Publisher's Summary

Although based on historical persons from the ninth century, Ragnar Lodbrok and his sons are the subjects of compelling legends dating from the Viking era. Warriors, raiders, and rulers, Ragnar and his sons inspired unknown writers to set down their stories over seven centuries ago. This volume presents new and original translations of the three major Old Norse texts that tell Ragnar's story: The Saga of Ragnar Lodbrok, The Tale of Ragnar's Sons, and The Sögubrot. Ragnar's death song, the "Krákumál," completes the story. Extensive notes and commentary are provided, helping listeners enter the world of these timeless stories of Viking adventure.

loved it!

Absolutely loved it. After watching the Vikings TV series i was curious as to how accurate their story telling would keep with the original tale. I was extremely surprised.

Ragnar Lodbrok lives still

Ragnar Lodbrok has still not experienced the 3rd and final death, being when your name is no longer spoken, then you are truly dead.

Ray Chase has told the saga well, though it would have been better had he learned how to pronounce names and places, I was at first completely lost, as many of these places still remain today but I could not understand his pronunciation of them.
