Significant Vikings in Viking History

That is why it is no surprise that these people have been immortalized in the world’s popular culture despite its existence ceasing many decades ago.

Egill Skallagrimsson is a very popular Viking during his time. He was known as a berserker and a Viking age skald and was one of the antagonists of the great Icelandic sagas.

Erik the Red and Gardar Svavarsson are great Viking discovers who discovered Greenland and Iceland respectively. They were considered as one of the greatest Vikings in Viking history for being able to make such discoveries.

Ivar the Boneless is probably one of the inspirations of many Vikings during his time. He was the disabled son of Ragnor Lodbrok who was carried on a shield to move from one place to another and despite his disability, he was still able to conquer York.

People may say that Vikings are ruthless and uncivilized but many of the countries today would not have been discovered if it were not for them. That is why despite their negative reputation, some people are thankful to these famous Vikings who went down history with such pride and honor.
