	Ivarr the Boneless, disabled Viking War Chief
		As early as 1949 medical historians have argued that the Danish prince, Ivarr the Boneless, responsible for leading the Great Heathen invasion and subsequent occupation of England in 865, was a disabled man, being unable to walk, who had to be carried into battle on the back of a shield.
		The result of this untimely union was Ivar, who came to be known as Ivar the Boneless.
		The sagas built up around Ivar are richer in poetic flights of the imagination than in sober descriptions of his physical handicap, so Dr. hatteland has found it difficult to weigh the evidence for and against the diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta and possible alternative diagnoses.
