I'm making mine! I'm going to be Lagertha, SO is going to be Ragnar. My throw-together costume isn't going to be show-exact, but I'm pretty sure my group of friends will know exactly who I'm playing.
After shopping around online, actual Vikings costumes run a damn pretty penny - and I only have ugly ones. So, I'm improvising.
This corset and this bolero are my choices for replicating Legertha's tunic-type shirt/sleeves and her armor/vest. Bracers I'm still working on, but I might end up making them myself. I might find a tunic or large brown/tan t shirt and chop/adjust it accordingly to have the bottom coming out of the corset to mimic the tunic since I've not been able to find a good actual tunic top that I like.
These boots were too adorable to pass up, and then I have brown leggings as well.
My company that I work for receives supplies on pallets, so I'm getting one or two to break down and fix into a shield. Painted, of course. Throw a few brown belts on my waist, though the corset that I'm buying actually has sufficient buckling.
And then there is her sword and sheath, which I'm still pondering.
Finished up, of course, with youtube tutorials on Lagertha's hair style. I like that one just because it's easy for someone who doesn't do a lot with her hair very often. I think I can manage this one.
As far as for my SO and being Ragnar ... that's a whole different ballgame that I will be sorting out and figuring out on what to do starting this weekend!
When I started watching this show a few years ago I ended up buying quite a few books about Norse Mythology and Asatru (the reconstruction religion that is becoming more popular).
Here are a few good ones
The Norse Myths This is a good basic breakdown of the stories in the Sagas/Eddas and is easy to read.
Viking Age: Everyday Life During the Extraordinary Era of the Norsemen This is a fantastic book that really isn't related to the myths (there is a religion section) but this is a great book that goes over the everyday lives of Vikings and their families. Everything from political structure down to what they ate and how they dressed. It also has great illustrations.
The Prose Edda: Norse Mythology (Penguin Classics) - one of the source materials of the myths.
The Sagas of Ragnar Lodbrok - I dont have this one personally but it is on my list to buy.
If you want to read about the reconstruction religion that has gained in popularity since the 70s check this book out. Essential Asatru: Walking the Path of Norse Paganism - This is another easy to read book that not only goes over the basics of the Myths/Gods but also goes over the ceremonies and rituals of those who choose to practice today what the Vikings practiced. Minus the live sacrifices... those have been replaced with food and drink thankfully.
If you are just wanting to dip your toes into learning about the myths I cannot recommend the first link more than enough. It is far easier to read than the Eddas/Sagas and from what I understand from other subs is a widely regarded starting point.
Also check out /r/norse and /r/asatru.
Thanks, i saw a couple of those, that third one is really nice, i think i have found the exact one ragnar has on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Asgard-Chunky-Pewter-Viking-Bracelet/dp/B007GADFSQ

Try the Viking book trillogy by Tim Severin! They have superb reviews!
https://www.amazon.com/Odinns-Child-Heroes-Viking-Trilogy/dp/0330426737
I'm currently reading Northmen (The Viking Saga 793-1241) - John Haywood from my local library and it's been a great eye opener to events and how the Vikings operated in the West and throughout Europe.
The Prose Edda. Much of what we know of Norse mythology comes from this book. It's a fun read!
Found it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079JRM2LV. Size XL could work haha.
Here is a quick entertaining read to start you out: Viking: The Norse Warrior's [Unofficial] Manual
For a bit deeper reading this one is a decent overview of all things viking: The Vikings: A History by Robert Ferguson
The starting credits theme is by Fever Ray. Some of the pivotal scenes, (like the Blood Eagle) are scored by Wardruna. The rest is by Trevor Morris.

they are all rather short. Tolkien has a book he wrote the story fo sigurd and Gedrun ( seigfreid and brunhilde des ringes des neibelungs)

According to amazon.com November 3, 2014
I skipped season 2, to wait for the extended bluray instead

In the World of Vikings they explicitly say they are in southern Norway
Edit: this book https://www.amazon.com/World-Vikings-Justin-Pollard/dp/1452145458
The World of Vikings, by Justin Pollard and Michael Hirst.
http://www.amazon.com/The-Sagas-Ragnar-Lodbrok-Waggoner/dp/0578021382
There's also this about Ragnar's sons.
The Sagas of Ragnar Lodbrok Amazon and Audible
This volume presents new and original translations of the three major Old Norse texts that tell Ragnar's story: the Saga of Ragnar Lodbrok, the Tale of Ragnar's Sons, and the Sögubrot. Ragnar's death song, the Krákumál, and a Latin fragment called the List of Swedish Kings, complete the story.
Okay, let me break this down for you in very simple terms:
Every single book I have bought on Viking history goes to extensive lengths IN THE FUCKING INTRODUCTION to detail how Women were treated vastly different to modern day societies (even books written in the 1930s acknowledge this) and that they were warriors. Every. Single. Fucking. Book.
But no, you, who have obviously never read into the subject, know better. You want a list of books? I can provide that.
Book one
Book two
Book three
>Hell's Angels podcast, I don't care
And that's your ignorance showing once again. The podcast is fully sourced and it's done by a guy who majored in History. I'm not sure if he has a Bachelors or a Masters, but he has a degree specifically in History, and he fully sources everything for his podcast. It's not at all some "feminist agenda" podcast, it's actually good history.

I'm fucking done dude. You are ignorant, and instead of learning about it you arrogantly rant about this stuff.
