Ivarr the Boneless (died c. 873), also known as Ivarr Ragnarsson, was a Viking leader who raided Anglo-Saxon England during the 9th century. The son of the late Ragnar Lodbrok, he was also the brother of Halfdan Ragnarsson and Ubba Ragnarsson.[1]

Trivia

  • There are several theories as to how Ivarr got his monicker "the Boneless". Several of the sagas describe him as lacking legs or bones at all, while The Saga 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.


Behind the scenes

In mid-October 2020, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla's narrative director Darby McDevitt revealed on Twitter that the voice of Ivarr was provided by Eric Johnson.[2]
