Ragnar Lothbrok: The Saga of a Viking Warrior King

Ragnar Lothbrok: The Saga of a Viking Warrior King

In the wind-tossed wilds of the North, in an age of gods, raiders and sagas, a legend was born. Ragnar Lothbrok – warrior, seafarer, raider and king – became one of the most famous figures of the Viking Age, a man whose deeds blurred the line between history and myth.

From Settlement to Saga Discover the world that shaped him: life in a Viking settlement, the warrior's path, the call of the sea and the gods and rituals that governed Norse life. Meet Lagertha the shieldmaiden and Aslaug the seer, and follow Ragnar from his first blood to the raid on Paris.

Power, Prophecy and Revenge Trace the politics of the North, the fearsome legend of the blood eagle, the death of Ragnar and the fury of his sons, whose Great Heathen Army would reshape England.

The Legend Lives On Explore how Ragnar's story has travelled from the sagas to literature and the screen, how the Vikings met the Christian world, and which famous tales stand up to scrutiny.
