# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Old Norse poetry, Icelandic sagas, and near-contemporary chronicles all name Ragnar Lodbrok, though they disagree on nearly everything else. The legendary sagas give him a father: Sigurd Ring, a Swedish king lost to myth. What the sources do agree on is the pattern — relentless raids across the British Isles and into Carolingian lands, the kind of pressure that bent kingdoms. Whether one man or a composite of several, the figure became a template: the Viking who struck where empire was soft. The sagas later gave him sons, continuing the line, but Ragnar himself remains suspended between chronicle and invention — a name that survived because the fear it provoked was real.
