Vikings True Story: How The Real Ragnar Lothbrok Died

Season 4 of Vikings saw the demise of its lead, Ragnar Lothbrok, but how did the real Ragnar die and was the Ragnar Lothbrok death scene accurate? Vikings initially followed Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) and his travels and raids alongside his Viking brothers. As the stories progressed, the series began to shift its focus to Ragnar’s sons and their journeys, making them the protagonists. Although Vikings is a historical drama and a lot of research was conducted when developing the series, it also had to make some up so that it could tell the desired stories, especially considering that there are not many records on the characters in the show.
