Ragnar Lothbrok, the legendary Norse hero and king, is said to have had many children, though the exact number varies depending on the sources, both historical and literary. Traditionally, he is most commonly associated with several notable sons.
Among his most famous children are Bjorn Ironside, who became a legendary king and warrior; Ivar the Boneless, known for his cunning and leadership; Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye; Hvitserk; and Ubbe. These sons are often depicted in sagas and histories as significant figures in their own rights, leading various raids and establishing their own reputations.
Additionally, there are references to other children, which can include daughters and perhaps other sons, depending on the varying narratives found in the sagas. However, focusing on the most prominent figures, Ragnar is typically credited with five main sons who play crucial roles in the sagas and in Viking history.
