Overview

University Press returns with another short and captivating portrait of one of history's most compelling figures, Ragnar Lothbrok. Ragnar Lothbrok was a legendary Viking. A warrior king whose exploits in battle won him the fierce loyalty of his people (and the name Shaggy-Breeches ), he and his armies sowed terror as they invaded their way across 9th-century Europe. The story of Ragnar Lothbrok's life emerges from the misty depths of the early Middle Ages in the form of a rich oral tradition of Norse legend. He may be remembered for plundering cities, but upon his death he left behind new trade routes throughout Europe and many sons who would carry on their father's traditions. This short book tells the intensely human story of a man who changed the world in a way that no one else could.
