The Story of Hvitserk it set at the height of Viking age in the 9th century. During this time the Norsemen were raiding lands indiscriminately, England, Paris, the Mediterranean the list goes on; no lands were safe from their wrath. Hvitserk was a key player during the time of the Great Heathen army and their conquest of most of England. However, there is one issue with the tale of Hvitserk, many sources mention a son of Ragnar named Halfdan who accompanied his brothers to England. Due to Halfdan and Hvitserk not being mentioned in any of the same sources, many historians believe that they are the same person and that Hvitserk was perhaps the nickname of Halfdan. Regardless, we will explore all sources regarding the life of Hvitserk and Halfdan assuming they were indeed the same person.

They really disrespected him on vikings
More Norse and Viking history, hell yeah. Much appreciated.
So happy to have seen all the videos of all the sons of Ragnar Lothbrok. Hvitserk was my fav charcter in vikings. Happy to learn the actual history of him.
Halfdan Hvistek was the Same man in all three Stories, was indeed a legend.
Another amazing video from HP, I wish I could ve witnessed that period of time. Thanks for the upload.
I will never understand why the show vikings didnt show hvitserk as the legend he was.
Loved this narration.
Very insightful!!
Thank you for another epic Vikings story. As always great sound and narration. I enjoyed very much!
Another really great video, very interesting that some Scholars believe that Halfdan and Hvitserk were the same person, I can see that maybe they were
love all of your stuff man a simple touch that would go really far is i dont know if youve seen Thoughty2 hes another history type youtuber but he has these simple animations that show what hes talking about should look into it looks relatively simple
I'm always looking forward to your video's on Ragnar Lothbrok and his sons. Are you going to make a video about Halfdan as well?
Raganr lothbrok most likely had so many kids he couldn't keep count claiming only the ones who he had close relationships with there mothers or claiming the sons who made a name for themselves
They made him Ivar's puppet brother in the show. Also I din't know that even the terrifying vikings knew something about Rome, and were slightly afraid of it, though the romans have had fallen severals centuries before the viking era.
Another amazing video . I think Halfdan was his name & hvitserk his nickname
The show viking was truly beautiful and amazing but so many characters have been shamed and dishonored most were made like the were weak and betrayal men. I wish vikings make a true historical like this make every man who was worth being spoke of appear and do what they exactly did on the show
Gee that would have been a terrible time to have lived.
So there was a bishop heahmund i might of misspelled it his character in vikings was awesome
Great vid these r my peeps.
What of Ragnar Lodhbrok's Son.....Ubbi Ragnarsson ?.......Who'm had campaigned around East Anglia
