Viking Ragnar Lodbrok Wanted To Kill His Son Ivar The Boneless
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Famous Viking Ragnar Lodbrok is today remembered as a legendary and fearless Sea-King whose history is very unusual.
Lodbrok considered himself a direct descendant of the God Odin, and he was one of the most popular Norse heroes among the Vikings. His sons became just as famous and heroic as he had been.
On one occasion, Lodbrok learned from a seer that he would have many famous sons. He became somewhat obsessed with this prophecy, which almost led to a tragic event when he tried to kill his son, Ivar the Boneless.
Lodrok's relationship with his sons was full of contractions. He wanted his children to be brave, strong, and fearsome warriors, but at the same time, he was also afraid his sons could become more popular than he was.
One of his sons was Ivar the Boneless, who was a Berserker warrior.
