Ragnar Lothbrok and the Uí Ímair Legacy in Dublin

In this episode, we dive deep into the Uí Ímair dynasty, the descendants of Ragnar Lothbrok who ruled Dublin and much of the Irish Sea world. We explore how Ivar the Boneless transitioned from legendary Viking leader to historical king of Dublin, as recorded in the Annals of Ulster and Chronicon Scotorum. Discover the longphort of Dublin, the Gall-Gaedhil, and the dynasty's battles with Irish kings like Áed Findliath. We examine the material evidence from Woodstown and the importance of trade in slaves and silver. Lucas and Luna discuss the blend of Norse and Gaelic culture, the decline of the Uí Ímair, and the lasting impact on Ireland until the Anglo-Norman invasion. #UíÍmair #IvarTheBoneless #DublinVikings #Longphort #AnnalsOfUlster #ChroniconScotorum #ÁedFindliath #Woodstown #GallGaedhil #NorseIreland #IrishSea #VikingDynasty #SlaveTrade #SilverDirhams #NinthCentury #History #FexingoHistory #VikingAge Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
