documentary examines the historical reality behind the legend, exploring how Ragnar's sons, including the strategically brilliant Ivar the Boneless, Bjorn Ironside, and Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye, orchestrated one of the most consequential invasions in English history. We trace their systematic campaign through Northumbria, East Anglia, and Mercia, analyzing the military tactics that brought kingdoms to their knees. The video investigates the fates of England's rulers—from the alleged Blood Eagle execution of King Aella to the arrow-riddled martyrdom of King Edmund and King Burgred's hasty escape. Beyond the personal vendetta, this invasion reshaped Britain's political landscape, establishing the Danelaw and leaving Wessex as the sole surviving English kingdom. This is the story of how vengeance for one man's death nearly conquered a nation and ultimately forged medieval England.
