Many things have already been said about vikings and the iconic Ragnar Lodbrok. Many people have no doubt heard of his exploits through the series "Vikings" and its portrayal of Norsemen in the Dark Ages and Viking Era. However, how close to "reality" are those exploits? Were they reality at all? And how did the real legend go, as opposed to the more recent portrayals in media?
The first two questions will be difficult to answer. But the latter? Well, it just so happens that the Hipstorian brushed up on his Old Norse and is about to share the story as it once used to be told in times of old by the skalds themselves! Fine, he may have used the help of a translated version by Chris van Dyke as well, but it won't get much closer than this!
Minor parts may have been excluded from the original story for the sake of pace and clarity.
