The Legends Behind 6 of the Most Intriguing Vikings Characters 

how the little piggies will grunt when they hear how the old boar suffered.

ragnar allegedly divorcing lagertha because he was annoyed is the most ragnar thing ever

It’s 2020 and I still can’t get over Ragnar’s death! Poor soul :(

Who else wanted him to say Frankia instead of France??

Vikings without Ragnar is like Family guy without Peter

In my opinion, each of Ragnar's sons were made to embody one major aspect of his personality. Ivar is Ragnar's wit, which always came with him being ruthless as it was the part of him that made him a great conquerer. Sigurd was the embodiment of his sympathy, a trait that made Ragnar quite bad at conquering, but a great father, lover, and family member (this could be why Sigurd and Ivar never got along, since Ragnar's wit and desire for conquering interfered with his sense of sympathy all the time). Ubbe is the embodiment of his sense of justice, which is what made Ragnar a great ruler. Hvitserk is the embodiment of his pursuit of the truth. More specifically, Ragnar's struggle with his religion and moral code. And finally, Bjorn is the embodiment of his bravery, which is what made Ragnar a great fighter. Hope you guys like this interpretation. And please give it a thumbs up if you do. Been thinking about it for some time now.

Floki IS NOT a made up character. He's real and full name was Hrafna-Flóki Vilgerðarson. He is known as the first Norseman who deliberately set sail to the island we know as Iceland today. That being said, Floki was the third Viking explorer to sail there and the one before him, Garðar Svavarsson also knew where he was headed.

Björn’s bloodline still exist here in Sweden and many Swedes are blood relatives whit björn

My name is Floki, and these are my two sons Oki and doki...

"....And I promise u my son,that one day the whole world will know and fear Ivar The Bonless"

Ragnar: ayo lemme get a son... And uh... Lemme get dat shit BONELESS

Interesting facts about Oisloig, Evah and Ragnar lofbrock. And King Ale ofcourse.

Aslaug - the biggest thot in vikings lol

Pretty much all of Ragnars family was more famous than him in the end, that's kind of the point.

"I shall enter odin's haul with no fear" "Soon I will be drink irl from curved hornes" "I welcome the valkieris to summon me home"

This has to be the most depressing voice over I've heard on RU-vid.

I really loved Ragnar's character in the series! I miss the Ragnar from seasons 1 and 2 - that kind of Ragnar

"Ubbie" LOL

I used to love this show, but when Ragnar died I lost all interest and quit watching. Also, according to what i read, he married Lagertha 3 different times; I was grossly disappointed in the show for keeping the Auslaug character as his wife and not reflecting the 2nd and 3rd marriages to Lagertha. Auslaug was, IMO, a terrible character, boring, unnecessary and irritating. They butchered history enough times they could have done so again to bring Lagertha and Ragnar back together. The show would have been so much better that way :(

There is one other theory about Ivar the Boneless. Vikings were known to give Ironic names. Like calling a really big guy "tiny", or a really fat guy "slim" A viking grave was uncovered in England several years ago. It was a massive grave. Filled with lots of treasure and dead slaves but the viking inside was far from boneless. In fact he was huge. They are not sure that this was Ivar but the time and location of burial fits with Ivar and it's hard to imagine there were that many other vikings of the day that would warrant such a fine send off.

FUCK Aslaug😂

I don't care how you pronounce Aslaug, She's always gonna be Ass Log to me.

I am obsessed with this topic... thank you for the vid.

I feel cheated I can’t believe lagertha is not ironsides mother and it was him who jumped out the coffin

Vikings is like a real-life version of Game of Thrones.... minus the gratuitous nudity. Love the Vikings show!

Where's Floki? The magical boat builder?

everyone wanted to be more famous than Ragnar, comparing themselves to his popularity and making him more famous in the due process... that's a legend

You killed it with the background music haha

There once was a hero named Ragnar the Red, Who came riding to Whiterun from old Rorikstead.

Bjorn is the son of Ragnar and Aslaug? what a surprise!

Love these kinds of historical videos

Thanks for sharing that kind of information

Great video. Fell in love with the show, now I'm obsessed with Viking lore & history.

Boneless is a synonym for wind, wich could refer to his ability as a navigator. Sounds a lot more likely than a crippled viking warlord.

Great video!!!

i have finished the 6 seasons of the show Vikings and been wondering ever since season 1 about the history of Vikings. This video is informative. They really exists huh! The characters in the show have similarities in history. Amazing!

Awesome video!

The fitting pace and subtitle make it really a pleasant to watch. A very good video.

Best line viking ...In my mind, I wish I had never left the farm.

One of the ideas for Ivar is that he was super agile and wore very light armor. So he would move very fast in battle that wouldn’t be possible in the heavier armor that other Vikings wore

Just discovered the series on Amazon Prime this week and have been on a binge - now up to series 2 finale. Love it!

I cringed super hard every time you pronounced those names.

Ragnar & Ivar are the reason i watch Vikings ♥ 🔥

Bro u really gave awesome infos

Ivar was called boneless because he was an agile and capable fighter. So much so he moved as if he had no bone. If he was truly a crippled he would be called the lame and not boneless

cool vid. Ever since ive been watching vikings they started to catch my interest more and more. Its nice to have some background information.

Very interesting!

Thank you!

Cool video. I think it was one of the writers that said that Rollo and Ragnar were actually a couple hundred years apart. They just put many of the characters together for the series.

Interesting how they kinda got both of Ragnar's causes of death in there. They did have him fall gravely ill during the seize on Paris, even faking his own death and then leaving it unsure if he'd make it at the end of the season. This could actually explain why some would go away thinking he'd died. Then of course he comes back and has his more dramatic death later in England. Very clever how they do their best to combine all the myths.

Thank you , very useful resume .

“RAGNA” Me: *eye twitch*

I hope Vikings lasts for 6 more seasons

nice insights, but you slaughtered the pronunciation of the names, outside vitzegs and bjorn's the rest you just smashed them to patata

Awesome Information 👍👍😊

Awesome explanation 👌

"She had a massive bear and a great hound guarding her home"... Even the narrator almost snickered a little while reading that line... LOL

History is awesome... be it fact based or legend.

York is an amazing city. Just up the road from me. Still has dungeons and roman fortifications.

Thanks for the video!

Informative and well made. Thank you.

Great video! The subtitles are the best - I'm latina and sometimes it's a little bit hard to understand everything just by hearing it-

Nice video👍

Wicked thanks 😎

OMG!! THIS IS AMAZING!! The book series called "The last kingdom" links with this - The english side after Ragnars story - I remember Boneless

Awesome video bro it was really interesting and gave me a lot of new knowledge about the characters from the show. Ragnar's death though made me really sad:( I hope he get a better death in the show

Never seen a smile like Ragnar's ♥️

The last kingdom is one of my favorite Vikings show I have never watched Vikings but I might

Great video

For someone who's from Scandinavia I love how you pronounce the viking names, haha!

When he said "Frø", I cried so beautiful

Ivar at number one wow 🔥 Alex really played Ivars character so good

RIP Ragnar, I'm sure everyone has seen it by now.

Sweden then. Look at us now.

Thank you for the most part pronouncing things properly!! I'm so sick of people not doing their linguistic research! Again, thank you!!

Very interesting stuff 👍👍👍👍

Every time I think about the blood eagle I become Nathan explosion saying "brutal"

2020 I still can't believe season 6 is the end 😢😭

GREAT !

Vikings without Ragnar is like the office without Michael

Rollo was the French name. His name was Rolf. Gange- Rolf. Walking Rolf!

this is pretty cool, but i'm just curious if all of it is actually true? regardless, it makes for a good storyline.... but I just like to know there's truth to this kinda stuff. makes the show ten times better.

Eva the Boneless, my favourite mage.

Imagine being one of the most feared Viking Kings and the possible cause of your death is shitting your pants too violently...couldn’t be me

The impact that the vikings had on european history is actually kind of astonishing. They raided and migrated everywhere. From the eastern russian territories, all the way to the british isles and france. I like vikings. The culture is so badass, even though they tend to glorify it in TV shows and movies.

I am a Vikings addict! 💖

fav series

Man Vikings made me cry

The story of Floki and Harald are pretty interesting as well

“The Norsemen” is much more accurate than “Vikings”

Very entertaining

Very interesting....

So sad seeing the Ragnar die i cried alot remembering all the memories. Thanks for a great show

As a dane i cant help my self but to cringe when hearing those pronounciations..

Bjorn is actually lagertha’s son

Ivar's name is well known. His actual name is really translated to "loose bones" and not boneless. The bones refered to being his legs, because he traveled the world and conquered far outside the north .

Just recently discovered the show, and man, do i love it! I'm on season 4 episode 5. I hope it continues and doesn't suddenly stop like sons of anarchy.

I bet everyone in the restaurant turn their heads when you order food.

Travis was literally the best actor to play Ragnar. He did such an incredible job.

It's 2021 my all time favorite bonding FLOKI WITH RAGNAR 😍 real meaning of friendship
