Historical Sources for the Sons of Ragnar

Ragnar Lothbrok is a legendary Viking, credited with amazing feats such as slaying a serpent for the hand of his first wife and is said to have met his death in a pit of snakes in Northumbria. While his existence has never been confirmed, many of his sons can be verified as actual historical figures. Today we talk about some of the sources which mention them.

How the little piggies will grunt when they hear how the old boar suffered!
