I've a 5 year old son and I tell him a bed time story about Ivar the boneless atleast once a week, my version is that he was born weak and couldn't walk so he was picked on by the other stronger boys so because he couldn't beat them in a fight he used his time to learn, educate himself and think of ways to win. I tell him that he became so smart that he was able to take over the whole world by using his intelligence in battle and everyone especially his bullies were scared of him. It may not be accurate but he loves the story & I think it's a fun way of teaching him to use his brain to overcome problems. 😎

Shane , I am NOBODY to give parenting advice man. You do what you feel helps your son to be the best man he can be!!! Go for it. But bro, Ivar????? That is a sociopath. Teach him anything you want ,and if he is being bullied,teach him how to defend himself,beside,of course teach him to use his mind !! Absoloutly man,I think you love your son more than the world itself. That much is evident. Jeez my man, tell him how to be like Ragnar, if anything!!! Ragnar outwitted EVERYONE and had a mind that sought to better his people ,AND stand up and take care of buisness, like Jarl Bord and King Horik. Look at he played Horik like a fiddle and drew him in ,and turned the tables on him...from luring him in to his own lair ,then taking him OUT. He even honored the son of a bitches request to spare his son, where he could easily have killed. Ivar is a sociopath who cares for nobody at all and only does what is to his liking. Just saying, you are smarter than that man. You cherish your young boy,and I hopre he is not having a rough time with bullies. But Ivar IS A BULLY!!! Best of luck to ya, and your son...honestly man.

The kid who plays Ivar, Alex Høgh, is friggin' amazing and deserves an Emmy, a Golden Globe and whatever other peer awards he could get. I predict a huge career for this extremely talented, and beautiful, young man.

In the hinterlands of the Oslofjord here in Norway being boneless means that you are quiet as a ghost, you can sneak up on people without them noticing you, as if your legs dont touch the ground and make noise. Like when someone is sitting at a desk doing their thing and suddenly become aware that a family member or a friend suddenly are inches away from them, they get startled and call him/her boneless. Still used today. That would also be a good trait for a waring leader, to be able to sneak up on the enemies without them noticing before it was to late. Maneuver warfare.

My surname is McIvor - I live beside Lough Neagh in Co Derry Ireland - visited Denmark - beautiful place and cool people - I thought Ivar was from proto-Danish meaning archer or bow warrior - also lots of bows were made using bone and it's possible that he may have used a different type of bow and arrow and hence the name Boneless - my brother lives in America now and he met a lady who was into Santa Ria and she told him that a Viking spirit was looking after him - he asked what he looked like and was told that the person/spirit behind him looked like a 9 foot tall scary as feck Viking - definitely a lot of Viking aggression still in my family bloodline - kinda like violence for fun 😂

To others' comments about boneless translating to ghost, many ancient words for unexplained events were connected to ghosts, such as poltergeist, or "rumbling ghost," etc. It makes sense that a stealthy warrior would also be connected to the same. Even in the Civil War, a famous commander known for his ability to go undetected was called "Grey Ghost."

Epic. Thanks for setting the scene so thoroughly. The history of that area of Britain was unknown to me, and the prologue gave the rest of the episode the needed context.

Also the fact that their is a story about a common thief who got famous for a fight with a sheriff over a woman(called Marion) and who was famous for being generous to the poor and associated with a bow ad arrow.

Thing is, we came suddenly out of an era in which there was no terminology for altercation. For 13,500 years before Babylon and Israel were conceived, the population practiced soul ascension as followers of Horus/Heru, and taught it as science in the Irish/Druid universities as part of the higher education. They were opposed to the religious fanaticism that was the subject of detailed comment of the Amorite king Og of 60 cities of Bashan in the lost book of King Og. The king had allied the giants against this new state religion being forced on them and had to learn the arts of war, also from the invaders. Originally the city of UR had built a 200 km long defensive wall, not even enclosing the city. The Babylonian Nimrods had simply walked around it. In ancient times the ruling was by acclamation, {EDIT to add that the term for ruling is "guiding" not any kind of absolutism, and it was a matriarchal society] and sending out for a new generic "foreign ruler" in absence of one was not uncommon. Co-operation and giving the others the benefit of the doubt left us vulnerable to abuse. [EDIT the giants were protecting among other things their capital city Petra, the original Mecca of studies that the old kingdom Mosques point to].

I spent a lot of money on some of the best books on the subject including getting my hands on a copy of the real Heimskringla. You see, I was told by my dad I should study history.. so I did.. My great great grandad was king of Sweden, my great grandad, the kings son, was given a couple of titles, and asked to leave Sweden, as Gusef 5th, didn't marry our great great grandmother... Anyway, Gustaf was supposed to be given the title "King of Norway" as well as Sweden (He got title king of Finland back, but just for a few years.) Now the new King of Norway (1903) Carl Hakkon claimed to be of the line that goes all the way back to Finehair, and indeed, the name Haakkon is written there by Snorri. King of Sweden can also claim to go back that far and same Finehair, but, the surname is not one of those listed. King of Norway, Cnut married a Swedish princess so, that's how come the Norwegians got the Swedish crown, The main king had been in so long in Sweden, they didn't think him Norwegian enough, so that was one of the reason they gave Hakkon the crown instead. Hope you can understand all that... Game of Thrones for real There were quite a lot of names most of the famous ones are Finehairs sons. That is why they were remembered. Ironside was probably given to Ragnar Rothbrok as fostri, to teach him and his half brother how to be men, after all, Finehair didn't have time for them having to rule and having all the children, It was just the way it was done back then. He even gave one to the pope it is said.. He told the Pope, kill him if you wish, It matters no, I have plenty more.. As it goes, King Alfred was also Fostri of the pope at the time

Im deeply impressed with your work. About the name "boneless". I really dont believe that Ivar the boneless had any problems with his feet as portrayed in the HBO show Vikings. As a Norwegian speaker, I have an additional theory around the meaning of the name Ivar the "boneless"; My grandparents and great grandparents and so on, all used the word "beinlaus" (boneless) in reference to a ghost. For example if there was a strange sound in the attic, my grandmother would say "oh dont worry, its just old beinlaus/boneless".... It wouldnt be the only norse/norwegian word that survived a millennium. After all the word "beinlaus/boneless" is a description from the snorri sagas isnt it? Or am I wrong? Is it mentioned anywhere else?

I read a part of the Saga of Ragnar Lothbrok etc. where Ivar says something along the lines of "though my hands may be weak..." (I could be horrifically wrong and I recognize it is a distant retelling of oral traditions) and I always took that as some sort of brittle bone disease. That's my personal theory though I have to do more research. There is also of course the crude theory that he wasn't very 'sexually driven' but I don't know much about that theory. (All of the above is from memory, please take everything with a grain of salt)

The translation of historic words, often, is too literal and do not translate the cultural meaning of the time. Much is lost in attempting to bring the words to modern English, and the context often lost in lieu of the translators bias. Thank you for your insight. In my experience, what you've shared is a far more likely context. That Ivar was like a ghost. A warrior who should not be alive. Ghost like in his abilities to do as others failed to do, despite his weaknesses that would stop most men. An oral history passed down in a manner to stir the emotions and intrigue. His story would have been a fantastical, impossible tale, of strength and envy, with so much of the truth excluded and exaggerated. Scribes and story tellers were the 'social media' of the day.

Really impressive work, even more so as a one man show. For folks who haven't dabbled in audio or video production, there is a lot of work that goes into to creating a semi-professional finished work like this documentary. BTW, labeling it semi-professional is fully intended as a complement not an insult. A lot of the variables that distinguish semi-pro from amateur work will go unnoticed by a viewer... when they're done right (like the excellent audio balance/EQ and tasteful music transitions found in this video). This time-period is fascinating. My thirst to learn more about my ancestry is unquenchable and I'm always searching for information tied to the Isle of Skye. It doesn't seem to get that much airtime in programs/articles about the Viking Age, maybe because it isn't that well tied to famous historical figures that capture our imagination. A while back I read an article stating less than 15% of native Britons have what they termed the "Viking Gene". It broke out areas in Great Britain where this gene is more prevalent and Skye was pretty high on the list. If anyone has insight to offer on the role/significance/cultural integration of the Isle of Skye during this period, I thank you in advance.

Great, Pete! A true labor of love. I especially enjoy your use of educated vocabulary.

Regarding the “Boneless” condition of Ivar, I would relate it to the EHLERS-DANLOS syndrome which deals with genetic disorders involving bone and cartilage tissues due to the anomalies with collagen. I remember in my high school times to have witnessed EHLERS-DANLOS symptoms on a colleague when he could voluntarily bend his 10 fingers in such manner that every phalanx looked sagged downwards featuring a catenary arc shape. Also, his was able to pinch his skin and stretch it to a certain extent that seemed made of super-elastic rubber. On the other hand, two months ago, an ex-Nurse from Boston Alli Rae showed in social networks how can she bend her thumbs in a 90- degree angle that also meet less acute EHLERS-DANLOS criteria, fortunately. I think Ivar could have suffered in some degree the E.D syndrome

Fantastic channel and very deep, rich and engaging content. Thank you! Love experiencing content which the creator clearly has a passion for!

I just love this Channel❤ Thank you for your work. 😀🙏

This videos on this channel gives me good vibes of the older documentaries I watched in school. Not some of the shitty tv documentaries either. These ones are just great! So informational and well told, I can’t get enough of them. I’ll eventually watch them all, and continue to rewatch them until I know I’m an expert lol

Awesome documentary thank you greatly for the long research. God Bless

Been waiting for this one..Tnx!

Pete. Awesome voice and narration of all of your presentations. Thank you.

Only just found your channel, and it's fantastic...thank you for your hard work. The depth of knowledge and style is one that appears to have a solid production team, rather than just you...keep it up please. Take care, Phil

This is a wonderful presentation. Delving into war history always sparks the primal adventurous spirit. New subscriber here! Thank you and keep em coming!!

I absolutely love your videos. I watch them on a regular basis.

Aaaaaaahhh History...I Love it!..Especially when listening to a Great Narrator !.....I enjoyed this...New subscriber!

I like the Vikings show on The History Channel as entertainment but it is frustrating that it has so many historical inaccuracies. Have you ever seen a documentary titled The Dark Ages? Its segment on Vikings focused quite a bit on Ivar.

History and Headlines The problem is, people watch the show with the mindset of a documentary ( historically accuracy ), they don’t realize it’s a *SHOW* not a *DOCUMENTARY* just names, places, etc are taken as motivation to create a storyline. If you watch the show as a *SHOW* it’ll prob be in your top 10.

Even when the show seemed to slow down or the story lines seemed to lose a little direction , after Ragnar's death, I stayed with the series because I was invested in seeing how the characters and events might play out. Maybe my two favorite characters are Ivar, because he makes you mad with his viciousness and Floki who, to me, was the most compelling and most evolved individual, as the series progressed. The writers seemed to had dropped the ball on Floki's character when he was dropped on the island. Have a good day all.

Vikings ( series) is the most inaccurate load of nonsense on TV If written 50 or more years ago I could forgive the writer But listening to him in interviews he actually believes hes ri about everything & it's all totally factual. When the interviewer asked about Floki was supposed to have invented a new type of ship , when its exactly the same as Saxon ships 400 years earlier, Hirst the writer admitted not everything is accurate, lol The clothing the stories it's all a mess The last kingdom is the opposite, very well researched historically accurate (& things that arnt they explain why they changed what they did , they didn't pretend everything is fact when some things wont be , bc its entertainment & not a documentary, but majority is accurate except for the character uhtred.

The Ui Imair. The House of Ivarr. The Crovan Dynasty. Ivarr was one of the greatest warriors to have ever come out of Denmark. And the greatest King of the Norse-Gaels and Hiberno-Danes who has ever lived.

Love these kind of videos. Good work.

Thank you for an excellent video! Your careful use of the sources sets your work apart from other vids on KZread. One earlier commenter refers to Ivar (Imar) as a sociopath.,As Shippey points out in "Laughing Shall I Die," to a true *vikingr* the two things that mattered most were reputation and the manner of one's dying. Thus what appears in the 21st century as sociopathic or even psychopathic behavior may well have been perfectly well-adjusted by 9th century *vikingr* standards (which I'm by no means defending). In any case, as a 33 times great grandson of Ivar, I can happily report that whatever psycho- or socio- pathological tendencies he had do not seem to have come down to me, though I do occasionally get a little aggravated in traffic.

Many assume that Ivar suffered from brittle bone syndrome because he was called "The Boneless". I think it was equally possible that Ivar was called "Boneless" because he was very flexible and acrobatic. The sagas remarked on Ivar's large size.. If he was as big as a bear, it would have been difficult for his warriors to carry him into battle on a shield. Because he fathered several children, his nickname did not refer to reproductive ability. It is possible that Ivar known as “the Hated" descriptor in Latin was Exosus which means without bones. Ivar was known as a brillant military strategist,

Brilliant. Not only could I see the History, I could also see the Inspiration of Tolkien in his attempts to present Britain with a more romantic understanding of Itself. Bravo.

Latin Exos is translated to boneless but Latin Exosum is translated as "Feared" or "Disliked". You did not permanent records in that time period except in Latin. It was common in the Dark Ages for writers to cut words short, remember these all had to be hand written on parchment. Thus his name "Boneless" in my mind was a mistranslation of the Latin word for Feared. Ivar was feared, thus I believe that was want Ivar was called when he lived. That is how it was written in Latin, but someone dropped the UM either by mistake or that was the practice of the writer. Such practice were common in the Dark Ages by the clerical writers. Ivar the feared makes more sense then Ivar the Boneless. Remember the records we have are English records. Please note um was a Latin ending showing it referred to something single, it is replaced by a "a" when it refers to more then one. The Viking records we have are derived also from Latin Records. Latin was how records were kept in the Dark Ages, not in any local languages. You only start to see local languages after 1000 AD as linen paper was imported from Egypt and later Spain. England did not make any Linen paper till the 1500s, yes England had the printing press before it could make its own linen paper (by the 1400s, Germany could produce Linen paper). The more I look at this and remember my Latin and history it makes me think he was called Ivar the Feared, nor Ivar the Boneless.

If so it is probably like Roman soldiers calling their general Caesar 'The Bald Whoremaster'. To me it means his men calling him Ivar The (Swinging?) Dick.

Just reality shows now. Sad

I find it humbling that even a thousand years after his death, we are still talking of Ivar The Boneless and his impact on the histories of Britain and Ireland alike. However he may have lived, his actions are echoing through time to shape our lives into modern day. I am sure that he smiles in the Afterlife, looking down at the world (though he is likely upset the Danes and Norwegians don't rule the British Isles anymore).
