jorindelle:The Aslaug Appreciation Vikings Countdown ≡ 1 Days till Vikings!↳Aslaug’s family tree {double lines - married; dashed line - unmarried; click to view the full size}I’ve seen discourse about how often Aslaug mentions her father, so I made this to try to explain that part of her character. The founder of Aslaug’s family line was actually Odin himself, and among her ancestors is one of the Jötnar. So, the Volsungs are descendants of the two mythical races. Aslaug also comes from a long line of kings and queens on either side of her lineage. What’s more, each heir of the Volsung clan (which leads directly to Aslaug) is the greatest hero of his time, with each son surpassing his father; the pinnacle being Aslaug’s father, Sigurd. Aslaug (as her half-siblings were killed) is her father’s sole heir and this is the legacy that she is carrying forward. -- source link
