"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"

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

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.

@Karl Childers Some grave with a lad named bjorn, it sounded so kool as a king for a show, no? and it doesn't prove anything about a viking "king" by the way, that never existed in the first place. As for Danemark itself, it was founded by the king of the Frank and First Holy Roman Emperor, Charlemagne. Evidence being, it's spelled DANEMARK, as the frozen march of the Danes it always has bin. Not "Denmark" out of any kind of blue deprived of instructed French perspective. And I know the Nords better than you. Because 1) You quite literally adressing the present count of Champagne, right now. 2) Danes exist as a civilization honored by the Franks thank to the alleged end of one single man. His name was Oger the Dane, Charlemagne most single and deadly Senechal de France there ever was. ... That's also why the ACTUAL founder of the danes is also celebrated as HOGIER, the Jack of Spades, as codified in the ducal cards to celebrate his historical victory against lesser beings in 1453. History paid the big price though, as the byzantine empire dropped it the very same year. Now, do you feel like needing more of MYtory? Mmmh? And when I say wikia, I'm in "oui, qui a" as I tend to spit in glitch my own weight, as I see feet, from time to time. Me lad. Aye, sole tea. Don't you ever try do diminish the major influence France (hence the word "franchise") had on any "kind of" civilization your little brain could ever muster, me lad.

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)

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.

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
