Björn Ironside History:
Björn Ironside was a Viking chieftain whose history is said to be a mixture of fact and legend. Histories from the 12th and 13th centuries claim that he was one of the sons of the legendary Viking king Ragnar Lodbrok. Björn lived in the 9th century AD and is believed to have been the first ruler of the Swedish House of Munsö. Legend has it that when Ragnar became King of the Danes, custom required him to send his heirs abroad to avoid challenges to his authority during his reign.
While awaiting his turn to ascend the throne, Björn travelled the world, first sailing down the Seine in 855, pillaging through Francia before making his way to Italy and the Mediterranean. It is said that he even went as far as Egypt, to Alexandria, but was unable to capture the city. His journey ended with him returning to Scandinavia, where he and his descendants ruled until around 1060 AD.
