Was Ivar the Boneless really a cripple? Latin records may have been mistranslated, as the latin "exos", meaning "boneless", was very similar to the latin "exosus", meaning hateful. What's your take on this, Veeky Forums?

Doesn't matter anymore.
Viking show made him a cripple and impotent. Everyone will remember him like that now.

What else is 'beinlausi' supposed to mean?
Asher Torres
flexible is one theory, like made of rubber
Easton Long
it's a nickname, it could have meant anything
I'm sure they called fat guys john "little" smith for instance
maybe he was double jointed
he could have been a cripple
...maybe he couldn't get it up

Has anyone seen the documentary where a crippled person suffering from a disease that made him tiny and removed most of his limbs claimed Ivar was like him?

This. The nickname "boneless" was a way of saying that he was adaptable and cunning.
Thomas Morgan
Maybe that was his nickname because he ordered his wings the same way every time the Vikings went to Buffalo Wild Wings.

It was probably just a nickname. I know loads of people with nonsensical nicknames.

This is what you get when autists study history and assume everything they read is literal.

My take on it is that every fuckin' time someone claims an idea or legend originates in a mistranslation of Latin they turn out to be a massive retard who doesn't even realize other languages exist. Same thing with believing folk etymologies in English, it's one of the fastest ways to prove yourself a mindless mong to educated people.

I thought he was impotent
Caleb Barnes
Well did he historically have any sons?
