A lot of you may know Ivar the boneless from the show Vikings where he is presented to us as a man who cannot walk. But is this the truth historically? Ivar was the son of Ragnar Lothbrok and Princess Aslaug, and was considered to be the wisest, and most skilful of warriors, Icelandic Sagas even said he was a famous beserker out of his brothers. (Ragnarssona_þáttr)
It seems pretty farfetched that a feared King of the Vikings who led men into battle didn’t have the use of his legs.  Today I will be presenting accounts from different sources to determine whether Ivar was a hulking warrior of if indeed he was a man who was a cripple.
