Ivar "The Boneless" Ragnarsson
During this period, large parts of northern France, England, and Ireland, were occupied and ruled by the Vikings. Invasions were usually led by men of high rank whose leaders held equal power. Invasions penetrated Hamburg and Paris, and under the sons of Ragnar Lodbrok, eventually reached England. King Horik wanted any Danish Viking raids to be under his direction. In 845 Horik sent several hundred vessels up the Elbe to take Hamburg, and at the same time sent Ragnar Lodbrok with a smaller fleet up the Seine to capture Paris.
In 865 Viking attacks were launched in a more northerly direction and based on East Anglia. This was the starting point of an attack by a united army led by the three sons of Ragnar Lodbrok: Ivar the Boneless (a strategist), Ubbi, and Halfdan. This army captured York on November 1, 866.
Around 860 AD, under the leadership of Bjorn and Hastings, a fleet of sixty-two vessels set out for Brittany. This time, however, they were only able to sack Algeciras just inside the Straits of Gibralter. From here they crossed to Nekor in Morocco, and eight days later sailed north past the Balearic Islands to the southern shores of France, where they set up camp on the island of La Camargue in the Rhone delta.
Around 851 AD, the chieftain Olaf the White from Norway, reconquered Dublin, restored Norwegian supremacy, and finally chased the Danes out of Ireland. For the next twenty years Olaf ruled in Dublin, and his brother Ivar the Boneless, ruled in Limerick. In 870 Olaf the White was recalled to Norway, and the government of Dublin was taken over by his brother Ivar.
