NOTE (June 2018): the text below has not been modified to reflect recent changes to this profile, namely that it now conforms more closely to the sagas with a completely separate tree having been created based on Saxo's Gesta Danorum and another based on Landnamok. See profiles Ragnar "Lodbrog", {Gesta Danorum} and Ragnar Loðbrók, {Landnámabók}
The legendary Ragnar Sigurdson Lothbrok is a mythical viking primarily depicted by the two sagas Ragnar’s Tale and The Tale of Ragnar’s Sons.
Ragnar is depicted as a viking king of Denmark and Sweden who marries at a young age, is widowed and then remarries, having at least two sons with his first wife and five with his second. Book IX of Gesta Danorum describes an earlier marriage than the sagas (giving Ragnar three wives in total with another son and two unnamed daughters) as well as Ragnar having children with women other than his wives.
The first half of the sagas are situated in Scandinavia and deal firstly with Ragnar’s marriages and the deaths of his older sons in battle, including the associated revenge of those deaths. As Scandinavia in this time period was not literate there are no historical records to either support or negate these stories.
The later parts of the sagas and Saxo’s work detail Ragnar’s exploits raiding England and mainland Europe, then Ragnar’s death in England and his sons' revenge attack against King Ælla of Northumbria (presented as the initial objective of the invasion of England in 865 by the Great Heathen Army). Ragnar’s sons by his second marriage all go on to be famous vikings themselves and in some cases kings, dominating Scandinavia and impacting on European affairs for the remainder of the century, as well as spawning several royal dynasties.
With the second portion of the stories taking place in Christian Europe it is possible to correlate some of the facts of the stories with written accounts of the time, notably the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Evidence from the Chronicle pertains more to Ragnar’s sons than Ragnar himself and are circumstantial in nature so that they cannot be taken as a verification that the sagas are factual records of historical events, rather only that portions of the sagas’ stories seem to reflect historical events.
Data Justifications and Merging Guide
Name
The early sources do not use the names Ragnar and Lothbrok in combination to refer to a single person. The first recorded instance of the names being so used is Ari Þorgilsson’s reference to Ívarr Ragnarssonr loðbrókar in his Íslendingabók, written between 1120 and 1133. As a common name used in popular culture Ragnar Lodbrok Sigurdson is used for this profile but historically there is a strong argument that Ragnar and Lodbrok were husband and wife. Indeed, if the origins of the legendary Ragnar lie with the Danish viking Reginheri there is no particular reason to accept as accurate the patronym Sigurdson.
Lothbrok
The sagas and Saxo relate Ragnar’s famous nickname “Hairy-Breeches” to his exploits in slaying a giant serpent(s) to rescue his first (or second) wife. However, in their earliest forms the sagas do not use the names Ragnar and Lothbrok in combination, rather his sons are referred to in different portions of the saga as the “sons of Ragnar” and “the sons of Lothbrok”. Taken in combination, the form of spelling used for Lothbrok indicates that it is a feminine name. This has been taken by academics to suggest that Loðbróka was actually Ragnar’s wife and that the two names were conflated in later versions of the story.
Death Date
While later texts describe the Great Heathen Army as a revenge attack, which would imply it taking place soon after Ragnar’s death, the contemporary chronicles do not make this connection. As a latest date this would set Ragnar’s death to before 865.
Ragnar is often linked historically to Reginherus / Reginheri, a jarl at the court of Danish king Horik I who raided Paris in 845 and reportedly died not long after. As the strongest candidate for a historical Ragnar, this has been used as the lower limit for an estimated date range.
Death Location
The sagas and early English sources place Ragnar’s death in Northumbria, specifically in a snakepit. Later English sources relocate the murder to East Anglia with the murderer variously being King Edmund or a man named Berne. Reginheri death location is not specifically detailed but contemporary Frankish reports indicate that he died shortly after returning to the court of King Horik, suggesting a death location in Denmark.
Birth Date
With a death between 845 and 865 and at least two marriages and seven children to account for (three and nine respectively, according to Saxo) a birth date before 795 seems to be the strongest statement that can be made with a lower limit of 765, making him 80 years old as an absolute maximum if he died in 845.
Birth Location
Sweden or Denmark are the two logical locations for his birth, although technically neither nation existed in the 700s.
The legendary king Ragnar of the sagas and other writings seems most closely associated with Denmark. Reginheri as a Danish viking could logically be assumed to have been born in Denmark (though by no means is this proof).
Wives
The sagas are traditionally interpreted as naming two wives, Thora and Aslaug.
Saxo names three: Lagertha, then Thora, then Aslaug, and also names Swanloga as a mother of three of Ragnar’s sons without. She is mentioned as his wife,j when she dies of a plag.
Further, Saxo also records Ragnar having at least one child (Ubbe) with the daughter of Esbern / Hesbernus.
Daughters
Annals of St Neots, an eleventh- or twelfth-century source, describe Ubba and Ivar as sons of Ragnar with three unnamed sisters.
Saxo states that with his first wife, Lagertha, Ragnar has a son and two unnamed daughters.
The Icelandic Landnámabók records an original settler as claiming to be the son of "Åløf, a daughter of Ragnar Lodbrog" which seemingly confirms the account of Saxo."
All unnamed profiles purporting to be of Ragnar’s daughters have been merged into one : “Unconfirmed daughter(s) of Ragnar Lothbrok” with further details in the About section of that profile.
Sons
Inwære, Healfdene, Hubba, Berno and Sigifridus (Ivar, Halfdan, Ubba, Bjorn and Sigfrid) are historical vikings who can be historically argued to be sons of Reginheri and Loðbróka
The saga Ragnar’s Tale names Hvítserkr and Rögnvaldr as his sons but none of the contemporary sources mention them as such. It has been theorized that historically Rögnvaldr most likely was actually a grandson of the historical Ivar. Saxo names Ragnald, Hwitserk, and Erik as Ragnar’s sons by a woman named Swanloga. Whether Ragnald here represents the Rögnvaldr in the saga is unclear as the mothers seem to be different women, Saxo’s Erik may be the saga’s Eric / Eirik and certainly Hwitserk would seem to equate with Hvítserkr, suggesting that Swanloga might be another name for Aslaug.
The saga Ragnar’s Tale also names two other sons to Ragnar with his first wife Thora, Eric and Agnar. Saxo names these sons of Thora as Radbard and Dunwat. Contemporary sources do not mention these men, which could purely relate to the fact that their exploits, as described in the sagas, are restricted to Scandinavia.
Beyond these nine sons later sources associate various vikings with Ragnar, either by describing them as his sons or linking them as brothers to one or another of the named sons. Profiles for these sons have been merged into one : “Unconfirmed son(s) of Ragnar Lothbrok” with further details in the About section of that profile.
Father
The sagas and contemporary sources name Ragnar's father as Sigurd Hring
Mother
The Skjöldunga saga and the Sögubrot af nokkrum fornkonungum both name Alfhild, the daughter of king Alf of Alfheim, as Ragnar's mother
Siblings
No source names brothers or sisters for Ragnar.

Ragnar Lodbrok (nórdico antiguo: Ragnarr Loðbrók Sigurdsson) fue un rey legendario de Noruega, Suecia y Dinamarca que reinó en el siglo IX. Según el cronista danés Saxo Grammaticus, Ragnar pertenecía a la línea real de la casa de los Ynglings. De acuerdo a estas crónicas y las sagas islandesas, se le considera hijo de Sigurd Ring, rey de Suecia y conquistador de Dinamarca, y su consorte Alfhild Gandolfsdatter (n. 710), hija de Gandalf Alfgeirsson. No hay acuerdo sobre cuál era la capital de sus dominios, ni en qué país residía normalmente.1
A pesar de aparecer como un héroe local, no hay muchas biografías suyas, apenas se pueden hallar algunas menciones en las sagas. La datación de su reinado es incierta: algunas fuentes lo sitúan entre 750 y 794, otras de 860 a 865 y otras más probables entre 835 y su muerte en 865. Tampoco se sabe si fue reconocido como rey durante todo ese tiempo.23

Vida
Ilustración de Las Crónicas de Núremberg.
Ragnar era pagano devoto y, de acuerdo a las leyendas nórdicas, pretendía ser descendiente del dios Odín. Por ello no tenía reparos en atacar a las ciudades cristianas en fiestas sagradas (de hecho lo prefería, pues la sorpresa era mayor y los soldados solían estar en el templo). Se le ha vinculado en matrimonio con dos famosas guerreras skjaldmö, Lathgertha en Gesta Danorum, y la reina Aslaug (Aslög), la hija de Sigurd y Brynhildr, según la saga Völsunga.
Historicidad
La historicidad de la vida de Ragnar, solo parcialmente en lugares y tiempos cubiertos por las páginas de la historia, no es muy clara. En su comentario a la Gesta Danorum de Saxo Grammaticus, Hilda Ellis Davidson señala los notorios esfuerzos de Saxo en el libro IX de la Gesta por consolidar, bajo el reinado de Ragnar, diversos eventos e historias confusas, y en ocasiones contradictorias, de las que tenía conocimiento. Es por ello que muchos actos atribuidos a Ragnar en la Gesta pueden asociarse, por medio de diversas fuentes, con varias figuras diversas, algunas de las cuales presentan hoy más sentido en términos históricos. Entre estos candidatos a configurar el Ragnar histórico se incluye a:
el Rey Horik I (muerto en 854 d. C.)
el Rey Reginfrid (muerto en 814 d. C.)
un rey que dominó parte de Dinamarca y entró en conflicto con Harald Klak
un líder llamado Reginherus, quien orquestó el Sitio de París (845)
Ragnall ua Ímair, de los Anales irlandeses, y
el padre del vikingo que invadió Inglaterra con el gran ejército pagano en 865 d. C.4
Por el momento, todos los intentos de vincular al Ragnar legendario con uno o varios de esos hombres han sido vanos dada la dificultad de reconciliar las distintas hazañas y su cronología. Sin embargo, la tradición central en torno a un héroe vikingo llamado Ragnar (o sus derivados) que llevó el espanto a la Europa de mediados del siglo nueve, y que engendró varios hijos de renombre, es sorprendentemente persistente, y algunos aspectos de la misma se encuentran relatados en fuentes relativamente confiables, tales como la Crónica anglosajona. De acuerdo a Davidson, «en los últimos años algunos académicos han aceptado al menos la última parte de la historia de Ragnar como basada en hechos históricos».5 Katherine Holman, por otro lado, ha concluido que «aunque sus hijos son figuras históricas, no hay evidencia alguna de que Ragnar haya existido; parece tratarse de una amalgama de distintas figuras históricas y una viva invención literaria».4
Incursiones
Pasó buena parte de su vida en expediciones vikingas arrasando ciudades de la Europa cristiana y solía aceptar el pago de un rescate o tributo (danegeld) para dejar en paz a los pueblos atacados y abandonar sus tierras.
Báltico
Saxo Grammaticus en su Gesta Danorum cita dos importantes incursiones a principios de la década de 840 de Ragnar en el mar Báltico, el primero contra los dominios de los semigalianos que Saxo denomina «hellespontianos», y el segundo contra curonios y sambianos.6 Tras vencer a los semigalianos, de regreso a Dinamarca, atacó las costas de Sambia y el reino de los curonios forzando a sus habitantes a reconocerle como conquistador para evitar la devastación.7
Francia
Artículo principal: Sitio de París (845)
Aproximadamente en 845, era ya uno de los mayores caudillos vikingos, preocupado por la falta de ocupación de sus hijos. Temía que los hombres de armas de su reino, sin enemigos, cometieran alguna estupidez que fuera contraproducente para su reinado. Por ello lanzó una ofensiva con 120 barcos y 5000 hombres contra el reino de Francia. Probablemente desembarcó en el estuario del Sena y asoló la parte occidental del Imperio franco.
Un histórico Ragnar Lodbrok aparece como jarl de la corte de Horik I (814-854) de Dinamarca, participó en el asedio de París el 28 de marzo de 845.8 Carlos II el Calvo, nieto de Carlomagno, tuvo que pagar por la ciudad un danegeld (tributo) de 7000 libras de oro y plata para evitar el pillaje.
Este acuerdo no le impidió atacar otras partes de Francia, siendo ardua la tarea de expulsarle.
Inglaterra
Tras Francia, las islas británicas atrajeron su atención. En 865, desembarcó en Northumbria, en la costa noreste de Inglaterra, donde fue derrotado por Ælla de Northumbria. Fue atrapado por el rey de los anglos, y ejecutado de manera horrible, arrojado a un pozo de serpientes venenosas. Sus últimas palabras fueron que sus cachorros lo vengarían. Estos eran sus hijos Björn, Ivar, Halfdan y Ubbe.
Herencia
De su relación con diversas mujeres se le imputa la paternidad de varios hijos según las sagas nórdicas:
Con Aslaug:
Björn Ragnarsson apodado Brazo de Hierro o Costillas de Hierro.9
Sigurd Ragnarsson apodado Serpiente en el Ojo
Guthrod (n. 772) que gobernó en Uppsala, Örebro, Suecia.
Hvitsärk
Rognvald Ragnarsson
Ivar el Deshuesado
Con Þóra Borgarhjörtr:
(Sigurd también pudo haber sido fruto de esta relación)
Erik Ragnarsson (n. 768)
Agnar Ragnarsson (n. 770)
Olof Ragnarsdatter (n. 786), que se casó con el jarl Hunda-Steinar del Danelaw.10 Su nieto Auðunn skökull Bjarnarson fue uno de los grandes colonos de Islandia.
Con otras relaciones:
Ingvar Ragnarsson (n. 790)
Ubbe Ragnarsson
Halfdan Ragnarsson
