Who is Ragnar Lothbrok in Vikings?
The farmer who sailed west · House Lothbrok
Ragnar Lothbrok (The farmer who sailed west) is a character in Vikings, part of House Lothbrok. Ragnar Lothbrok is a farmer with a dangerous idea: that there are lands west across the open sea, and that the yearly raids east are a failure of imagination. Claiming descent from Odin and armed with a sunboard, a sunstone and a friend who builds impossible boats, he defies his earl to find out. Ragnar's restless curiosity — about gods, kings, farming, and what else a man might be — is the engine of everything that follows, for his family and for two civilisations.
