MYTHOLOGY

BJÖRN

The bear, not only a fearsome creature, but the name of a famous Viking in history. Bjorn Ironside, or  Bjǫrn Járnsíða in Old Norse was a successful Viking leader through the years of 855 and 862 – raiding what’s known now as the Mediterranean and France amongst other places. He has gained a new lease of renown in the TV Series Vikings, played by Alexander Ludwig.
