[@vegavega5344]

One Viking you should have added to this is Raud Den Rame (Rauðr Inn Rammi), he was a fearsome Viking chieftain who lived in a place in Norway called Saltstraumen (Saltstream), which is known today as tourist attraction because it is one of the worlds strongest maelstroms hotspots. During the Viking Age, Raud was believed to not only be a fearsome warrior, but also a powerful shaman. Since ships and men who came in to attack him usually ended up getting crushed and drowned by the powerful maelstrom in Saltstraumen, which at the time was believed to have been summoned by Raud himself. When the Viking King, Olav Tryggvason (now Christian) wanted to convert Raud, he refused. When failing to convert him to Christianity, he decided to kill him instead. He died by having a snake forced down his throat, and the snake would go berserk and eat him up from the inside.. This was a symbolic death by the hands of King Tryggvason, because Raud had a very nice longboat with a dragon head in the front, and a curled tail in the back, fittingly named Ormen. (The Worm/The Snake). After King Tryggvason killed Raud, he took the ship because it was much nicer than his own ship, this ship also was used later by King Tryggvason as a model for his new ship, Ormen Lange. (The long Worm/The long Snake). Raud den Rame was one of the most fearsome chieftains among the Hålogaland Vikings, which were very feared and brutal Vikings living in a specific area of northern Norway. (Basicly the die hard berserker vikings pictured in media today.)

Death comes without lamenting… Eager am I to depart. The Dísir summon me home, those whom Odin sends for me Valkyries from the halls of the Lord of Hosts.

For those wanting to see something about Ragnars sons revenge on England watch the show The Last Kingdom. It should still be on Netflix. It follows the great pagan army as it ravages England and the last English kingdom left, Wessex led by Alfred the great trying to stop them. Alfred would go on to unite the kingdoms and form England The main character is an Anglo son of an alderman whose father is killed in battle and he's taken in and raised as a Viking. His adopted Viking father is killed by another Viking in order to steal his adopted sister to make her his bride and he tries to go home but learns his uncle wants to kill him and be alderman himself. He flees south to Wessex and eventually swears fealty to Alfred so he can work his way up to get revenge on the people who killed his adopted father and eventually retake his birthright It's pretty unbiased with good and bad guys on either side. Not glorified. Alfred isn't made out to be some super human figure of strength and righteousness It also goes over the whole Christian vs pagan stuff pretty well Even though the main character is by birth an Anglo and was baptized his identity is that of his adopted family of the Norse and pagans. Lots of side switching and fighting adopted brother against adopted brother

[@Barlofontain]

God no. Real(ish) people, but events separated by hundreds of years, all crammed in and associated to Ragnar and his sons The initial raid at Lindisfarne (attributed to Ragnar in the show), was in 793. The Great Heathen Army, invaded in 865. Harald Finehair died in 932. Erik the Red died 1002, about the time that his son, Lief Erikson, (not Ubba), was discovering North America. He died in 1020 But The Sagas that the tales of Ragnar Lödrock come from, are just as exaggerated, it's still a good show

[@Barlofontain]

Clarke most "evidence" has Ivar dying in Ireland, around 873... I say "evidence" as any contemporary sources are by English and Irish chronicallers, as the Vikings never wrote anything down, so they may have wanted to say that he died for propaganda purposes, but he doesn't appear after that in any documents

[@dudleyhamby2029]

@@Kumalala_Homophobic Thank you for your comment my friend. I truly hope all is well with you and your family. In the times we live in we must stand united as people,white,black, brown, yellow and red. We all bleed the same color. So stand tall for what is right and true and fight against ignorance and hate. These words I say to you all,"I am not left wing nor right wing, I am the heart of the eagle,I am a true American viking who stands against tyranny and evil". Remember, united we stand and divided we fall. So be well,be safe and be real. I love you all!!!

Harald Finehair is a character worth mentioning. He wished to marry a girl, who would only take his hand when he had united all of Norway under his banner. So he swore not to cut his hair or beard until the deed was done. That was Norway's first King.

I recently found out that in my genealogy and family history I'm a blood descendant of Ivar the Boneless. Working on getting the proper body shape to make my ancestors proud.

[@ovekkjlstad7703]

Definitely a list made in Great Britain. If you go to Scandinavia, you will get a complete different list.

[@alexruddies1718]

Wait, wait, wait... The Battle of Stiklestad (Harold Hardrada's first battle) wasn't a battle to reclaim the throne of Norway. It was, in a sad reality, an attempt to forcibly convert the population of Norway to Christianity in an attempt to gain favor with other Christian kingdoms throughout Europe. King Olaf II of Norway led an army to quell an uprising of peasants (which consisted of not just pagans, but Christians too, led by three chieftains, one of which was Thorir Hund, my ancestor). This resulted in the defeat of King Olaf II's forces and his own death. Of course, like so many other things in human history, the pendulum swung hard in the other direction and in King Olaf's death brought upon even more death to the people of Norway with his successor being even more ruthless than Olaf. And after the successor of King Olaf passed away, the throne was put upon Harold Hardrada, which he continued his predecessor's policy with subjecting the pagans (and their Christian allies) with harsh punishments and authoritarian rule.

[@TheSamuraijim87]

That is definitely not true. It may be you are confused about Olaf II with Olaf Tryggvason, who did violently enforce Christianity. Olaf II was exiled by the seizure of the throne of Norway by Canute the Great, another Christian King. Canute, though a Christian, was supported by the Jarls of Lade who were inclined to pagan worship and had obtained a position equal to regents of Norway by inviting the Christian Danes under Sweyn Forkbeard, Canute's father, to overthrow Olaf Trygvasson in coalition with Lade and Pagans from Sweden, at the Battle at Svolder. Norway was subsequently carved up and the Jarls of Lade, though Pagan, became strongmen for the Christian Danes. Olaf II was definitely involved in Christianizing Norway, but if he favored Christian clans more than those who were pagan, that is surely attributable to the fact that he was violently overthrown by the pagans of Lade, who were, at any rate, acting as enforcers of the Christian Canute, so the story is much, much more complex than Olaf II was fighting to enforce Christianity.

Norsemen were spooked easily too by Sami and Siberian related shamanism. Why they left Finnic tribes alone. (Finnish, Estonian and North Western Russia) and instead travelled South.

There is also the fact that Finnic tribes weren't as rich.

Thank you so much for your Vikings history. You give verification for the Vikings mini series. While watching the seirs, we just were not sure how much of it was fact. It turns much of it was indeed. I am curious was there such a monk by the name of Athelstan? Also the sexual habits of the Vikings interested me. Was there such a custom of two men sharing a woman at the same time?

For all those who think Ragnar/regunharus was just a myth!!! Ragnar's death speech (my death comes without lamenting) was written down during the 11th century !!! He evidently was a brutal and proud person and he didn't even feared one of the most brutal deaths!!! For evidences you should check out Swedish library and his manuscripts in English history (800-900) century !!!!!
