He paid the ransom. They beheaded him anyway - because of what he said next
In this episode, we follow Ascall mac Ragnaill meic Torcaill’s fall from a ruler who navigated shifting powers to a captive facing a final choice. We trace Dublin’s place between Irish and Norse worlds, the alliances and decisions that shaped Ascall’s rule, and the moment that led to his capture and execution-what would you have said then?
Person: Ascall mac Ragnaill meic Torcaill
Event: Fall of Dublin and Ascall’s capture
Date: September 1170 (Dublin fell on 21 September 1170)
Location: Dublin; exile in northern isles (Orkney/Hebrides/Mann unspecified)
Topic: Norse-Gaelic kingship, ransom, fleet assembly
- Ascall inherited Dublin after his uncle Brodar mac Torcaill was slain in 1160 and led a city fluent in Norse and Gaelic ties.
- After High King Muirchertach Mac Lochlainn’s death, Ascall abandoned Diarmait Mac Lochlainn and paid four thousand cows in tribute to align with Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair.
- Dublin’s fleet had served Henry II in 1165, showing Ascall’s engagement with English power years before the Normans arrived.
- In August 1170, Strongbow and Mac Lochlainn captured parts of Leinster; on 21 September 1170 the sources record simply: “Dublin fell.”
- Exiled to the northern islands, Ascall gathered a large fleet (sources give 60 or 100 ships) and returned-then was captured, ransomed, and made the fatal remark after payment.
