Lagertha was, according to legend, a Viking shieldmaiden from what is now Norway, and the onetime wife of the famous Viking Ragnar Lothbrok. Her tale, as recorded by the chronicler Saxo in the 12th century, may be a reflection of tales about Thorgerd (Þorgerðr Hölgabrúðr), a Norse deity.
Her name as recorded by Saxo, Lathgertha, is likely a Latinisation of the Old Norse Hlaðgerðr (Hladgerd). It is frequently rendered in English-language sources as "Lagertha", and has also been recorded as Ladgertha, Ladgerda or similar.
Lagertha's tale is recorded in passages in the ninth book of the Gesta Danorum, a 12th-century work of Danish history by Saxo Grammaticus. According to the Gesta (¶ 9.4.1–9.4.11), Lagertha's career as a warrior began when Frø, king of Sweden, invaded Norway and killed the Norwegian king Siward. Frø put the women of the dead king's family into a brothel for public humiliation. Hearing of this, Ragnar Lodbrok came with an army to avenge his grandfather Siward. Many of the women Frø had ordered abused dressed themselves in men's clothing and fought on Ragnar's side. Chief among them, and key to Ragnar's victory, was Lagertha. Saxo recounts:

Since Sigvard is too much of a coward to strike Lagertha for himself, he decides to make "other arrangements" regarding Lagertha.. which pretty much means he will go fuck some whores and send his men to beat her to a pulp... i like to imagine they didn't rape her, but hey... this is the vikings.. good to see that she put up a decent fight before going down though.. i mean being outnumbered 4 to 1 and unarmed, yeah not even Mike Tyson would stand a chance there.

I am absolutely in love with Lagertha. She is a She-Wolf that fiercely protects herself and her young. She is a Valkyrie raining wrath down upon those who dare to lay a hand upon her or her pups. And I love her for it. Fandom: Vikings (History Channel) Song: Breath Of Life by Florence and the Machine

Lagertha is my favorite character from the Vikings on the History channel.A small dedication video for her the actress who plays her Katheryn Winnick is a black belt in two different martial arts.She also helps choreograph the fights scenes for the show.Made using Action recorder and Sony Vegas from the Blu-Ray rendered in 1080p! Using original music composed by Trevor Morris from the show.All credit goes to original artists this is simply for the fans. As epic as she is in the show the real life Lagertha was even more impressive. Did you know that the character Lagertha, Ragnar Lothbrok's wife, in History's Vikings is loosely based on a real historical figure? Lagertha was, according to legend, a Danish Viking shieldmaiden from what is now Norway, and the onetime wife of the famous Viki...
