I'm half Irish (mother from Dublin) and half African American (father from South Carolina) and love anything history related. My paternal haplogroup originated in Scandinavia, which I recently found out from doing 23andme. So perhaps my interest in viking history unknowingly stemmed from that 🤷🏽♂️
The battle scene (of the Vikings series) where Ivor The Boneless threw axes while sitting on his arse, after being knocked off his chariot, in the rain, screaming and yelling his battle-cry, his army climbing up from the sewers: was the most fierce, convincing, and frightening Hollywood battle I'd ever seen. It is a masterfully depicted scene. 🎥

@@simonbroberg969everything you just said was f****** stupid you need to learn history. Ragnar lothbrok for one was not swedish, and he didn't die in Mercia he died in Northumbria. Seriously I don't think you know anything about what you're talking about.
Im Swedish and i live in Uppsala as you mention in your video. We have a places called Old Uppsala in Uppsala and there are 3 big hills that is called the kings hills after viking kings that are bured there. The have done excavations there and they found boatgraves whit human and animal remains and things in them from vikings. They belive its from the age of 900
Just finished watching "VIKINGS"... Excellent show... Also, very much enjoyed "THE LAST KINGDOM" which is the story of Uhtred of Babbemberg(sp?)... His story is very intriguing as well... The castle still stands today & is available for tours... Love the Viking History...
You can get married at Bamburgh Castle, it's a licensed wedding venue! The only thing putting us off is that they can only do small receptions; we're trying to work around that because I'm so hoping to get married in a Northumbrian castle ❤
IMO Ivar was the best one. I had already been curious about what he’d be like as an adult when the series showed his birth and childhood, and I was also interested in the historical Ivar, but way Alex Høgh Andersen portrayed him in the series and the way he just became the character and gave his all to that performance blew me away and made Ivar even more iconic, especially coming from such a young actor, and as a fellow disabled person (although not physically) I could relate to Ivar’s anger and his struggles. No wonder he’s a fan favourite. LEGEND.
I've been waiting to watch this one all day I came home from work I showered had a chicken Caesar salad now it's time to hit play thank you again for all your great content this one's going to be epic
It is inconceivable that being one of the most enduring civilizations, vanished for their internal conflicts. Ambition, greed and lust were their destruction. I love Vikings history.
I would love a more accurate account of the history channels version of these tales...The options are endless as to how to tell these stories interestingly due to so many perspectives and time lines...Great video!
I watched Vikings and The Last Kingdom. I wanted to learn more about Vikings...found your channel...thank you bunches 😊. I don't believe EVERYTHING is told about them. I believe so much was buried/destroyed. Many people did not want these warriors to be remembered.
My great great grandfather was 6ft8 .his ancestors came to Virginia colony and over time they served in the Virginia Militia and married into other landed military families related to George Washington. They came to the new world from the York area of England. I have seen some freemasons believe George Washington was a direct male descendant of Half- Dan. Great video!
I am of Scottish/ Highland descent. There is Pictish genealogy in my Caledonian bloodline. That means, I share kinship with Vikings. I found this recounting totally riveting. My grand fathers family spoke Scots Gaelic, Doric and Flemish. They were seamen of Orkney.
Thank you 💛. I watched the TV series a few years ago and I loved it. I was really sad when Ragnar was dumped into that pit full of snakes. He won my heart. I thought Beon's mother was Ragnar's first wife, and she was a great shield maiden and warrior. ??? Thank you 💛 very much for this excellent documentary about the Great Ragnar Lothbrok and his famous sons. One undeniable fact is that Ragnar produced one hell of a bloodline of greatness and fame. Thanks again!!!
Bjorn was, according to the Norse Sagas, the son of Aslaug and a younger brother of Ivar. Vikings, the TV series, changed some key information - making Bjorn Lagatha's son. I love Lagatha's portrayal in the series- but she was the mother of Eric and Aegnor in the sagas.
@motormule many historians have settled on "Ragnar Lodbrok"" being a composite of many people. He is known as "semi-legendary," because of the tales of his sons that are found in the English annals of history, the French records, Spain, Italy, and even Kiev .
@motormule I'm not arguing the point you made here. That's the legendary part of "semi-legendary" What I'm trying to point out is the brothers from the Great Heathen Army had a dad. We have historical record of the Norsemen's many raids into Europe and Rus. There are records of Ivar, Bjorn, Sigurd, Halfdan, and Ubbe - sons of Ragnar. Just because a guy maybe wasn't a hero twelve times over doesn't erase him.
The real Uhtred the Bold lived 100 years after Alfred the Great. They never met, although Uhtred married Alfred's 3 times great-grand-daughter. I'm descended from all of them. Alfred is my 45th great grandfather. I'm also descended from Sigurd Snake in Eye and Blaeya, through their third daughter I am blind in one eye and my pupil was white. My Auntie Vera was also blind in one eye. Is this Sigurd's legacy?
This is so cool!! From tracing my ancestry back I think I’m directly descended from Ivar the Boneless. I think from memory I’ve traced it from Australia. Back to England to France to Norway to Sweden. And I think it’s only 35 generations back
While I was researching my family tree I went way way back and found out that my ancestors are Ragnar. I travelled to York to find out more information. I have enjoyed my journey learning of my family's history. This documentary was brilliant to watch I have shared this with my children. We will be going back to York soon as we don't live to far away from there and doing more research.
Ya'll are trippin.. it wasn't just Ragnar's story it was the story of his whole line and the revenge for his death was the best part of the whole series. Watching all of his sons duke it out was amazing too.
This was fascinating. Thank you for the history. LIZ from California I will be coming to Scandinavia this summer. It’s nice to get some backstory to a lot of the history will be seeing.
Same one of the most impressive thing for me is everywhere they went and they eventually settled into from Normandy England even the Normans in Sicily the varangian guard all were the best warriors and their generations all from Norse and or Viking stock
Hey, the only reason William was able to break Ivar's curse was because he was a descendant of Vikings. So really he didn't break the curse, he ensured it 😁
No the name Viking is used in retrospect to refer to the Scandinavian race that existed in Norway and surrounding areas and then began to move outwards, it is also used to differentiate between other Germanic peoples in the area for example saxons, Angles ect. It did originally refer to a raider but has taken on the classification of a race as it is specific to that group. It is clear now that if someone talks of vikings they are not referring to random raiders but specifically Scandinavian people from a certain time period. People researching back will not say they have ancestors who are Norwegian and German when researching the 900s for example, they will state thay they have ancestors that were Vikings and Anglo Saxons as this gives more clarity on the persons involved and the group that race was part of. Of course in terms of race the Vikings, Saxons, Danes, Angles ect were all part of the Germanic race as are the groups in those areas today. A large percentage of British people have shared dna from William the conqueror who in turn was decended from Rollo the walker a "viking'
@@wendyHew Viking- the act of raiding/Vikingr- individual Norse raider/Vikingar- multiple Norse raiders. That being said, when referring to the Viking age, they're specifically referring to the age of Scandinavian expansion through raiding, trading and settling. Viking doesn't by any means describe ancient Scandinavians as a whole. It's far more complicated than that.
@@minnumseerrundBecause it indicates that most likely they have ancestors from both the Anglo saxon settlers and also Vikings in the Danelaw or following invasions. It is exciting to know you are descended from some of the most famous and successful groups in the world.
@@candacemaitland9450 Yeah following the Danelaw and then invasion by William the conqueror in 1066 the Vikings and Saxons began to mix into one group and the languages combined. A strange point is that the auto immune condition psoriasis is prevelent in England and Scotland and higher than most places in the world however Norway is the country with the highest rates and it is thought that these genes were brought from Scandinavia during the 900s along with various other traits, there is another condition affecting the tendons on one finger that can affect people with Scandinavian genes too. There is likely much more to discover but unfortunately lines of genetic research is not always encouraged or funded in this day and age as unfortunately there is a political move to create the everyone is the same scenario and genetic research that may also result in tests of intelligence or ability are seen as troublesome
@@wendyHew It's interesting, sure. But being excited or proud or happy about having 'a small amount of Swedish/Danish'? I dont get that. I'm Danish, as are both my parents and their parents. Does that make me excited when we're talking about Ragnarr, his sons and the early kings of Denmark? No. I'm interested in history in general and Nordic history specifically, but I dont get this obsession with ancestry. Fucken 0.5% of the world's male population is descended from Djengis Khan, doesnt make them modern day warlords.
I read somewhere a long time ago that Ivar the boneless was called that as he was so good a sailor he moved with the ship on the waves like he had no bones.
There are many depictions as to why he was called Ivar the boneless but there is no actual explanation as to why, I like what you said it kinda would make sense, he was like a serpent like jormungandr.
@@anthonygiangreco3621 I honestly can't remember where I read it from but it was when I done a project about how he was he first person to capture Dumbarton castle in Alt Clut (Strathclyde Scotland) back in the early 90's.
I often wonder how these Vikings who wanted nothing more than to become legendary figures what they would think of the fact that there names are not just known around the globe in their own time but now thousands of years later!
Frisia is still Here. The northern part of Holland/Netherlands which has NEVER been taken by no romans, Vikings, Spanjards nor Germans. It still has Its own language which is very similar but at the same time dinstinguished from the regular “Dutch” , and by law, is officially protected so that in the 0nly 1 out of all 12 “provincies” that make up the Netherlands together, you can choose to only talk read or write “Fries”, which is “Fryslan” even in courtcases for example. Such a Tiny country..an even much smaller part thats STILL the “provincie FRIESLAND” to this day…SUCH A GREAT HISTORY!!!🫡✊🏻🇪🇬

Been loving your videos as usual. I have a small request though, a video about William Wallace. Many people go with the Braveheart movie version but the latter has a lot of innacuracies with actual real events, and the the Scottish fight was an interesting read I had in history books
William Wallace was not the true Braveheart, sadly most don’t know the true history. The term Braveheart came from Robert the Bruce…… You can do the research yourselves, but the fact of the matter is is the movie depiction is totally inaccurate. Robert the Bruce spearheaded the term Braveheart, when he on his deathbed, asked the crusaders to cut out his heart, and to carry it to battle on a crusade, Which they did, whereas he was left on the battlefield and named the true Braveheart. I am actually a direct descendent of Robert the Bruce through his daughter Marjorie, who had a son named David… king David II of Scotland, what is the grandson of Robert the Bruce. King David’s great grandson, married into the Gordon clan by marriage. I would have to look up his name exactly.
I love these documentaries.. in an age long gone my family in the middle of all of this.. they were originally from the ireland area, women were "stolen" after a raid and a few years later the first baby of my family was born in Norway. We all had red or blonde hair except a few randoms with brown after coming to america. Family continued to marry other Scandinavian families until my mother who is dutch/german. Now all that is left of that original family is me. Ironically a couple years ago at 35 i learned i cant have kids... I would say im the last of my almost pure blood but that would be my father. I feel like I'm to blame for ending my bloodline and that hurts horribly because we were sooo damn proud of it..
If I see even one person walking around with a two weapon strapped to their back magically I'm going to freak out. As anyone knows you cannot draw a weapon like that go ahead and try. I did like a piece where kore' used his off hand to hold the blade itself and swing/block. Ivars awesome, dude was 19 playing a rock star role. Why in one scene do I see Ivar (of all people) also uselessly carrying around a a two handed sword on his back. Simple things like this would make it look more realistic as not every viking is some 6'4 275 lb man when a lot of them also had intestinal parasites and malnutrition. Great work on your video!

Love the Viking Saga's! Ragnor and his son's legacies were beyond words. NETFLIX offers all three of the BEST Viking Saga series now. The Vikings (from the History Channel), the Last Kingdom (BBC Production) and Vikings Valhalla (Netflix Original). Enjoy!
I love how the feuds in the Ragnarsson clan basically just amounts to “Imma slaughter hundreds of your men, you slaughter hundreds of mine, buy me a drink after & well call it even yeah?”
The Last Kingdom is a story *based* upon the life of Uhtred of Bamburgh, who died circa 1016. The TV show took this man's life story and put him in the time of Alfred the Great - over a hundred years earlier than when he actually lived. TV characters are so often based upon historical people, but with a few things changed to make the storyline more interesting. I hope you start off with a love for the show and then can bounce into the historical record to teach yourself about this historical man! I hope you're having a good day! Anna
You should make a video on Robin Hood or you could do a more recent video on a true warrior who stalked his enemies and made some very painful sacrifices just to make sure he killed his target Carlos Hatchcock a U.S Sniper during the Vietnam War, you could also do Sharp Shooters in the Revolutionary War or how the dif Indian Tribes Taught Americans, Brits, and the French Guerrilla Warfare. Some of the Soldiers started using the Tomahawk and would kill and Scalp Officers which had never been done before
They are the same person, it’s explained is his portion of the video, and because Halfdan was his actual name as king so thought I’d put it and to cause conversation in the comments of course ;)
I heard once or twice that the some of the son's of Ragnar May have just used ragnars name because of the fame it brought, and were not actually Ragnars son's. It is reports like this that make me always guessing who is who, and what is what. Oh if we could just find a conical of ragnar.
@@historyprofiles indeed, I could imagine how it might of went if you followed a ragnar descendant in to battle and the man proved himself unworthy. Blood eagle would be his least of problems lol. Thanks for a great history channel sir.
En la fotografía figuran los hijos de Ragnard Lothbrock, de izquierda a derecha: Ubbe, Sigurd, Ivar, Björn y Hvitserk, a este último le cambió el nombre, dice Halfdan, quien era el hermano del rey Harald; solo quería que lo supiera, para no confundir a quienes seguimos esta magnífica serie, muchas gracias y bendiciones.

Agreed!!! And the actor playing Ivar pulled it off so well. Really brought it to life!!! Such a talented actor
The Vikings series was a Canada Ireland co-production. It wasn't made in Hollywood.

do your homework next time We grew up on the Sagas most of the Norwegian and Swedish royalty come from Finehair Rothbrok born in a land that became Sweden it's south of the main lake there. died in battle in Wessex Rykill died off the coast of Ireland hit a rok and his father died same time Ragnar was captain of that boat and that is the Reagnar Rok Big lull in raids after that while they sorted out a new leader after all all the sons of Finehair wanrted to be the leader and the husbands of Finehairs daughter (the Yarls) also wanted to Heimskringla is £40 on e books read it!
@@simonbroberg969everything you just said was f****** stupid you need to learn history. Ragnar lothbrok for one was not swedish, and he didn't die in Mercia he died in Northumbria. Seriously I don't think you know anything about what you're talking about.
Copy and paste 😂
Bjorn Was definitely my favorite of his son's, But Ubba was a close close second. I'm so happy he got out and got his happy ending.
They are both strong leaders, however I like ubbe
I first heard about Vikings in the 70's and have been fascinated about them ever since.
Im Swedish and i live in Uppsala as you mention in your video. We have a places called Old Uppsala in Uppsala and there are 3 big hills that is called the kings hills after viking kings that are bured there. The have done excavations there and they found boatgraves whit human and animal remains and things in them from vikings. They belive its from the age of 900
Uppsala, a as always been my fave Swedish city. Hälsn. från en finlandssvensk här i Nordöst😊 Hoppas du besökt Finland? Om inte så välkommen!❤
Gravarna i Uppsala är från 500-talet. Från Vendeltiden. Vi vet inte mycket om den tiden men de vet med 100% säkerhet att dem är från 500-talet.

@@marieberoniuspeters definately have to go there!!!!! Thank you so much for watching and your comment!!!
😃👍... and I was baptized there 1969 (grew up in Storvreta, close to the old Upsala).
I can’t stop watching and learning about Ragnar Lothbrok and his sons, thanks for the video
Thank you so much for watching! A lot more Viking content on the channel!
What a nice treat on this morning of Odin.. outstanding.
Thank you so much Rolf!
Just finished watching "VIKINGS"... Excellent show... Also, very much enjoyed "THE LAST KINGDOM" which is the story of Uhtred of Babbemberg(sp?)... His story is very intriguing as well... The castle still stands today & is available for tours... Love the Viking History...
Bravo
the last kingdom was amazing, i recommend watching the movie if you havent.
Both amazing shows wow
Loved Vikings Valhalla too!! A must see. And Outlanders❤ can recommend the last Tzar too!! Love all these history based series so much!
You can get married at Bamburgh Castle, it's a licensed wedding venue! The only thing putting us off is that they can only do small receptions; we're trying to work around that because I'm so hoping to get married in a Northumbrian castle ❤
IMO Ivar was the best one. I had already been curious about what he’d be like as an adult when the series showed his birth and childhood, and I was also interested in the historical Ivar, but way Alex Høgh Andersen portrayed him in the series and the way he just became the character and gave his all to that performance blew me away and made Ivar even more iconic, especially coming from such a young actor, and as a fellow disabled person (although not physically) I could relate to Ivar’s anger and his struggles. No wonder he’s a fan favourite. LEGEND.
I've been waiting to watch this one all day I came home from work I showered had a chicken Caesar salad now it's time to hit play thank you again for all your great content this one's going to be epic
Thank you for watching!! It means a lot! I hope you enjoyed the video!!
No one needed to know that 🤔
I'm listening to this while playing Valheim - just like any normal 58 yo woman! Thanks for this it's absolutely awesome.
Awesome! I hope you enjoyed the video!
You're cool as hell lady 😎
In your defense Valheim is freaking awesome!
Atta girl!!
That's soo awesome ❤
It is inconceivable that being one of the most enduring civilizations, vanished for their internal conflicts. Ambition, greed and lust were their destruction. I love Vikings history.
Christianity was the end of the Viking era.
I would love a more accurate account of the history channels version of these tales...The options are endless as to how to tell these stories interestingly due to so many perspectives and time lines...Great video!
The History channel is sadly mostly conspiracy nonsense these days.
🌟Bravo...This is one of the Very Best I have watched. Excellent Work & Thank You.
Those vikings. Still making my life hell after a millenia. Great video, Ollie!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I watched Vikings and The Last Kingdom. I wanted to learn more about Vikings...found your channel...thank you bunches 😊. I don't believe EVERYTHING is told about them. I believe so much was buried/destroyed. Many people did not want these warriors to be remembered.
They are still called, The Church !
My great great grandfather was 6ft8 .his ancestors came to Virginia colony and over time they served in the Virginia Militia and married into other landed military families related to George Washington. They came to the new world from the York area of England. I have seen some freemasons believe George Washington was a direct male descendant of Half- Dan. Great video!

Never
You just like the sexy actor who played him
@Hannah_The_Elon_Jew what does Elon_Jew mean?
He is one of my ancestors. I descendant of King Christian I of Norway..
@@jturn103if he's your ancestor then how come you're such a loser?
I am of Scottish/ Highland descent. There is Pictish genealogy in my Caledonian bloodline. That means, I share kinship with Vikings. I found this recounting totally riveting. My grand fathers family spoke Scots Gaelic, Doric and Flemish. They were seamen of Orkney.
I'm learning Scot gaelic.. 😊
Thank you 💛. I watched the TV series a few years ago and I loved it. I was really sad when Ragnar was dumped into that pit full of snakes. He won my heart. I thought Beon's mother was Ragnar's first wife, and she was a great shield maiden and warrior. ???
Thank you 💛 very much for this excellent documentary about the Great Ragnar Lothbrok and his famous sons. One undeniable fact is that Ragnar produced one hell of a bloodline of greatness and fame. Thanks again!!!
Bjorn was, according to the Norse Sagas, the son of Aslaug and a younger brother of Ivar. Vikings, the TV series, changed some key information - making Bjorn Lagatha's son.
I love Lagatha's portrayal in the series- but she was the mother of Eric and Aegnor in the sagas.
There is No prof of Ragnars real life, most is from a saga
@motormule many historians have settled on "Ragnar Lodbrok"" being a composite of many people. He is known as "semi-legendary," because of the tales of his sons that are found in the English annals of history, the French records, Spain, Italy, and even Kiev .
@@borreliaetc like i just said, most of ragnar is myte, as long as there is No prof its only speculation
@motormule I'm not arguing the point you made here. That's the legendary part of "semi-legendary"
What I'm trying to point out is the brothers from the Great Heathen Army had a dad.
We have historical record of the Norsemen's many raids into Europe and Rus. There are records of Ivar, Bjorn, Sigurd, Halfdan, and Ubbe - sons of Ragnar.
Just because a guy maybe wasn't a hero twelve times over doesn't erase him.
Where was Uhtred in all this?? Great history lesson well done
He fought with the Danish vikings. Not with the norweigan/Swedish vikings
The real Uhtred the Bold lived 100 years after Alfred the Great. They never met, although Uhtred married Alfred's 3 times great-grand-daughter. I'm descended from all of them. Alfred is my 45th great grandfather. I'm also descended from Sigurd Snake in Eye and Blaeya, through their third daughter
I am blind in one eye and my pupil was white. My Auntie Vera was also blind in one eye. Is this Sigurd's legacy?
This is so cool!! From tracing my ancestry back I think I’m directly descended from Ivar the Boneless. I think from memory I’ve traced it from Australia. Back to England to France to Norway to Sweden. And I think it’s only 35 generations back
A Viking man can impress women by demonstrating how he takes his longship up a canal to deliver seeds which can be planted in fertile places.

While I was researching my family tree I went way way back and found out that my ancestors are Ragnar. I travelled to York to find out more information. I have enjoyed my journey learning of my family's history. This documentary was brilliant to watch I have shared this with my children. We will be going back to York soon as we don't live to far away from there and doing more research.
Ragnar didn't exist
Ragnar is a mythical person.

@@AceEverettI believe it got worse after his death but still 10/10

Same one of the most impressive thing for me is everywhere they went and they eventually settled into from Normandy England even the Normans in Sicily the varangian guard all were the best warriors and their generations all from Norse and or Viking stock
Great video👏🏻

Hey, the only reason William was able to break Ivar's curse was because he was a descendant of Vikings. So really he didn't break the curse, he ensured it 😁
Viking is not a race. It's a job.
@@cynth346correct. Viking is something you do! Not something you are .
No the name Viking is used in retrospect to refer to the Scandinavian race that existed in Norway and surrounding areas and then began to move outwards, it is also used to differentiate between other Germanic peoples in the area for example saxons, Angles ect. It did originally refer to a raider but has taken on the classification of a race as it is specific to that group. It is clear now that if someone talks of vikings they are not referring to random raiders but specifically Scandinavian people from a certain time period. People researching back will not say they have ancestors who are Norwegian and German when researching the 900s for example, they will state thay they have ancestors that were Vikings and Anglo Saxons as this gives more clarity on the persons involved and the group that race was part of. Of course in terms of race the Vikings, Saxons, Danes, Angles ect were all part of the Germanic race as are the groups in those areas today. A large percentage of British people have shared dna from William the conqueror who in turn was decended from Rollo the walker a "viking'
@@wendyHew Viking- the act of raiding/Vikingr- individual Norse raider/Vikingar- multiple Norse raiders. That being said, when referring to the Viking age, they're specifically referring to the age of Scandinavian expansion through raiding, trading and settling. Viking doesn't by any means describe ancient Scandinavians as a whole. It's far more complicated than that.
You never fail to disappoint. 💗
Thank you so much! It means a lot!
Can you do either Grutte Pier or Gráinne O'Malley somwhere in future? @@historyprofiles

Pretty much almost cried at this story...
I hope you enjoyed the video!
Ivar the Boneless has always been my favorite of Ragnars sons.
I had my DNA tested. My English ancestors had a small amount of Swedish/Danish. I'm very excited about it.
lol why
@@minnumseerrundBecause it indicates that most likely they have ancestors from both the Anglo saxon settlers and also Vikings in the Danelaw or following invasions. It is exciting to know you are descended from some of the most famous and successful groups in the world.
I feel like a lot of English people have viking ancestry
@@candacemaitland9450 Yeah following the Danelaw and then invasion by William the conqueror in 1066 the Vikings and Saxons began to mix into one group and the languages combined. A strange point is that the auto immune condition psoriasis is prevelent in England and Scotland and higher than most places in the world however Norway is the country with the highest rates and it is thought that these genes were brought from Scandinavia during the 900s along with various other traits, there is another condition affecting the tendons on one finger that can affect people with Scandinavian genes too. There is likely much more to discover but unfortunately lines of genetic research is not always encouraged or funded in this day and age as unfortunately there is a political move to create the everyone is the same scenario and genetic research that may also result in tests of intelligence or ability are seen as troublesome
@@wendyHew It's interesting, sure. But being excited or proud or happy about having 'a small amount of Swedish/Danish'? I dont get that. I'm Danish, as are both my parents and their parents. Does that make me excited when we're talking about Ragnarr, his sons and the early kings of Denmark? No. I'm interested in history in general and Nordic history specifically, but I dont get this obsession with ancestry. Fucken 0.5% of the world's male population is descended from Djengis Khan, doesnt make them modern day warlords.

I read somewhere a long time ago that Ivar the boneless was called that as he was so good a sailor he moved with the ship on the waves like he had no bones.
There are many depictions as to why he was called Ivar the boneless but there is no actual explanation as to why, I like what you said it kinda would make sense, he was like a serpent like jormungandr.
@@anthonygiangreco3621 I honestly can't remember where I read it from but it was when I done a project about how he was he first person to capture Dumbarton castle in Alt Clut (Strathclyde Scotland) back in the early 90's.
@@RighAlban that's cool
Far more believable then a disabled Viking conquering nations
I often wonder how these Vikings who wanted nothing more than to become legendary figures what they would think of the fact that there names are not just known around the globe in their own time but now thousands of years later!
Boneless/Beinløs also translates as legless. There is some hint in the text that they carried him around; this would then make sense.
Then how did he fight with his father in a pitched battle as a boy with the strengh of a man? Which this doc talks about in the beginning?
Legless means drunk in the UK
According to the article "Frisia, a Viking Graveyard", two sons of Ragnar Lothbrok were killed there. The sources are quoted too.
I believe one of them was Sigurd but not sure of the other . Interesting stuff!
Frisia is still Here. The northern part of Holland/Netherlands which has NEVER been taken by no romans, Vikings, Spanjards nor Germans. It still has
Its own language which is very similar but at the same time dinstinguished from the regular “Dutch” , and by law, is officially protected so that in the 0nly 1 out of all 12 “provincies” that make up the Netherlands together, you can choose to only talk read or write “Fries”, which is “Fryslan” even in courtcases for example. Such a Tiny country..an even much smaller part thats STILL the “provincie FRIESLAND” to this day…SUCH A GREAT HISTORY!!!🫡✊🏻🇪🇬
Hail the Great Heathen Army, hail the Great Sons of Ragnar!

Ragnar was really a great king, same with his sons , i so much love to watch this movie in full action.
Cracking video old bean! Many thanks.
Thank you for watching!
Been loving your videos as usual. I have a small request though, a video about William Wallace. Many people go with the Braveheart movie version but the latter has a lot of innacuracies with actual real events, and the the Scottish fight was an interesting read I had in history books
William Wallace was not the true Braveheart, sadly most don’t know the true history. The term Braveheart came from Robert the Bruce…… You can do the research yourselves, but the fact of the matter is is the movie depiction is totally inaccurate.
Robert the Bruce spearheaded the term Braveheart, when he on his deathbed, asked the crusaders to cut out his heart, and to carry it to battle on a crusade, Which they did, whereas he was left on the battlefield and named the true Braveheart.
I am actually a direct descendent of Robert the Bruce through his daughter Marjorie, who had a son named David… king David II of Scotland, what is the grandson of Robert the Bruce. King David’s great grandson, married into the Gordon clan by marriage. I would have to look up his name exactly.
Some of the film was taken from a book called The Lion of Ireland it is about Brian Boru
I love these documentaries.. in an age long gone my family in the middle of all of this.. they were originally from the ireland area, women were "stolen" after a raid and a few years later the first baby of my family was born in Norway. We all had red or blonde hair except a few randoms with brown after coming to america. Family continued to marry other Scandinavian families until my mother who is dutch/german. Now all that is left of that original family is me. Ironically a couple years ago at 35 i learned i cant have kids... I would say im the last of my almost pure blood but that would be my father. I feel like I'm to blame for ending my bloodline and that hurts horribly because we were sooo damn proud of it..
The 3 interlock triangles shown on the blood eagle rock carving... what does it mean?
It is called a Vuknot, and indicated the wearer’s willingness to join Odin at any time (die in battle).🖤🇨🇦
Love this history.
The McSweeney clan descended from the Uá Imair (the House of Ivar) and my haplogroup is I1, which is as Scandinavian as it gets.
My fav character was Floki. That nervous laugh was endearing.
I also like how Loki is a representation of mischief… not evil.. big difference in theological terms
Loki is a God of change, which most men fear. His mischief always brought change and upheaval, and also opportunity.🖤🇨🇦
If I see even one person walking around with a two weapon strapped to their back magically I'm going to freak out. As anyone knows you cannot draw a weapon like that go ahead and try. I did like a piece where kore' used his off hand to hold the blade itself and swing/block. Ivars awesome, dude was 19 playing a rock star role. Why in one scene do I see Ivar (of all people) also uselessly carrying around a a two handed sword on his back. Simple things like this would make it look more realistic as not every viking is some 6'4 275 lb man when a lot of them also had intestinal parasites and malnutrition. Great work on your video!
There were a lot of names they mentioned so how many sons did he have all together
There was many shield 🛡️🛡️ maidens one says only 1 was found. I say no no no thousand of bones were never dna 🧬 tested for the strong bravest shield 🛡️🛡️ maidens there was ❤❤
Very interesting
I love how all of the sons have their own distinct haircuts
Like the vids interest were do you get you're information from? Thanks
Love the Viking Saga's!
Ragnor and his son's legacies were beyond words.
NETFLIX offers all three of the BEST Viking Saga series now.
The Vikings (from the History Channel), the Last Kingdom (BBC Production) and Vikings Valhalla (Netflix Original).
Enjoy!
I love how the feuds in the Ragnarsson clan basically just amounts to “Imma slaughter hundreds of your men, you slaughter hundreds of mine, buy me a drink after & well call it even yeah?”
If only they made Ivar the oldest in the show, his story would’ve been even better
What about ultred Ragnarson the true lord of bebbanburg
The Last Kingdom is a story *based* upon the life of Uhtred of Bamburgh, who died circa 1016.
The TV show took this man's life story and put him in the time of Alfred the Great - over a hundred years earlier than when he actually lived.
TV characters are so often based upon historical people, but with a few things changed to make the storyline more interesting.
I hope you start off with a love for the show and then can bounce into the historical record to teach yourself about this historical man!
I hope you're having a good day!
Anna
I love to watch it. 🥰
You should make a video on Robin Hood or you could do a more recent video on a true warrior who stalked his enemies and made some very painful sacrifices just to make sure he killed his target Carlos Hatchcock a U.S Sniper during the Vietnam War, you could also do Sharp Shooters in the Revolutionary War or how the dif Indian Tribes Taught Americans, Brits, and the French Guerrilla Warfare. Some of the Soldiers started using the Tomahawk and would kill and Scalp Officers which had never been done before
*Guerrilla. Because gorillas are animals, and I know irregular militaries didn't invent them.
I love the old story's of my great forefathers
Nice!
Why does the thumbnail said Halfdan over Hvitserk’s picture?
They are the same person, it’s explained is his portion of the video, and because Halfdan was his actual name as king so thought I’d put it and to cause conversation in the comments of course ;)
I know I said that too
I heard once or twice that the some of the son's of Ragnar May have just used ragnars name because of the fame it brought, and were not actually Ragnars son's. It is reports like this that make me always guessing who is who, and what is what. Oh if we could just find a conical of ragnar.
I have also heard that! Would have been a good way to attract warriors! Although you probably would have had to been a savage warrior to pull it off!
@@historyprofiles indeed, I could imagine how it might of went if you followed a ragnar descendant in to battle and the man proved himself unworthy. Blood eagle would be his least of problems lol.
Thanks for a great history channel sir.
Ragnar was my 44x grandfather. Unfortunately no one knows how he died. The snake story was made up by King Aella.
Your so many times great uncles (Ivar and halfdan) were so hot, they look like models. Great genetics!
well nobody know if Ragnar even lived or who he was , so I'm impressed you know he was your 44x grandfather
Half dan i wont let you stand alone. I refer to myself as half and half. I laugh everytime i fix my coffee.
Did I miss something?? How did Hvitserk get the name Halfdan?
My question too
Hvitserk and hafdan are two separate people? Aren't they
@@realityhurts8697 exactly. Totally different people.
Hvitserk means whiteshirt so it's probably a nickname
You are right and the Thumbnail is wrong!
So I really enjoy all the stories involving Ragnar. Is there any undeniable proof that he was a real person?
no
Back when I as in grad school I read the sagas in Old Norse. I can’t do that anymore.
Wasn't The Great Heathens Army also known as The Great Horde of 865?
En la fotografía figuran los hijos de Ragnard Lothbrock, de izquierda a derecha: Ubbe, Sigurd, Ivar, Björn y Hvitserk, a este último le cambió el nombre, dice Halfdan, quien era el hermano del rey Harald; solo quería que lo supiera, para no confundir a quienes seguimos esta magnífica serie, muchas gracias y bendiciones.
