Every Epic Rap Battles Of History Ranked

34. Richard The Lionheart Vs, Ragnar Lothbrok

Rappers: Peter (Richard) and Lloyd (Ragnar).

Season seven is off to a smashing start.

This match-up doesn't sound super-exciting at first, but in fact this episode does a huge amount with it. The verses are smart, funny, detailed and very well-thought out and like most of the best ERB episodes, this really takes its time to explore the figures who are rapping. And all those historical references will delight history buffs too.

If it's not quite stand-out enough to be an all-timer, it's still a very, very good episode that comfortably sits in the upper tier of the series.

Best Line:

Richard the Lionheart: "Of course you got avenged by a kid with no bones / Your own story ended worse than Game of Thrones / Your son killed your ex, your ex killed your wife / I'm the Lion King, man, but that's a messed up circle of life!"
