Step into the stormy world of the Viking Age with Ragnar Lothbrok: Viking Legend of the North. Ragnar Lothbrok, a figure standing at the crossroads of history and myth, remains one of the most captivating characters from Scandinavia's legendary past. Warrior, raider, explorer, and king, his saga has echoed across centuries in Norse sagas, medieval chronicles, and popular imagination.
