The Real Story of Ragnar Lothbrok and His Three Wives 

How the little piggies 🐷 will grunt when they hear how the old boar 🐗 suffered!!

I am of Norwegian ancestry and love to hear the Viking tales over & over. This was very well done!

There aren't many in my Favorites, Library category;; thank you! I'm subscribed, and don't know how I never found you before!

I thoroughly enjoyed this narration

What a well done grippingly authored story. Holding me to the very end. I truly can't wait to hear the others an read of the full books! Thank you for bring history alive again.

The prevailing theory of most historians is that Ragnar was fictional and likely a combination of 3 vikings. I like to think he was real

Damn, I should have read these stories before having the History channel's Vikings mess up my brain! LoL, love these stories!

Why not mention that Sigurd Ring was a swedish king?

The Norse sagas are all available in English, if anyone is interested.

"It gladdens me to know that Odin has prepared for a feast, soon I shall be drinking Ale from curved horns. This hero that comes into Valhalla does not lament his death. I shall not enter Odins hall with fear. There, I shall wait for my son's to join me and when they do I will bask In their tales of triumph. The assir will welcome me, my death come without apology and I welcome the Valkarys to summon me home"

I truly enjoyed listening to this story, well done! Makes for an excellent story for us insomniacs, too. ♥️👍

Very well done sir👍👍👍

Thank you I really appreciate your story

A great narrative awakening of the Saga of Ragnar Lothbrook. Thanks.

It's a real story, even if the story isn't real.

I love this!!!! Amazing history lessons

Great Story. I am impressed. 😊

Am not normally in to stories with animation but this was very well done. I'm an actor that can appreciate when a tale is portrayed so well that the audience member loses themselves in the narrative, which is exactly my experience watching your piece.

Can you please make the nexr video of the story of Beowulf? I really love the stories like this

Yes. In my family tree he was killed by the pit of snakes. Sad! I am thankful for him. My family is here due to him being one of my 38th Great Grandfathers. I knew some of what he did. Thank you for making this video. Vikings! 🕊 ❤

This was good really enjoyed,most of the viking things I have read were very savage with lots of plundering and brutality,but this sensibly told really enjoyed and trully captivated,thanks!!!!!!

What a heroic saga! I listened to this because a Norwegian friend has a cat she has named Lodbrok. I looked up the name and think it is perfect for a furry cat. Then I wanted to know more about Ragnar.

What a beautiful story

Eggel the bald was seven feet tall and dove up the stones to make his forge. His bad temper caused his exile from his native land. At the end of his life ,his third leg dripped and drooped,and he was given a special place by the fire.

Don't know about historic story. But it is entertaining 🤠

i enjoyed that nice

The only resemblance between the tv show, enjoyable as it was, and the actual sagas, is little more than the names. A thoroughly enjoyable presentation.

What source did you find these stories. There are so many versions.

A lot of details were very off or misplaced or simply added in to make modern sense but I found it to be very captivating and possibly learned a new thing or two to look into

I'm blind in one eye from a battle in an American prison, so reading is difficult. Thank you for skillfully reading these wonderful stories I enjoyed it more than you realize. 👌

THANK YOU.

I have to admit that RAGNAR is a badass name! 👍😃

Thank you

Missing one piece of the death song. Ragnar says: Grunt, the piglets will if they knew what the old Boar suffered. In Danish: Grynte ville grisene hvis de vidste hvad galten led. It is a joke and a hint of revenge. The saying is still part of the Danish language to this day.

How u make this figures?! What app u use?

As much as i adore the series of Vikings. But imagine if they did the whole of this story, theyd have so much more episodes and id be highly hooked as i am on Vikings. watched it 3times already and half way through season1 again

is the a hard bound version of the book?

Kráka, Áslaug and Gríma are the same persone, Áslaug changed her name throut her life and after Ragnars death she took the name Kráka. For real. Read the books for once befoure making videoes on it online. And in what book do thay say Lagatha met Ragnar. It does not come in Ragnarsdrápu, Þættir Ragnarssonum or Völsungasaga witch are the only books written from the north about him. One other book his name comes up but that is an saxon book, you can imagen how you would make him look after he deared to kill monks and prests. (That is also the only book written on lagatha, and the old scandinavian writings do not even acknolage her at all in there storyes)

Braw 😊 thanx

Good info, but the tempo & pace of the background music does not fit well with the video.

Thora Townheart was the one who suffered the fate that the TV show version of Aslaug did.

An interesting lifestory,of valor with courage and courting to marry,very intriguing too!!!!!!!🤔🙄

Always a pleasure to watch and what a lovely girl. Thank you as always Dave and camera lady.

This would make a great movie

YOU. TELL. A. GOOD. STORY

I saw this video and I'm like 🥳 PLAY

Love the story! But they were half brothers..not step🥰and it's Godfather not foster father

"The real story..." and several images of the characters are shown having horns on their helmets. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.

Ragnar's sons would have been half brothers, not step brothers.

Interesting

At this time there were no Norway, Denmark or Sweden yet, the land was divided by Kingdoms! Ragnar it said had A Danish tie, as does Rollo The Dane! I am A descendent from Rollo and some other Viking Kings as well!Love these stories, but would Love to find where Rollo (Hrolf) fits in!

No volume. I couldn't hear a darn thing in this video. Darn it. I really wanted to watch this.

Ragnar was wearing shaggy pants before it was a thing.

what a beast.

I can tell you what the problem with Ragnar's wives are they all hate each other so Ragnar said F this and walked a way with two middle fingers in the air

I liked the story especially of vikings

I loved him X

3 top historical movies for your day. King Arthur director's cut only" w Clive Owen Kiera Knightley and many great actors. Pompeii w kit Harrigan and keifer Sutherland, huge gladiator movie. And then Gladiator itself. You can find all 3 free on youtube and lots of Vikings from history Chanel's go get your Ragnar Lothbrok on. Vikings you gotta see that.

Magic shirt, perhaps it was made with some type of armor that's why he always escaped battle without a scratch?

Great story but to say, Real Story...well myth or fact hmm. Still enjoyed.

It's Sigurd that kills the dragon if u read about Sigurd and the dragon it's a old storie her in Skandinavin sry my English.

Dragons bane....that one's a tale for sure..😅

Imagine being 15 years old, your mom dies and your dad goes super simp for a woman who he barely knows, fails to get with her and kills himself to be with her, maybe...

WHat is missing inthe show ragnar met lagertha

many comments of being related to Ragnar and not to be a killjoy but many historians are not certain that he was real. he is not considered a specific historical person, like Rollo, or William the Conqueror, for example, who are real people who interacted with other known historical persons Rollo had an agreement with King Charles the Simple of west Francia william the conqueror was married to Mathilda descendant of Alfred the Great. many of the characters in the Ragnar story are not necessarily proven historical people.

Wow and GoT I thought was hard to follow all the threads

This is my ancestor I came through his son Bjorn ironside

Hear about woulf Palnatoke

See!

Was it in York that Ragnar met his deth

IF THIS GREAT STORY 👍WOULD HAVE MADE IT TO BIG SCREEN THEIR'S NO WAY IT WOULDN'T BE A SMALL BUDGET MOVIE

Can't even pronounce the names right lagertha lol ok decent video I like how you came up with the dialog to tell the story

What happened to that shirt mom made?

what do you mean Real Story of Ragnar ??

This is all good fun, and I have enjoyed listening to the stories, but horned helmets? This detail is just not accurate. Horns on a battle helmet invites an opponent to hook or knock it off your head.

Very fun, also very inaccurate to *all the sagas* But, it's a fun story. That's the point of the Saga's, so fair enough. (P.S, Erik and Agner were children of his first wife, who was not Aslaug. Their eldest child was Ivarr).

Glorious. This how I'm trying to live, "without breaking too many more major laws" I'd love to meet a sheild maiden like that. I'm Celtic but I feel these people more than anyone else. Tho Celtic stories are very rare. The Roman's so hurt by my peoples strength in resistance that the made many slaves of my people would be Gladiators in the such and mostly they killed off our only masters of reading and writing history and I will destroyed whatever the writing and artifacts anything that they could find of the celtics. Just they just decimated the ones in Europe but my ancestors in the UK really give them a hard fight for which they took the South and created Hadrian's Wall kept my people to the north man my mother's people anyway the kincaids and my mother's father's people who became the westcotts far north England before Scotland they went through a different name I don't know if they were part of the pics or who they were. But they were there. And my father's people had gone to Ireland the o d o w n e y Clan when I looked up their name and the kincaids they were listed as people who would fought the Romans and we're originally from somewhere in the UK but ended up where they were because South half of England taken by the Romans until the Romans left around 500 AD the time of the real Chief Arthur or King Arthur and the Anglo-Saxons came on down what a nightmare that was actually later today I'm going to watch the one good closer to truth King Arthur director's cut with all sorts of really great actors including Keira Knightley is going to be her Celtic Warrior lady and they show Merlin as he really was just as the Celtics da Vinci man of wisdom great inventor magic to the uninitiated I guess you could say. Yeah the Romans really slaughtered a great number of people that were our leaders are priests all in one they all met and trained and learns and one large island and in certain places and then went back out to the people of their local lands where they would teach and guide and Lead there but would occasionally meet back with the others of their kind the infamous druids. The Roman's called druids bad for human sacrifice but it's ok to put defenseless pacifist Christians to death in a Colosseum. Not a fair fight with a Lion. Realy not cool man. God, I love history. Today Il watch Clive Owans King Arthur only the director cut" 2x action. And then the gladiator movie "Pompeii" another insanely good history type huge movie with Kit Harrigan as the main warrior on of the last Horsemen Celtic warriors. As a brutal Gladiator when the volcano blew. KIEFFER Sutherland is a great bad guy in that movie, perfect Roman A hole And he can fight well. Great actors

This is the story they should've went with in Vikings on history it would've been a much better story then that false story the history channel put regardless if it was enjoyable or not it was not historically accurate.

Burned bread lol😂! The tv show has me so messed up.

All in all it sounds like Ragnar lived a pretty good life.

wow

In legends. The Current Queen of Denmark Margrethe the II, has his blood in her vains.

He sounds like a character from Skyrim!

How does this make sense wit the dragon. It took 3 men to pull the spear out. N sum how Ragnar had the beginning of the spear so how did the men pull the spear

Bjorn Ironsides is my 34th great-grandfather

Ragnar and Lagertha had a son Fridleif and two unamed daughters

Isn’t it pronounced lag-a-ther?

Jutland spells jylland hehe

Ah yes, Ragnarok. I seem to recall Thor mentioning it.

Can there really be a TRUE story about Ragnar? We only have legends

Old Furpants rides again....

"The real story...he killed a dragon" ssuuurrreeee

FOR A SECOND I THOUGHT IT WAS GOR THE GOD KILLER FROM THOR LOVE AND THUNDER.🤦‍♂️👈

Oh, are Todd and I living some weird duelity? I'm Thor, I'm confused.... usually Ragnar is married to Paula... oO Lucifer ( listening ) wtf

The real legend would be a more fitting title as it's not really history.

cannot trust a video that calls the famous shield lady La-Guurtha lol wtf

Almost lead me to believe this was the real story of ragnar until the Dragon came into the story.but still listening

I wonder if its because of this story that princess and dragons are synonomous with fairy tails of all kinds

Lagertha never heard of a long distance relationship ? 😂 sounds ultimatum ish 😂

So history channel was a bit confused on much but Bjorn Ivar and Sigurd were his kids😯..sad we can't count on history channel for real history...the story is quite different
