Ragnar Lothbrok, a semi-legendary Norse hero, was a legendary Viking warrior and ruler whose exploits are chronicled in Old Norse sagas and medieval chronicles. His story is a blend of myth and historical fact.
Ragnar was a farmer who rose to prominence through his skill in battle and cunning tactics. He raided England and France, earning both fame and fortune. He famously led the Viking raid on the monastery at Lindisfarne in 793 AD, marking the beginning of the Viking Age.
His saga tells of his marriages to Lagertha and Aslaug, as well as his sons, including Bjorn Ironside, Ivar the Boneless, and Ubbe.
Ragnar's legend grew with each conquest, and he became a symbol of Viking power and prowess. His death, allegedly thrown into a pit of snakes by King Aella of Northumbria, marks the end of his saga, but his legacy lives on in Norse mythology and popular culture, including the TV series "Vikings."
