His father was Hálfdan, the Margrave of Frisia; a Knight of Charlamagne and his mother was Thora, daughter of Sigurðr Hrïng the King of Sweden and his wife Álfhild Haraldsdottir the Princess of Lethra. Hálfdan was murdered during the battle of Walcherin by the sons of Güdrod causing Thora to flee with her children to the kingdom of Queen Åsa for safety. Thora was Jewish on the matrilineal line making Ragnar Jewish by halakah but he was as Danish as they come having been raised within the court of Queen Åsa.
