Från Wikipedia;
Andra sagor nämner att han hade ett "tjockt, hårigt tyg" vilket han doppade i vatten som frös till is.
Han skall bara ha haft två fruar enligt Sagan om Konung Ragnar Lodbrok och hans Söner.
Om hans första hustru Thora Borgarhjort, dotter till Herrud (Herröd);
Om hans andra hustru, Åslög Kraka, som han tog med sig hem från ett besök i Norge;
När Ragnar besöker lydkonung Östen Beli, övertalar denne honom att överge Kraka och istället gifta sig med prinsessan Ingeborg. När han återkommer hem har tre fåglar redan avslöjat dessa planer för Kraka, som tillrättavisar honom och avslöjar sitt sanna ursprung. För att bevisa att hon är dotter till Sigurd, som dödat Fafner, berättar hon att hon ska föda ett barn med en orm avbildad i ögat. Detta visar sig stämma när hon föder Sigurd Ormiöga. När Östen får höra att Ragnar ändrat sig gör han uppror, men dräps av Ragnars och Krakas söner.
Saxo Grammaticus: Gesta Danorum
I Hervörs saga, kapitel 20, sägs det att efter Ragnars död togo af hans söner Björn Jernsida Svea välde, Sigurd Danavälde, Hvitserk de östra rikena och Ivar Benlös England. [1]
Men hos Torseus (Series Rer. Dan. pag. 374) heter det att Björn Jernsida tog Upsala rike, allt Svithiod och bägge Götaland och alla de land som dertill ligga; Sigur Orm-i-Öga Eygotaland (här Seland) och alla öar, Skåne och Halland, Reidgotaland (Jutland och Venden) samt Ivar Benlös den del av England som hans fränder före honom haft. Jft Geijer, S.R.H. pag. 584. [2]

France Expedition In 845 he sailed southward, looking for new worlds to conquer. With an alleged force of 120 ships and 5,000 Viking warriors, he landed in what is now France, probably at the Seine estuary, and ravaged West Francia, as the westernmost part of the Frankish Empire was then known. Rouen was ravaged and then Carolivenna, a mere 20 km from St. Denis. The raiders then attacked and captured Paris. The traditional date is March 28, which is today referred to as "Ragnar Lodbrok Day" by certain followers of the Asatru religion. The King of West Francia, Charlemagne's grandson Charles the Bald, paid Ragnar a huge amount of money not to destroy the city. Ragnar Lodbrok, according to Viking sources, was satisfied with no less than 7,000 pounds of silver in exchange for sparing the city. However, that did not stop Ragnar from attacking other parts of France, and it took a long time for the Franks to drive him out. Later, Ragnar's sons were to return for more booty. Among their feats was destroying the city of Rouen several more times. Ultimately, many of them settled there permanently, in a land that became known as Normandy (deriving from the expression "Nordmenn" , or 'Northmen' ('Norsemen'), which was - and indeed still is - both the name the Norwegians called themselves and also the name the Franks used for the Scandinavians.

Björn Ironside is their son. According to Norse legends, was a Norse Viking chief and Swedish king. According to the 12th- and 13th-century Scandinavian histories, he was the son of notorious Viking king Ragnar Lodbrok and lived in the 9th century, between 855 and 858.
