The Strangest Viking

The Strangest Viking presents a unique perspective on Ivarr the Boneless, a historical figure who invaded parts of England in 865 A.D. Nabil Shaban, the film's presenter and director, delves into the theory that Ivarr was not only a formidable leader but also faced significant physical challenges due to a congenital disability known as Osteogenesis Imperfecta, or "brittle bones."

With a runtime of 50 minutes, this documentary is part of the Secret History TV series and offers insights into the complexities of Viking history through a personal lens. Shaban's own experiences with the same condition add depth to the narrative, creating a connection between past and present.
