who is ragnar
Ragnar Lothbrock - Legendary Viking Leader. As featured in the History Channel series Vikings, is a farmer who believes there is land west of Iceland. He is credited with the first raids on England. The TV series clearly places Ragnar in Norway based on the geography shown, and mixes elements of history and myth. In fact, Lothbrock is a legendary Vikings figure who almost certainly existed, although the Ragnar in the Viking Sagas may be based on more than one actual person. He is the scourge of England and France. One highly probably link is to the real life character Ragnall. Ragnar's death has been stated as occuring in 840 or 865.
