Vikings Fact Check: Was Ragnar's Daughter, Gyda, Real?
Vikings told different stories from the early years of the Viking Age through Ragnar Lothbrok and his family, and while his sons became the leads of the series, he also had a daughter, Gyda – but was she a real person? Created by Michael Hirst, Vikings premiered on the History Channel in 2013 and became one of the most popular historical dramas in recent years. Vikings came to an end in 2020 after six seasons, but there’s still interest in the stories of its main characters and their historical accuracy.
