E31 - Ragnar Lothbrok "El Vikingo"
Descripción del Episodio
En este episodio de “Cada día, una historia”, nos metemos en la figura de Ragnar Lothbrok, el guerrero que pasó de ser un nombre en las sagas… a convertirse en uno de los símbolos más grandes de la era vikinga.
¿Existió realmente Ragnar?¿O es una mezcla de varios líderes nórdicos?¿Y por qué su historia ha sobrevivido tantos siglos?
Desde sus supuestos saqueos en Inglaterra y Francia, su enfrentamiento con reyes cristianos, hasta las historias sobre su muerte y la venganza de sus hijos… esta es una historia de mito, guerra y legado.
Pero lo más interesante no es si fue real o no…es por qué seguimos hablando de él.
Porque en la historia…hay figuras que conquistan territorios…y otras… que conquistan la memoria.

El mito y la realidad de Ragnar Lothbrok
Momentos Clave
El mito y la realidad de Ragnar Lothbrok: El episodio analiza la figura de Ragnar en la Escandinavia del siglo IX. Aunque las sagas lo presentan como un líder de la élite guerrera e hijo de Sigur Ring, los historiadores señalan que su historia es probablemente una fusión de varios jefes vikingos reales que ascendieron al poder mediante el éxito militar y la meritocracia.
Saqueos en Francia y el primer tributo en París: Entre los años 830 y 860, los vikingos aprovecharon los ríos franceses como autopistas para lanzar ataques rápidos e imparables. Se destaca el asedio a París en el 845, históricamente documentado, donde por primera vez se pagó un tributo para detener el saqueo, un evento que la tradición atribuye a la sed de fama de Ragnar.
Captura en Inglaterra y muerte épica: Buscando consolidar su leyenda, Ragnar lideró una audaz expedición a Nortumbria, pero fue capturado por el rey Aella. La saga relata que fue arrojado a un pozo lleno de serpientes venenosas, donde murió burlándose de sus captores y advirtiendo que sus hijos volverían para cobrar venganza.
La venganza y la Gran Armada Pagana: En el año 865, una inmensa coalición vikinga desembarcó en Inglaterra comandada por figuras históricas reales como Ivar el Deshuesado y Björn Ironside, quienes se autodenominaban hijos de Ragnar. Derrotaron a Nortumbria y Mercia, marcando un hito sin precedentes en sus incursiones.
Transición del saqueo a la colonización: La invasión de los hijos de Ragnar cambió el paradigma vikingo: pasaron de la simple piratería y saqueos rápidos a la ocupación y colonización permanente de territorios, estableciendo leyes y familias. Se concluye que, haya sido un solo hombre o varios, la influencia de Ragnar transformó su mundo para siempre.

The Last 12 Weeks
By shows
In 1992, David Wood was convicted of murdering young women and girls and burying them in the desert outside El Paso, earning him the nickname the Desert Killer. More than 30 years later, his lawyers have one last chance to argue his innocence and stop his execution. “The Last 12 Weeks” follows a team of capital defense lawyers as they try to save their client’s life. The series, produced by Serial Productions and The New York Times in collaboration with The Marshall Project, focuses on the high stakes and at times bizarre work involved in trying to halt an execution. With an extraordinary level of access to a capital case in its final stretch, the longtime death penalty reporter Maurice Chammah takes listeners into the room with the lawyers as the clock ticks down. Maurice and Alvin Melathe, a producer, follow members of the defense team as they look for alternate suspects, try to find new evidence to poke holes in the case, and track down hard-to-find witnesses. In the end, will the lawyers’ efforts be enough to persuade a deeply skeptical court system — and stop an execution three decades in the making? “The Last 12 Weeks.” A five-part series … on a deadline.
