The True Story of of Aslaug | Vikings

- There are not many characters in Norse mythology and the sagas quite like Aslaug, also known by her nickname Kraka (or the crow). In the sagas we look back to the glories of a distant and perhaps largely imaginary past where semi-historical and legendary things are said to have taken place.

You figured with all of Aslaug’s prophetic accuracies Ragnor would have heeded her warnings. 😭🐍
Even they knew the world was not flat since Loki’s snake was so large it went around the world lol
Absolutely Brilliant!!
Btw, I live in Spangereid. And the street where I live is called Kong Spangs road. There is a creek here which is named after Åslaug, the Crow's Creek. We also had a play about the Crow. Even in kindergarten. One of my sons played King Ragnar and one of my daughters played the goat (🤭)
Personally, I think Ivar's epithet "boneless" refers not to him being handicapped, but perhaps to durability in combat. I'll explain. If a man were to be struck with a club, mace or other bludgeoning weapon, he would normally suffer a broken or shattered bone. It might be possible that Ivar received such a blow(s) without suffering broken bones. That may well be the origin of his nickname "boneless". It's as plausible an explanation as any of the others. As I said though, it's just my opinion.
No, he had EDS, and he most likely died also from sudden heart complications associated with it
It is a quite possible that is what happened but the myths are nebulous!
Brunhilde then later on recruited 13 of humanity's greatest fighters to fight against the Gods in a tournament to save humanity from extinction.
That anime Ragnarok?
@@arealisticexpectationpera Yup.
@@aova687 was it good? I thought they made a mockery of thor
@@arealisticexpectationpera The character designs are hit and miss, Thor was a bit of a miss. But I loved the series, personally. It's my favorite manga.
But if you're expecting 100% accuracy with mythology and history you'll be disappointed. If you like action tournament anime & historical fiction it's perfect for you. If you want it to basically be a documentary with action, you'll be let down.
@@aova687 the concept is great
I said it once as many of us have and I’ll say it again best channel for not just viking history but damn nere good story telling. Blessed Yule to you and yours and everyone. 🎄

@@historyprofiles
No mention! Hope yours was good too! Thank you. Happy great New Year!
Her story is so interesting and very mystic. Sad she was made such a hateful character in the show Vikings, when she could have been probably the best female character in it. Just to emphasize Lagertha’s character more and because people seem obsessed with shieldmaiden.
I actually preferred aslaug more lagertha got annoying especially in season 5 for me
@@Dokgo22scorned woman who blamed everyone but herself for failed relationships.
@kurtlauer2005 I literally thought that she slept around and searched for power in yhe show yet was nvr satisfied lol. Only time I felt empathy was her not having more kids lol
@@Dokgo22 In my opinion, she was in a sense envious of Ragnars rise to power. After feeling disrespected, the character had to be equal and get revenge. They all betrayed Ragnar in the show.
@kurtlauer2005 yeah I recently just binged it after only watching the 1st szn in 2013. But ragnar from a writing standpoint has become an all time great for me personally the show had its flaws but ragnar and his sons were great imo
Such rich, beautiful history.
I have fallen in love with the Vikings way of keeping history. They're so in love with life.
I have become so fucking proud to descend from them.
Fantastic video!
Thank you very much!

A lot of history in this Vikings
Her final jewellery!!!
She was beautiful in the show Vikings.
She was indeed
She? Hopefully she was a real woman in reality
@@mermaida.3999 im sure she was since she was the mother of Björn ironside and ivar the boneless
@@mermaida.3999 Maybe it's time to go outside more.. Maybe take a break online, read a book and learn to meditate or something
@@LDuke-pc7kq actually a great idea maybe the dude then turns into a biological female
I’m begging you please do a vid on the real life of King Ecgbert
I haven't forgotten ML, It will be done in time
Greetings Ollie. Little late today. Road trip to see family. 2102 Thursday 22/12/22.
Hope you had some great family time and the road trip went well!
@@historyprofiles Road trip was great through the picturesque scenery. Made great time as traffic was minimal. Had a great time with family.
Hope you did as well. Happy New Year with health, wealth and happiness. 🎊🎇🎆 2023.
🥂❤️🥰😘☺️
Wow
Ivar the Boneless most likely E.D.S. , it is very painful, boys can be very tall with it especially if they have the Marfan heart disorder with it though EDS can affect the heart dangerously on its own. People with EDS are hypermoble and seem 'double jointed' or even Boneless in how flexible they can be and many get pushed to athletics but this can be damaging. With EDS someone may need help walking with chair, cane etc and other times not depending on the health of their joints that day. Dying suddenly of hollow organ, blood vessel rupture or heart complications is not uncommon in EDS and happens in younger age than most. Hope that helped everyone understand Ivar a little more
They had many more sons and daughters than 4. I am a descendant of them. In my family tree it shows they had 9 children. Queen Alof being one of their daughters. ❤
The start of this has a giant gap in it.
She is My Great Grandmother through hercsons Sigurd and Bjorn ♡
I thought Bjorn was Lageurtha son
This is just one of many variations of the story. The saga of Auslaug and her parents is an old Germanic tribe saga from the first centuries. If Auslaug met Ragnar she was about 500 years old. 😆
I think I like some parts of this story, other parts are tragic. According to my ancestry she is my Great Grandmother. Through two of her sons, Bjorn and Sigurd.
Wait, forgive me for my ignorance but I thought these were mythological beings? I'm a bit confused
Pretty good for a slug
🤔 She was called Kraka(spelling?) while wearing charcoal face? 🫤 I mean....you know...that could be interp....never mind. 😶😏
I hated her so much in the show Vikings 😒😂
Wasted hatred you had
@@eniolaahmadabayomi4072 yeah lol
She is far better than lagertha and she will always be Queen Aslaugh
History?
It never happend.
It did I was the chair
