Ragnar Lothbrok (Ragnar The Red?) So I started watching this new show on the history channel called "vikings"
It follows Ragnar and is adventures... The thing that made me compare it to skyrim was one of his crew members..
Vladmir Kulich which we all know is the voice of Ulfric Stormcloak.. In the show he is a brute of man and goes by the name Eric..
The show is very well done and i recomend checking it out see what Skyrim throw backs we can find..

I wouldn't be surprised if it was referencing of some kind.

Yeh uhh... no.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnar_Lodbrok

It's inspired by scandinavian history and norse mythology, not skyrim...
