Biography
Trivia
- There are several theories as to how Ivarr got his moniker "the Boneless". Several of the sagas describe him as lacking legs or bones at all, while The Tale of Ragnar's Sons hints that he was impotent.
- Contrary to his portrayal in the game, several of the sagas attest that Ivarr was physically unable to walk, due to a physical disability. As a result, the sagas state that he had to be carried around on a shield.
- Another difference between the game and the sagas, is that Ivarr was wise, cunning and a master of strategy in battle.
- In the game Halfdan is stated to be older than Ivarr however in the Sagas Ivarr is older.
