The Viking	comment	A 1951 novel by Edison Marshall, The Viking tells the story of Ogier the Dane in the days of Ragnar Lodbrok, viceroy to King Horik of the Danes and cousin to King Harold of Norway. A slave of Ragnar all his life Ogier is the rival of Ragnar's only son, and youngest in total, by his third and youngest wife, and the first to die, the Frankish Judith of Nantes. On a day when Ragnar and his sons go hunting, Ogier reveals a gyrfalcon he had found frozen to a tree the previous winter to Hasting and it is that day when Ogier's life changes completely. Ultimately becoming the slave of the exiled Northumbrian thane Egbert, Ogier enters a larger world with Northumbria becoming a recurring location in Ogier's life.The book was adapted for the screen (with much changes in the names) in 1958 as The Vikings.

The Viking / int_24067bb9	type	Related in the Adaptation
The Viking / int_24067bb9	comment	Related in the Adaptation: Due to coming from two different legends, Ogier the Dane is not traditionally a son of Ragnar Lothbrok. Ivar the Boneless is identified as the son of Thora rather than Aslaug, who goes unnamed. The future Egbert I of Northumbria identifies Egbert of Wessex as his maternal grandfather, though historically there is no known relation between the two.

The future Egbert of Northumbria identifies Egbert of Wessex as his maternal grandfather, both men are historical figures, but Egbert of Wessex's only known child was his son and successor Aethelwulf.

It ends years later with Alan having told the tale at a court and him being asked whatever happened to Ogier and Morgana after they went in search of Avalon.

The Viking / int_98d3f973	type	Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe
The Viking / int_98d3f973	comment	Mama's Baby, Papa's Maybe: This is actually discussed in the story itself a few times. The first time happens when Ragnar's cousin Eric jokes that Hasting must have been fathered by a plowman. The second time happens when Morgana wonders if Ragnar could be Aella's father when she hears about Ragnar's rape of Enid, Aella's mother. Ogier then informs her that Aella had already been born by that point. The third time is an unusual inversion. Aella conjectures that Ogier is Ragnar's son, which he ultimately turns out to be correct about, and remembers what his mother Enid told him of there having been two other women in Ragnar's pavillion, Ragnar's servant the Jewess Meera and Ragnar's wife Judith of Nantes, and so wonders which of the two could be Ogier's mother. As Ogier himself tells Aella, Meera is barren and Judith is Hasting's mother. As it turns out Ogier's mother is Aella's mother Enid.

The Viking / int_e2ccee25	comment	Animal Motifs: Ogier likens Ragnar to a bear and even comes to name a bear "Ragnar's Brother." The motif extends to Ragnar's son Bjorn Ironsides whom Ogier says is most like his father out of all his sons. Ragnar's bear comparison is countered with Ogier likening himself to a wolf and when making comparisons to birds Ogier compares himself to a gyrfalcon, which becomes his initial sobriquet and even his standard, and Ragnar to a pelican.

In order to differentiate the two the former is initially called "Hasting the Young", implying the other is older than him, and later becomes known as "Hasting Maidenface" after his face is disfigured by Ogier's gyrfalcon Odin's Arrow.
