Summary: <br> In this special episode, we take <br> a break from the family sagas of medieval Iceland and look forward to the <br> second season of History Channel’s Vikings <br> by delving into the medieval sagas and legends behind the show. Discussion centers on The Saga of Ragnar Lothbrok and his Sons, but Saxo Grammaticus’ Gesta Danorum, the Krákumál, and The Saga of <br> Ragnar’s Sons are referenced here as well. <br> There’s a bit of history, a bit of myth, and a few laughs to be had <br> along the way. If you’re unfamiliar with <br> the show, maybe this episode will entice you to give Vikings a try. You can check <br> out the first season at <a href="http://www.history.com/shows/vikings">http://www.history.com/shows/vikings</a>. <br> If you’re not a fan of the show (for shame), <br> then listen anyway. This is a podcast about Ragnar Lothbrok, his family, and <br> the legends surrounding their exploits in medieval Europe. We hope you enjoy.<br> <br> <br>
