I've recently started watching the TV show Vikings. I'm interested in music about Ragnar Lodbrok and related figures (like his sons or contemporaries) in any language whatsoever, especially if it's in the style of folk.

Herr Mannelig, this is a good song. The lyrics are on this website too (LT).

When you look up this link on YouTube there will be a boatload of other Viking Songs suggestioned on Youtube.

There are many, many folk metal and Viking metal bands who sing about that kind of thing, I recommend Skálmöld (Viking metal from Iceland), Heidevolk (a Dutch folk metal band), Falkenbach (Viking metal in German/English/Old Norse) and Moonsorrow (Finnish folk metal), all of whom sing about Norse mythology and Viking history. If you mean like Wardruna, the neofolk band who do the music for Vikings, I recommend Forndom and Leidungr. There are other bands who do similar music but I can't think of any more at the moment who are specifically Norse/Viking based. Hope that helps!

Here's an amazing trailer for a Russian film Viking with the world premiere on December 22 so the film will be dubbed I guess. The cast of actors is above the top! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqLMBgfYtOI

This.
Dunno if any of the songs are specifically about Ragnar Lodbrok, but about vikings and norse mythology in general there is a lot of music.
I'd add to the list Amon Amarth and Týr, in a way also Arckanum, Ironwood and Asenblut, and more can be found here:
