Ragnar Lothbrok is a legendary farmer turned Norse king of the Viking era.
Like many other legends of ancient times, there is little known about him. And most of what little facts are there, seem to be shrouded in ambiguity.
In the TV series 'Vikings', based both on fiction and fact, he seems to be a character of immense courage and distinguished intelligence. His love for his family and close ones touches the viewers' hearts.
Even when he dies, his last words reflect his love for his sons. He claims that a hero entering into Valhalla does not lament his death, he claims that he will await his sons there to listen to their accounts of glory.
His last words are "The Aesir will welcome me! My death comes without apology!" That is why we have compiled a list of quotes from this legend for the fans to enjoy.
About power, Ragnar said, "it corrupts the best and attracts the worst." Whether you are looking for Ragnar Lothbrok quotes on power, 'Vikings' quotes, Viking sayings, or Ragnar Lothbrok quotes power, you will find them here.
