I know it's a tv show but how close to accurate is it? I want to look some of the things up but I don't want to know any real life spoilers. I am current on the tv show. Did Ragnar leave his first wife? Did he blood eagle that guy? Did he befriend that king? Etc...

Ragnar saga's were written down centuries after when he supposedly lived, even if he did really live, which is debatable. I haven't read them, so I couldn't tell you the specifics of whether the story is true to the sagas(Norse stories), however, how they fight in battle is some of the most accurate I've seen. General every day life is pretty damn accurate, although the numbers are smaller than they would have been for obvious TV reasons.
