This Day In History: Canadian actress Katheryn Winnick was born on this day in 1977. I know her best for her portrayal as the shield-maiden Lagertha in the History channel show "Vikings" (one of my favorite shows). Her husband on the Vikings, Ragnar Lothbrok (or Lodbrok in older textbooks) and his sons were actual historical persons and quite legendary (even Ivar the Boneless, who came to be the most renowned of Ragnar's sons).
Katheryn Winnick can kick ass in real life as well. She has a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and a 2nd degree black belt in Karate. She’s also a licenced bodyguard.
Oh, and that Bluetooth technology you use on your phone was named after King Harald Bluetooth, a Danish viking.
