'Only cartilage was where bone should have been, but otherwise, he grew tall and handsome and in wisdom, he was the best of their children.' The Viking sagas describe Ivar as- Viking Raven Banner The name derived from their reputed habit of wearing a coat (Old Norse- serkr) made from the skin of a bear (Old Norse- ber) in battle. Ivar, who ruled over an area covering parts of modern Denmark and Sweden, was reputed to be a berserker, berserkers were Viking warriors who are said to have fought in an uncontrollable, trance-like fury, later giving rise to the English word berserk.
Ivar Ragnarsson or Ivar the Boneless (inn beinlausi) as he was curiously referred to, was a Viking warlord and a man of exceptional cruelty and ferocity, he was the son of Ragnar Lodbrok and Aslaug Sigurdsdottir.
