Description

Mainlest Viking ever. He is known from Old Norse poetry of the Viking Age, Icelandic sagas, and near-contemporary chronicles. According to traditional literature, Ragnar distinguished himself by conducting many raids against the British Isles and the Carolingian Empire during the 9th century. He also appears in Norse legends, and according to the legendary sagas Tale of Ragnar's Sons and a Saga about Certain Ancient Kings,[4] Ragnar Lodbrok's father has been given as the legendary king of the Swedes, Sigurd Ring.[5][6]Ragnar Lodbrok's legendary status as a Viking chieftain and hero exemplifies the warrior aristocracy that defined Viking society during the early medieval period. The warrior aristocracy was a class of elite warriors who wielded political power, wealth, and influence based on their martial prowess, leadership, and ability to secure loyalty through plunder and patronage. In the Poem Havamal many different rules are highlighted to show what a good Norse warrior ought to be. Ragnar’s life is easily comparable to the different rules highlighted in the Hávamál.[72] Ragnar's role within this societal structure highlights the values and dynamics of Viking leadership.Warlord and Chieftain edit Ragnar is depicted as a charismatic and strategic leader who led numerous successful raids across Europe, including England and Francia. These exploits elevated his status as a powerful chieftain and warlord within the Viking hierarchy. His ability to gather and command loyal warriors was central to his influence, as a successful Viking leader depended on retaining a retinue of well-armed and motivated followers. Pursuit of Wealth and Glory edit In Viking society, wealth and fame were essential to a leader's prestige. In the Norse poem Hávamál[72] many of the Stanzas tell about the relevance of Wealth, fame and glory. In one of the Stanzas from the Hávamál[72] the poem says: Kinsmen die, You yourself die, gods and gold die; an honourable name will never die, one which was won by your own work[72] Would live or die by honor.

Additional Information:Together, Ragnar and Aslaug *his sadly dead wife* would have four children: Ubbe, Hvitserk, Sigurd, and Ivar. Given Ragnar's prestigious reputation amongst the Vikings, his sons are guaranteed to experience a fair share of admiration and jealousy throughout their lives. Some of Ragnar's children were given epithets that only elevated their status amongst the Vikings. Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig) was given the nickname "Ironside" as an ode to his iron skin. Many believed that given Bjorn's apparent indestructibility, that he was protected by the Gods. Shortly after his birth, Sigurd (David Linström) would be called "Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye" by his mother because of his eye that resembled a snake's. Ivar (Alex Høgh Andersen) would also receive an epithet. He would be hailed "Ivar the Boneless" because of his disability that left his legs useless. Even though all of Ragnar's sons didn't receive epithets, they do all have traits that could make them the worst to confront on the battlefield. He loves and is very proud of his sons.
