Ivar the Boneless (c. 794 AD (birthplace unknown) - 872 AD Dublin) was the nickname of Ivar Ragnarsson, a viking chieftain, who, in 865 AD, with his brothers Halfdene and Hubba, invaded the East Anglian region of England. An accommodation was reached with the East Anglians. The following year, Ivar led his forces north on horseback and captured York.
