Listen for free

View show details

This episode cuts through the sagas to examine the only near-contemporary source for a Viking leader named Ragnar Lothbrok: the Frankish Annals of St. Bertin. We explore the 845 siege of Paris, the figure Reginherus, and how later legends embroidered his story. Featuring the Frankish perspective, the role of Charles the Bald, and the Danegeld payment that may have sparked the myth. Also: how the chronicles differ from the sagas and what they reveal about early Viking warfare in West Francia. #RagnarLothbrok #SiegeOfParis845 #AnnalesBertiniani #Reginherus #CharlesTheBald #FrankishChronicles #Danegeld #VikingAge #WestFrankia #Seine #VikingWarfare #MedievalHistory #LegendVsHistory #SaxoGrammaticus #GestaDanorum #PrimarySources #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
