View show details

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Ragnar Lothbrok's historical Frankish campaigns, focusing on the 845 siege of Paris and lesser-known raids on Flanders and the Rhine. They examine the Annals of St. Bertin's account of Reginherus, the Danegeld payment of 7,000 pounds of silver, and the controversy over whether Ragnar was a pirate king or a historical figure. The conversation also covers Charles the Bald's defenses, the use of the Seine as a Viking highway, and how Frankish sources challenge saga narratives. Specific details include the destruction of Rouen, the attack on Saint-Germain-des-Prés, and the political aftermath in West Francia. This episode fills a gap by comparing Frankish and Norse accounts of Ragnar's continental activities. #RagnarLothbrok #VikingRaids #SiegeOfParis845 #FrankishChronicles #AnnalsOfStBertin #Reginherus #CharlesTheBald #Danegeld #CarolingianEmpire #SeineRiver #VikingHistory #WestFrancia #Rouen #SaintGermainDesPres #NorseSagas #EarlyMiddleAges #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
