History

Ancestry

According to the old legends, House Bardax was founded by Viking Warlord Erik "Bard-axe" during the time of the Great Heathen Army's invasion of England. Under the leadership of Erik, along with Ivar the Boneless, the Great Heathen Army captured Northumbria and its capital, York, in 867. Erik gained the epithet of "The Bard-axe of Jórvík", and his lineage was later called by historians "House Bardax of York". Famous descendant of this lineage is the last Scandinavian king of York, Eric, who is usually identified as Eric Bloodaxe.
