His paternal grandparents were Randver Randbardsson and Aud Godfreidsdoittir; his maternal grandfather was King Gandolf Alfgeirsson Of Norway. He had two brothers named The Old and Rurik. He died in 0845 in Northumbria,England.2 General Notes
"Lodbruck" means Hairy Breeches because according to legend he froze hairy blankets to his breeches to protect his legs from the serpent which he drove out of his native Sweden. He led his men to Constantinople; to Dublin; up the Seine to Paris, which he sacked in 845; to the Orkney Islands; and finally Northumbria, whose king thrust him into a den of snakes. [See Snorre's Saga and the Icelandic Landnamebok (Book of Settlement). Many historians regard much of the genealogy at this point to be purely legendary or even mythical.]
