I don’t mind some Hollywood liberty nowadays, but the idea of Aella capturing Ragnar and then the Great Heathen Army in AngleLand (England, the land of the Angles), matches history.

Honestly, this history is already entertaining, you don’t have to change history much at all (if at all) to tell this great story. (This being said, I am very disappointed Alfred is presented as a bastard son of a princess and a priest, not at all historical, and in Alfred’s day such a man would never have been called “the great” much less ruled in a christian land).

He was the first of the line that established Normandy as a duchy. Certainly a powerful position, but not kingship.

Ragnar is to be captured by King AElla of North Umbria and is executed by the pit of snakes. Later, Bjorn and his brothers get revenge by raising “The Great Heathen Army”, attacking AElla, capturing him, and executing him via “The Blood Eagle”.
