Ragnar Lothbrok
Why are you reporting this puzzle?
According to legend, Ragnar Lothbrok was a king of Denmark who succeeded Sigurd Hring in 804 AD. Some historians identify him with Reginherus, a Norse chieftain who was responsible for the siege of Paris in 845 AD. There are historians, however, who dispute this idea. Either way, Ragnar is probably partly historical and partly legendary, like many figures in Scandinavian prehistory. [Source: Internet]
Ragnar Lodbrok or Lothbrok (Old Norse: Ragnarr Loðbrók)... was a legendary Danish and Swedish Viking hero and ruler, known from Viking Age Old Norse poetry and sagas. According to that traditional literature, Ragnar distinguished himself by many raids against Francia and Anglo-Saxon England during the 9th century. There is no reliable evidence, however, that he actually existed under this name and the mythological aspects attributed to it. [Wikipedia]
This photo is from the exceptional T.V. series, "Vikings." Travis Fimmel as Ragnar Lothbrok. The series has brought Ragnar's epic legend to the screen. I chose this particular photo because of the rustic Norse interior and because it creates a great portrait.
