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.
