The Strangest Viking Documentary (Ivar the Boneless)

I had had trouble finding this documentary online, and finally found it.
I in no way own the rights to this interesting documentary.
Ivar Ragnarsson (Old Norse: Īvarr; died possibly 873[1]) nicknamed the Boneless (inn beinlausi), was a Viking leader and by reputation also a berserker. By the late 11th century he was known as a son of the powerful Ragnar Lodbrok,[2] ruler of an area probably comprising parts of modern-day Denmark and Sweden.

So if Ivar's brilliant success is due to his disability, as the little historian (forgot his name) claims, then using this same logic we can we say that his infamous cruelty was due to his disability.

This 'documentary' really highlights why you shouldn't rely on television channels to teach you history.

this little person trying to feed his little ego by researching on this viking that was brittle like him... saying he feels like he is inhabiting ivans skin while being lifted on a shield!!!! WTF!! .....does not amuse me at all.

Now The history of the fierce Nordic Vikings....Awesome!!! that is interesting!!!!

Someone with an axe to grind trying to teach history...he still can't prove how Ivar would even have survived to adulthood with such a condition.

It seems to me that Ivar being an handicap is wishful thinking. Even with all the modern accommodations, its not easy being handicapped. Imagining somebody with brittle bones disease thriving in a Nordic environment, navigating on long ships and still gaining enough respect from his men in battle is highly improbable.

"Richard the Third was a hunchback"....ooh, debatable.

Hmm, I'm unsure about this docu. (Admittedly, not finished watching it yet.) Part of me is open minded, BUT at the back of my mind, there's a little voice going 'BIAS! BIAS!'
