Ragnar and the Uí Ímair: Viking Kings of York

from Ragnar Lothbrok: Legend, Myth, and Historical Reality — Fexingo History · host Fexingo

In this episode, we trace the Uí Ímair dynasty beyond Dublin to their conquest of Northumbria and the kingdom of Jórvík (York). Lucas and Luna explore how Ivar the Boneless and his kin established a Norse kingdom in northern England, the evidence from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and coin hoards, the reigns of successive Uí Ímair kings like Eowils and Ragnall, and the interplay between Viking and Anglo-Saxon power in the 9th and 10th centuries. We discuss the controversial identification of Ivar with Ímar of the Irish annals, the battle of Tettenhall (910), and the eventual absorption of Jórvík into the expanding kingdom of Wessex under Athelstan. A fresh angle that builds on prior episodes about the Great Heathen Army and the Irish Sea. #UíÍmair #Jórvík #York #IvartheBoneless #GreatHeathenArmy #Northumbria #AngloSaxonChronicle #Viking #Norse #Tetternhall #Eowils #Ragnall #Athelstan #Danelaw #MedievalHistory #EarlyMiddleAges #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
