  He was a semi-legendary King. He is said to possibly be the Ragnar who entered the Seine in 845with120 ships. Charles the Bald deployed his army on both sides of theriver and Ragnar attacked and routed the smaller contingent and hung111 prisoners on an island in full viewof the other Frankish force whooffered no more resistance. Ragnar sailed into Paris and sacked itonEaster Sunday. Charles the Bald paid him 7000 pounds of silver todepart in peace and thus gained six years free of invasion. Another story says in his old age he became jealous of his son'sreknown as vikings and raided Northumberland and was captured by KingElla whothrew him in a snake pit. As he was being bitten he sang hisdeath song starting each stanza with "Downwe hewed them with ourswords" and in his dying breath prophesized, "How piglets would gruntif they know the plight of the boar!" His sons did avenge his death by capturing King Ella, carved a"bloodeagle" on his back, hacked out his ribs and pulled his lungsoutspreading them across his back like wings.[jweberWAL.ged]
