This episode explores the legend of Ragnar Lothbrok, the famous Viking warrior whose story blends saga, folklore, and real ninth-century conquest. From dragon fights and magical wives to the snake pit death that supposedly brought his sons to England, Ragnar’s life is almost impossible to separate from myth.

We trace the history behind Ragnar Lothbrok, including the Paris raid of 845, Ivar the Boneless, Bjorn Ironside, the Great Heathen Army, and the fall of Northumbria. Along the way, we look at how Viking conquest created the Danelaw, changed the future of England, and turned one legendary name into a dynasty.
