How Did Ragnar Wives ACTUALLY Die? Lagertha Death, Aslaug Death & Thora Death |

[@BimRen246]

Thank you for covering Lagertha, Aslaug and Thora

[@HistoricalExit]

Your welcome! Next video will be on Erik and Agnar which I think u will enjoy as well

[@avi.chan23]

wish, they would have included Thora into the TV show, maybe it would have made the transition of Ragnar from Lagertha to Aslaug a bit easier to digest. Him betraying Lagertha didn´t sit well, it would have been fine, to stay true to the story and the two just getting divorced because they weren´t such a great match after all.

[@sovereigncrux]

Well, very little of that TV show was legitimate. They had characters from all sorts of incompatible timelines, families made out of unrelated people, children given to other mothers for drama, and they had to pit Ragnar's wives against one another for ratings even though it is likely they never even met face to face. So overlooking Thora was the least of their problems. That said, I did enjoy the program for several seasons until they sort of lost control of it due to aforementioned issues. [Edit] If you enjoyed Vikings, look up Netflick's show Norsemen. It ran for three seasons and was spectacular as a parody of the series Vikings.

I liked the show until the end of the heathen army arc! It just wasn't the same without Ragnar! There were good episodes here and there!

[@lillired857]

@@christinestevenson4304 Im so bored of hearing this same old rubbish. It was excellent throughout

[@amberpowell2609]

That's an opinion and if a lot of people are saying the same. Well maybe it's a valid point. ​@@lillired857

[@annmarieknapp2480]

I agree. I was salty about Ragnar's betrayal.

[@heathermason9311]

Just found this channel! So excited to see how it grows.

[@HistoricalExit]

Welcome to Historical Exit, so far I think it's been growing pretty well and I hope it continues to do so :)

[@historyprofiles]

Great Video! I didn't know how some of these figures died in some versions of the sagas! Great info!

[@HistoricalExit]

Thanks bro, it was a fun video to research for, learned lots!

[@theravenscatalyst]

Aslaug was the mother of all of Ragnar’s sons, I thought it was unfortunate that the TV show didn’t keep it on track with actual history, and that they didn’t keep the show going with other famous Vikings.

[@isitoveryet9525]

The creator said his goal was never to be historically accurate….his goal was to make a very entertaining series. Which is funny, considering it was on the History Channel 😂

[@Lifeguard415]

Did not even know about Thora… why did Vikings delete her?

[@teresa6775]

I guess the same reason they got so much of the rest of the series so wrong. Who knows why

[@shannoncrosby442]

In history Aslaug was actually Björns mother not Lagertha

[@HistoricalExit]

Yes that is correct

[@dikshitasur5365]

Whaaaaat I didn’t know that! Why did Vikings change this history so much !!

[@themulletteer6839]

Keep up the good work man.

[@HistoricalExit]

Thank u so much, I really appreciate your support and kind words

[@percyahuriri2169]

Ragnar is my ancestor through a daughter of his named Alof Ragnarsdottir who is largely unknown. Our line continued to carry on with Asta Gudbrandisdottir who was the mother of both olaf the second and Harald hardrada. I'm very proud of these ancestors.

[@HistoricalExit]

that is very fascinating, ive made videos on all those historical figures uve mentioned definitely some elite ancestory there!

[@percyahuriri2169]

Tuesn takk og ha det bra! Jeg er veldig stolt av avstamning min.

[@AngerySnek]

I traced a line of my ancestry to Eirik the Victorious who was supposedly a descendant of Bjorn Ironside but it's difficult to judge the veracity of that descendance. I also suspect there were some shaky details in my tree to Eirik but it's fun to imagine I might be descended from viking legends

[@miissfits]

Literally everyone says that in this comment section 😂

[@shaunalea823]

I also descend from one of his daughters, his son Ivar, and his son Sigurd. My dad has been doing our genealogy we were shocked.

[@jturn103]

Ragnar Lothbrok is my ancestor as l trace my family tree back to him through my ancestor King Christian I of Norway..

[@HistoricalExit]

Wow that's really cool, quite the lineage uve got there my friend

[@miissfits]

Literally everyone says that in this comment section 😂

King Odin, here.

[@barbarabakinowska5680]

LOL

[@christinestevenson4304]

I didn't care for Vikings largertha, well how she became! She was a badass! I did like saga lagertha! And i do think that the show did work better making Bjorn her son! I

[@GiGi-Gigi408]

I'm glad you did your history ❤❤❤❤

[@HistoricalExit]

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the video !

[@ninadiamant8937]

A bear?! Guuurl.

[@GiGi-Gigi408]

Great job covering the mothers

[@HistoricalExit]

Thanks, it was a fun video to research and produce

[@thatclover123]

i have always felt a strong resonance with Aslaug

[@tessjones5987]

Good video.

[@shannoncrosby442]

Rollo is my 33rd great grandfather

[@HistoricalExit]

It's impressive that uve managed to trace your lineage so far back

[@AngerySnek]

Who was the viking king who's feast Aslaug died at? The auto-captions got the spelling wrong

[@HistoricalExit]

The tale of ragnars sons mentions someone named King Eystein a stepson of hers as the killer of Aslaug, but theres many kings that used that name and I havent been able to find much information about him specifically tho

[@specter8549]

You didn’t mention that Lagertha had kids with Ragnar.

[@freydis794]

That's because she didnt

[@specter8549]

@ actually they did. In Gesta Danorum, she and Ragnar had three children. A son named Fridleif, and two unnamed daughters.

[@AngerySnek]

@freydis794 Why you always lying

[@freydis794]

@AngerySnek Why ARE YOU always lying? See, that sounds better doesn't it.

[@freydis794]

@specter8549 lol

[@raeabella8700]

My father be like right if you can take them ets demons/ angels do this that you can have the princess.. lol ❤ fairytales..

[@Ohlàlà-f5s]

Aslaug alias Thora.Its the same

[@daviddrew3372]

I knew a woman who traced through Auslag.

[@rheadavid5359]

Ragnar lothbrok is a great....grandfather of mine.

[@suzannedavila1446]

I thought Bjorn belonges to the first wife?

[@HistoricalExit]

Nope Bjorn was Aslaugs son, the Vikings tv show just took a lot of liberties with the mythos

[@livingdeadgirl888]

Thora was poisoned. 💜
