These best moments capture the essence of the series, filled with battles, betrayals, and explorations that make Vikings a captivating watch.
----------
The Vikings TV series is a historical drama that originally aired from 2013 to 2020, focusing on the legendary Norse hero Ragnar Lothbrok and his descendants. The show blends historical events with Norse myths and legends to tell the story of Viking raiders and explorers during the Early Middle Ages. Ragnar starts as a farmer with a thirst for knowledge and exploration, eventually rising to become a legendary warrior and king. Alongside him are compelling characters like his wife Lagertha, his best friend Floki, and his various sons, each with their own ambitions and conflicts.
The series explores Viking culture, their clashes with other kingdoms, and their impact on history. It delves into themes of power, family, loyalty, and the consequences of war. Though it takes liberties with historical accuracy for the sake of storytelling, Vikings provides an immersive look into a world of longships, shield walls, and the clash of civilizations. It's a sweeping tale of exploration, political intrigue, and personal growth, set against the brutal yet captivating backdrop of the Viking Age.

In all honesty, Rollo had a happier ending than Ragnar.
Agree
@@studyarch-cr7cg Rollo, Floki, and Ubba had happy endings because they escaped Ragnar's shadow and forged their own destinies. Ragnar is a selfish broken man who wants an eternal war between the Norse and the English and manipulates Ivarr into doing so until the latter realizes his mistake. Overall, Ragnar Lothbrok is the main antagonist and true villain of the Vikings series because he started the wars with his ambitions.
@@ryankwon8785 You must be new to Viking culture if you don't understand there is nothing wrong with enteral war and conflict. Drama in that world is DESIRED.
@@Uranublet F the culture man, no one with right man wants war
But Ragnar lived a greater life
Rollo's story is one of those objectively great things of the show, even if it isn't historical in the slightest. I still absolutely love this scene.
The evil Viking becomes a good man and loves his wife
Very few things are accurate in the show. It's still a good show though.
It is absolutely historical.
Both Rollo and Ragnar are Amalgams of several different characters throughout viking history but most of the events portrayed really happened. There really was a viking lord that switched sides and was given lands downstream of the Seine river and was tasked with protecting paris from further viking incursions.
@@leetommerson639 The guy who the french settled actually was named Rollo
@@freddiedonnellan Robert the 1 duke of Normandy was his christian name, William the Conquerors ancestor and by extension Richard the lionheart
Charles looked so proud of his daughter and her husband. That is the "happy Dad" look if I ever saw one.
Indeed. His sacrifice was repaid way more than he expected at first, since Charles thought Rollo would be violent and brutal, instead Rollo turned out to be a caring and respectful husband to his beloved daughter
Look at him cheesing in the background
I love how Charles trusted Rollo completely. When he fell at his feet Charles picked him back up as if to say “I should be bowing to you!”
Charles knew perfectly the pain of fighting against his own brother, because he had been there with his own older half-brothers in order to be what he is now. He asked Rollo very much, he is aware of that; but he regarded his sacrifice as well, and thus he didn't do the same mistake of Ragnar to take Rollo's loyalty for granted.
They are two men who "burned the bridges" with their family to create their own legacy and descendance.
@@cristinademartini6653 How did Ragnar take Rollo's loyalty for granted? Rollo betrayed Ragnar multiple times, right as he seemed to be loyal to Ragnar he betrayed him for the last time and almost killed Ragnar and was the main cause of Ragnar's failure and destroyed his reputation of always succeeding.
@@HarlequinNova "multiple times"? To me it seems only twice, the first in s1 (during which he was also tortured by Haraldson for Ragnar and his family, wasn't he?) with jarl Borg, but he didn't go through with it and yes Ragnar forgave him; but during s2 he refused to ally himself with Borg again, tried to defend Kattegat and took Ragnar's family into safety from Borg. And when Ragnar came back from England, Rollo helped him reconquering the county. And what did Ragnar do to reward him? Did he give him a title, land or even just a title? He didn't: moreover he refused him the sacrife of Jarl Borg's man before the entire people of Kattegat for Bjorn, therefore refused him total forgiveness and reacceptance among their people (and their gods). And even more, Rollo seriously risked his life in Wessex for his brother. And yet, Ragnar did nothing, and he knew perfectly that Rollo was ambitious, and if he wanted to havr him by his side, he should have done something in regard. That's what I meant by saying that Ragnar took Rollo's loyalty for granted too long: in fact Rollo, tired of being always at his order and never being rewarded and yes, wanting something of his own (and not of Ragnar unlike in s1) he betrayed him for the Franks.
Whose emperor did what Ragnar didn't: after saving Paris and his Family (gisla) from the Vikings in s4e7, in ep 8 he rewarded Rollo with the iron hand before the entire frank court and here, he gave him a triumph and acclaimed him Caesar.
Unfortunately, in ancient times, loyalty between members of one important family was far from being granted: Charles paid Rollo's respect and loyalty with the same, and what did he gain? Rollo's loyalty to himself.
❤
At this point, to King Charles Rollo was basically like the son he never had. You could see in his eyes when he helped Rollo back up to his feet, that was a father welcoming his son home.
Duke Rollo was the great grandfather of William the Conquerer.
great-great-great-grandfather
@@Kiwiasbrooo yah, i think he was pretty great too. My mom did one of those ancestry things, it said we were descendants of him too.
Why do you have to say "was"
Was he suspended from the 'post' and replaced by another one, or else 🤔
Just curious
Also a descendant of William the Conqueror on my mother’s side.
@@mikaelmich3088 How about because it happened 1000 years ago, so they're talking in past tense.
King Charles was always my favorite character. He seems weak and meager but is actually quite intelligent and surgical in the handling of his affairs. Wish we got to see more of him.
FINALLY! Someone else who loves Charles too. I really wished we could have seen more of him too.
You don't know what weak is
he's introduced getting raided without prep-time and then we learn that he's a master strategist lol
@@jamescheddar4896exactly: what he lacked in brutal force, he gains in political and diplomatical strategy. Then, if we think about his backstory (which was pretty similar to Rollo's one in this series), we shouldn't underestimate him at all.
He envied his brother not knowing at first that he can never have what ragnar has. Later revealing a prophecy fulfilled that he has his own glory to claim.
Both brothers have a glorious fate: Ragnar is a legendary King and Rollo is the man whose bloodline would rule Europe.
Me being the runt littlest out of my two older brothers who have 5 & 7 years my age difference and two years difference between them i never ever envied my brothers i dont think we never all did yea we might had skirmishes but nothing to heart broken they were great athletes still are same as I & still do , they were the all action less talk (cool mfs , real actual Ex pandilleros {spanish for gangbangers}) as i like to be all action less talk . My oldest brother is the more serious firm more calmer yet most humorist and people family oriented but likes and tends to get things done under pressure o little to non but he gets it done , as is in my middle brother hes a younger version of my oldest brother way of doing Nd going about things yet hes a mustang untamed uncut wild free daring juste fair the prince a romantic , and then theres me the youngest the younger version of my middle brother but with the bestest versions qualities of my oldest brother infused with my middle brothers bestest versions qualities but in my own person just a lil more of a bookworm out side of their deameanor box but just like them . Envy between brothers is sad because a real brother will always protect you even if they disagree with your reasoning and thats a fact i love my brothers we all have our own don our own way of shinen
@@JoseDeJesus-gi3oh bro what
@@JoseDeJesus-gi3oh Bro's yapping levels are off the chart.
I regret they didnt put more focus on Rollo's arc. I think he was a fucking badass.
What a scene: one of the bests in this series.
Why it shoul be so?
@@An-br7hb let's confront it with some other scenes from previous episodes:
- some vikings mocked, despised him and thus never accepted him as one of them (e5s3); here, some frank soldiers went to help him as he fell on his knee and the frank population esulted and cheered for him as he passed by, therefore they totally accepted him even though he was their enemy before.
-before sailing to Wessex, Siggy, his partner, after being cheating on him with Horik, bitter and disappointed by the fact that he didn't give her what she expected from him, ie power and high status, coldly turned her back and left Rollo in their own home (e1s3); here Gisla, his wife, goes enconter him and, crying for joy and relief he came back (remember that at the beginning of this ep, she was praying for him), she warmly kissed him.
-Ragnar, his brother and the count of Kattegat, after Rollo had helped him regain Kattegat from Borg, refused him the human sacrifice which for Rollo held many significances (forgiviness and reacceptance) and thus he humiliated him before the entire city (e7s2); here Charles, his father-in-law and the emperor himself - keep in mind that -, for gratitude and i'd say even affection he helped him raising up, kissed him on his cheeks and then crowned him Caesar, thus honored him before his entire city.
You might like Rollo or not, and you might consider him a traitor or not, but it's undeniable that Rollo in Frankia had found everthing he longed for in his mother country: power, riches, fame yes, but above all, he found love, affection, recognition and acceptance.
One of the best? not even top 20
@@peccogamble3578 it's a matter of taste. I love it. You don't? That's fine🙂
@@peccogamble3578 maybe you're too empty and void to appreciate this scene.
As pathetic and disgraceful as I find Rollo, I do feel for him here. Clive did an amazing job of showing that this is all Rollo ever wanted, to be loved, appreciated, and admired like Ragnar, but at the same time he has an air of regret, like "I've gotten what I wanted, but at what cost"
Compare this scene to Rollo at the tavern back in Norway falling flat into the mud to the disdain of his fellow townsmen.
@@scottanos9981or to siggy leaving him alone in their own house, after she had been cheating on him with horik and erlendur, because he didn't give her what she expected from him: power, status and wealth.
Or to Ragnar who, after Rollo had protected his brother's family and helped him regain Kattegat from Borg, publicily refused him the sacrifice of Jarl Borg's man.
The Seer: "the princess shall crown the Bear."
"If you knew what the gods had in store for you, you would dance naked with joy on the beach!"
I feel amazed like when Seer said Ragnar you will die the day blind man sees you , Bjorn will be even more greater than you to Ragnar people said okay and when it happened they were like okay it was always meant to happen but when Rollo went out and did what gods have planned for him as seer promised him, people call him snake and enemy. He found his way in life to do better and did it and not to mention he never attacked his Vikings he just defended his only chance he got.
I was happy for him, he finally got the recognition he always needed! For once, he was the hero, he was the celebrated one! ❤
Gratitude is what is cheerful in this scene .
rollo looks like jesus from passion of the christ lmao
That's the point. He's the "savior of Paris".
Honestly rollo has always been my favorite character
Rollo got what he wanted a wife that loved him children he raised power respect fame but I do wonder if he regretted it he seemed kind of bored with this life and was desperate to be a viking again also the fact he was willing to let bjorn kill him shows he does have regrets in his life I guess he would probably do this again just to get out of ragnars shadow but I do wonder if any part of him was sad when ragnar died.
The way they had written Rollo's arc in s4b and 5 was atrocious. I mean, i can understand he has remorses as he should, but what he did wasn't worthy of the real Rollo.
@dill! actually, Rollo's arc from s3 to s4a is my favorite one, since he became what he was fated to be, ie the founder of Normandy (and I have a soft spot for the Norman history). What I didn't like was how his story went on after in this series.
lets just speak about the movie for now,
if he was all this powerful and a duke, why didn't he attack england or help the other vikings after they killed his brother Ragnar?
@@dill3554 well, Langerta indeed did something baad by killing Ivar's and the others mother, but she was jelous because Ragnar took her as a wife and had sons with her.
@@cautarepvp2079 simply: because now he's the ruler of Normandy, and even more, he's a vassal of the monarch of Frankia, and Frankia and Normandy are Christian lands.
Now, if he had helped Bjorn and the vikings (who are pagans) in avenging Ragnar, he would have attacked a fellow christian land, England: therefore the english monarch would have legittimately declared war to Frankia.
aint gonna lie I'm rooting for Rollo, Ragnar just looks so done already
i have never finished a series, this hooked me up until the last episode
He is hailed as a hero upon his return, but he did actually not kill a single viking! He only fought with Ragnar, and Ragnar lived.
Whys he busted up?
He developed a strategy to win, that is quite enough to be a hero
@@davidblbulyan3077 Not exactly heroic to stab your friends and family that spared your life in the back. Of course beating someone who trusted you is easy. No one in that horrible city is a hero. They murdered a camp full of women and children. Rollo should have died for all the things he did.
@@tristan4487 mate, those women and children were offered LANDS through Rollo by the people this city and their king after THEY had broken the pact of not raiding the city through betrayal and sacrilege. Even more, they weren't pacific farmers unlike the wessex settlement, but an illegal settlement of potential threats and invaders. The men (and above all, Ragnar and Bjorn) were immense stupid if they thought they could stay there in Frankia without ripercussion from legittimately angry locals. They were given that last chance of cohexistance and they didn't accept it? So they signed their already set up death warrant.
And Rollo may have betrayed them, but Ragnar had this betrayal from his brother coming from miles away, since he did the big mistakw of take Rollo's loyalty from granted in an era in which loyalty between members of family was far from being granted.
This scene itself is a great example of this: Charles, even though he already given Rollo lands, titles and made him his son in law, granted here a triumph, which Rollo had never had something like this in his own motherland and among his people; and what was the outcome? He gained Rollo's total loyalty to himself.
@@cristinademartini6653 Still doesn't excuse slaughtering every last person in the camp, even those that were unarmed, surrendering and not even fighters. And, yeah, Ragnar is stupid for trusting Rollo. Had I been in Ragnar's place Rollo would have paid with his life for killing One Eye. I'm not sure if the real Rollo did these things or turned on his own family, but if he did then I hope those decisions haunted him till his last breath. And I would have liked the people of Paris, but when the king made his daughter marry Rollo, who he knew damn well could rape and/or murder her, I lost all sympathy for them. And to make things even more disgusting he ordered his own soldiers to drag her to Rollo's bedroom and restrain her while Rollo tortured and raped her. Yeah, those things didn't happen, but that doesn't change the fact that he THOUGHT it was going to happen. Not to mention he had Odo and that brother and sister murdered. Even though Odo's concerns and mistrust were warranted. The king just quite literally gave Rollo a Title and position above Odo, but replaced Odo with Rollo as his second-in-command. A man that is well known as a treacherous, cruel, sadistic rapist and mass murderer.
Rollos famous bendy sword at 0:22
It's the same sword that Jon Snow fought with in the battle of the bastards

Why do they use fake swords but real guns for TV?
This is all he ever wanted.. To be loved , appreciated and respected.
His sword bending when he gets off the horse really hurts this scene for me. It's all I can see now
Never noticed it, thanks for ruining it for me now too lol
ikr, they didn't consider reshooting
You've just ruined my life lol
steel does bend
Game of thrones has a similiar scene with Jon Snow's sword right at the start of battle of the bastards
It’s crazy how in real rollos dynasty and family line would go on to out shadow anything that Ragnar ever did as his family would go on to conquer England and start the British royal family basically meaning that rollo is responsible for the making of the worlds largest empire
Rollo's descendant ends up being William the Conqueror who became the first true King of England.
and we will probably be seeing him in the spinoff/sequel "Valhalla" of this series.
Man, I can't wait!!
Well first Norman king of England anyway
The first true king of England was Aethelstan of Wessex
Rollo as one man turned the tide of the whole battle!
That's the best scene of the show to me
Rollo finally gets what he deserved.
I used to be angry at Rollo. Then i realized. If the man wants to join a new religion. Start his own family and lineage. Why not? Yes it put him at odds with his old people. But he just wanted something of his own. My only thing is that the Normans that came did not really have much norse tradition left.
oversea conquerer, raiders and traders. I think they were norse on horseback, wars in italy, the middle east and greece carving out their own realms
Norse traditions is barbaric
@@svetchannel2998 no culture isn't tbh. all have their cruelties. although we could go into the original term of barbaric just meaning foreign
@@twiliblade I was also a fan of the Vikings for a while, but studying their history, I realized that there is nothing to admire here, because the Vikings are not warriors who smashed armies and conquered countries. They are literally northern peasants on boats who have never engaged in combat with regular troops and their tactic was to avoid them at all costs. They secretly avoiding the army and the militia attacked the villages, i.e. other peasants, and killed completely innocent and defenseless people, raped and destroyed other people's work. There is no military glory or honor in this. The same siege of Paris is the only case where the Vikings decided to attack some fortifications and gathered 40 thousand people and could not take the city, which was defended by two hundred soldiers. Do you understand how pathetic and vile these people are? If you are a German and want to admire your ancestors, then obviously from ancient times these are the Vandals, Goths, Lombards, Rugs, Alemans, Cherusci who crushed and destroyed the Roman Empire head-on.
The Vikings are more likely not about brave warriors, but about the meanness of poor peasants
@@svetchannel2998 Any culture back then was barbaric. Tis all about perspective.
The best end of this show and definitly my favorite character after loki!
The bendy sword at the beginning is funny because the extra/guard didn't know what to do when it hit him lol
EPIC

abecés uno obtiene lo que merece en un lugar distinto a donde nace.
I am sure that he still loves his brother
He does, but he needed to find his own future, his own legacy and his own family. In the past Rollo wanted what belonged to Ragnar, now he has protected what was legittimately his from his own brother.
Also, if Ragnar didn't make the mistake of taking his brother's loyalty for granted too long and give something in return (lands or titles or even better both), this wouldn't have happened. The emperor didn't make that mistake when Rollo had defended Paris the first time in ep. 4: and what had Charled obtained? Rollo's total loyalty, respect and affection towards him.
As a song which reminds me of this arc so much says: "the line it is drawn." Both Rollo and Ragnar were destined to separate, fight each other and then have two separate fates: Ragnar being king of the Northman; Rollo first "duke" of the Normans.
@@cristinademartini6653 love is greater than all if this Rganar loved him above everything else..wish to see them hug one last time
@@cristinademartini6653 Hehe, the emperor indeed somehow believed him, and gave him his daugther to him...
so Rollos kids and his wife now inherit the throne of Paris or whole region.
@@cautarepvp2079 do you know why the emperor believed him? Because he himself had to fight against his own siblings in order to gain his kingdom, such as Rollo did with Ragnar. And evenmore, they both had lived under the shadow of a familiar more famous and brilliant than them: Rollo his brother Ragnar; Charles his grandfather Charlemagne.
Their dynamic would have been so interesting to be explored.
And from that moment on he ate frog’s legs
It's a shame the series went they way it did.
I honestly love the ending. I think the start of 5A was awesome with Ivar in Eoforwic/York. 5B was meh besides battle of marton. Didn’t care for the drawn out “brother war”. 6A introduced the Rus and started awesome. Although I think the Rus were to much of focal point in the story. They would have been better as side story. 6B started meh, as I said I don’t really care for the Rus as a main antagonist. But the ending of 6B was awesome with Ivar and Hvitserk against the Anglo Saxons; Chad King Harald having more screen time; And Ubbe meeting Floki and the native americans. With that I give Vikings after season 4, solid B+
The series died along with Ragnar.

Guys let's be real
We all would have betrayed the Vikings like Rollo to get this.
We all would
That was Ragnar's mistake: not to reward him after helping retaking Kattegat from Jarl Bor in s2.
Loyalty and respect must be reciprocated: if they're not, then betrayal is easy to choose. Charles didn't take Rollo's loyalty and respect for granted and paid his son in law's sacrifices (as he himself knew what means to fight against your own family) with these honors, and the iron hand of Frankia in the previous eps. And therefore, he won Rollo's loyalty to himself.

El unico que salio ganando de la serie Vikings.
I know Vikings is brimming with historical inaccuracy in events, characters and wardrobes etc. I am however very interested in architectural history and it'd be interesting to know if Paris as depicted here is a correct one. The city was the most powerful Western Christian capital at the time and while I know the overall layout is accurate I'd wanna know if the church was as grand as shown and the walls as high.
I am happy for him
I have heard Alfred the great defeated the vikings. Was he contemporary of Duke Rollo??
Give them their TV series hurry

I don't know how many people know this but him and Ragnar were not Brothersand they were not even from the same time period
Rollo was a +2 MTS height Viking...
and Harold Finehair and long flowing locks of hair and a a huge beard.
Betrayal has no reason, it has a price
Well, even loyalty had a price at those times, and Rollo did risk his life for Ragnar twice: getting tortured by earl Haraldson in s1 and almost killed in wessex by following his brother in s2; he even defended Kattegat and Ragnar's family in s2. What did Ragnar do to rewards those (except for saving his life when he first betrayed him, i'm not forgetting it) in a tangible way? Nothing.
And that was Ragnar's mistake: taking Rollo's loyalty for granted too long.
Charles didn't make this mistake, neither in ep. 8 nor in this scene: and therefore, he obtained his son-in-law's loyalty and respect and never trying to usurp him, in a time when loyalty between family wasn't unfortunately so granted as it should have been.

Does proclaiming him Caesar make him heir to the throne?
Well, it may lead you to believe that: in the late Western Roman Empire, "Caesar" was the title granted to a man associated to the real emperor (called "Augustus") and then he succeded him normally. Furthermore, the Franks used to consider themselves the heirs of the Romans: Charlemagne, this Charles' grandfather, was crowned emperor on 800 aC and he had estabilished the Sacred Roman Empire, which was the continuation of the Western Roman Empire fallen on 476.
Still, the franks had the Salian Law, which estabilished that women couldn't pass the throne to their spouses (in this case Rollo). But to their descendants yes (in this case, the future William Longsword).
Therefore, I think that by proclaiming him "Caesar", the emperor only meant to celebrate him as the greatest general of Frankia.
What I found it was a missed opportunity is that they had abandoned this storyline (i do not consider what happened in s4b and 5 in regard of Rollo: consider me in denial xD!) and never said who effectively was the Emperor after Charles and what exactly happened to him.
pretty much, but more his wife and later (one of the kids ruled)
Rollo was indeed like a reagent.
@@cristinademartini6653 Wait, why is Rollo son William Longsword?
Where does Longsword come from? Isn't his wife a french?
@@cautarepvp2079 Rollo's son in French is Guillaume Longue-Épée (in italian Guglielmo Lungaspada): I spell it in english, as many do. I'm afraid i can't tell you why he was nicknamed that way: i'll do my researches.
Well, yes, his wife was french, but historically Rollo's real partner was Poppa of Bayeux, daughter of the Count of Bayeux whom Rollo had killed, while his marriage to Giselle (the Gisla of this series), daughter of Charles III the Simple, is not proved.
Rollo line would conquer England
King Ecbert: oh shit!
Emperor Charles: "well well, it seems like the descendant of my daughter Gisla and my son in law the norse Rollo has conquered your country and become its king. And it was also thanks to you, who saved his life and influenced the Norses to pillage my kingdom. How strange life is, isn't it, your Highness?"
"King Aelle, king Aethelwulf, queen Kwenthrith, duke Rollo and Duchess Gisla of Normandy laugh their asses off"
Rollo was too large to mount a horse 🐎 so they actually nicknamed him the walker
The way his face looked is reminiscent of how jesus is depicted in the passion of christ
Why is Rollo using a 16th century helm?
Because this show isn't exactly historically accurate
Yeah the costume design is definitely some of my least favorite out of any show or movie
why vikings
come out of the hairdresser ?
Thanks to Rollo presence, the France could be France today. Or they would have Germanic languages like many conquered European nations
Dude, you realize Vikings have almost no influence on languages in Europe?
Gaul was conquered by the Franks in the 5th century, but the Franks despite being a Germanic tribe mixed with local Gallo-Roman aristocracy and converted to christianism. That's why French is a latin language. The same happened with the Wisigoths in Spain or the Ostrogoths/Lombards in Italy. In fact England was the only former Roman territory that adopted a Germanic language and again it has nothing to do with Vikings but Germanic invasions of the 5th century. Britain was less populated so Saxons/Angles/Jutes kept their language and didn't mix as much with indigenous Britons (which were much less romanized and kept their celtic language).
The Vikings happened 5 centuries later and were never in position to conquer anything in continental Europe, they were raiders that made quick attacks and then left with their loot. Even their "conquest" of England was limited and they never outnumbered the local Anglo-saxons.
vikings is a historical fantasy, rollo is not ragnar brother nor did he live in the same period as ragnar, nor did Kattegat city exist, The Rus Did Not Invade Scandinavia (season 6), Ubbe Did Not Discover America or greenland, shieldmaidens existence is still questionable , the attack on Bamburgh, the capital of the Kingdom of Nurthumbria, was in 993, The attack on Paris Ragnar took part to was in 84,. However in this show those things happen in 793, 794, and so on…
the writer of the show himself said many times that its a historical fantasy .
@@ZollaREAL not to mention ragnar never had a cripple for a son in fact Ivar was a hell of a fighter
May Rolo be a lesson you must be open minded , and even betray to get glory in life hard work alone is not enough sadly.
Hard work must also be rewarded, like in this scene.
I’m sorry but Rollo’s helmet is so 16th century
Rollo wanted glory not to help people any of that clearly it shows and not all the Vikings had the same views either
He wanted to be appreciated for once. This is a very human feeling. Not only was he wishing to escape the shadow of his older brother, but to redeem himself of the failures of his past.
This is why he traded his brother.
No, this is why Ragnar was meant to be betrayed by Rollo this time: at those times, if you are an important man who wants your followers loyal to yourself, you have to reward your followers' actions in some way, being them family or not.
OMFG LMAFO!! Im reality Rolo and Ragnar were not related lol

It's an honorific title. With this and this "triumph" (pretty similar to the Roman ones, but with many differences, sinces Romans were pagans, and Franks christians), Charles intended to celebrate Rollo as the greatest general in Western Frankia.
@@cristinademartini6653 i know what it means but why should the king of frankia say "hail caesar" to a viking. i do not get it
@@leokorn1629 well, it's a little hard to explain it. The franks used to consider themselves the heir of the Ancient Roman (this Charles' grandfather, Charlemagne, estabilished the Holy Roman Empire, which he had meant it a continuation to the Western Roman Empire fallen on aD 476 and a contrast with the Eastern one still survived).
Therefore, there are two possibilities: either Charles was going to appoint Rollo as his successor (in this series he had no male heir) or only as his greatest general. I tend for the second one, as the Frank followed the Salian Law which didn't contemplate women passing lands (and therefore thrones) to their husbands, in order to prevent foreigners taking their lands.
This series is VERY FAR from being accurate.
Rollo was such a scumbag.
I think he needs a doctor asap
Mmm, so that's what dynastic marriages were established for, to get support. It turns out that a girl in the ruler's family is a lifebuoy.
Rollo was an empty shell, betraying his own family for another, betraying his own faith for one he didn't believe in, it's sickening.
I mean the Christian Franks gave Rollo more than the Pagan Vikings.. He became richer than his brother and had a happy family and was loved by the Frankish people.
A family who regarded him important, while the other had taken him for granted too much.
He betrayed a people of thugs and r*pists for people who actually respected and honored him.
@@cristinademartini6653 still he betrayed and its not like his brother was terrible to him come on man, the dude fucked his wife and still loved his brother.
@@vincenthammons6705 never said that Ragnar wasn't a bad brother. And for what I believe, Rollo and Lagertha had a thing before she married Ragnar, hence Rollo's feeling of Ragnar being always preferred to him.
Yes Ragnar may have had regarded his brother important, but not as much as it was needed to keep him loyal to him in a time where loyalty in a family was very far from being granted: the emperor, here and in ep 8, did recognize Rollo's efforts in a tangible way; what did he gain? Rollo's total loyalty and respect towards himself.
Rollo wanted just a thing of his own, and people who would love him and choose him: well, the franks and their royalty were those people.
Traitor to his people…I hated this storyline i hate that he got a happy ending..i cant stand Rollo…I could never imagine betraying my family the way he did
Rollo reminds me of Tristan Tate
why is that?
@@MoneybaggMo428 The little brother who did not receive enough spotlight on his own and eventually goes on separate ways to prove his own worth.
Thank god for democracy
hail traitor!!
Call him a traitor but he saved all those innocent civilians
He may be a traitor
But this traitor is the one that save the vikings from extinction!
@@youtubeuser1159 hmmm what about all those innocent civilians france killed during history
@@birsenozgegokce1830 you're Turkish. You guys tried to genocide the Armenians. So by your own logic you have no right to exist I suppose?
Que mala actuacion de gisla, se estaba riendo en vez de llorar jahajajajaja
PSG 🤮
This series should be callled "Christians" instead of "Vikings".
Who wants a spinoff/prequel about the Franks and the Normans? Me🙋♀️
There were plenty of Christian Vikings. Some of their greatest achievements happened post christianization.
So he become christian?
In part he did. I believe he ended worshipping both the Christian god and his gods. Remember what he told Flok about alliances between gods of different faiths after he appreciated Aethelwulf's attempt to"make friends" with them.
@@cristinademartini1284 I didn't watch a show so sorry for not knowing exactly what are you refering to...
Whose idea was to use 16th century helmets? 🤡
The same one who had the idea of having Rollo and Ragnar as sibling and this Frank emperor Charles II the Bald, when in real history the one who did the treaty with Rollo was Charles III the Simple.
If you want historical accuracy, unfortunately this series is misplaced xD!
I was rooting for Rollo to die right at the beginning. What a horrible character, Bjorn should have killed him right then, he betrayed them twice. So hail, hail the traitor. Ambition ahead of the family! Trash for trash, I prefer the Nordics a thousand times over the Franks!
What happened here used to happen since the dawn of history. And at the end Rollo got Normandy, Ragnar was still king of Norway: they were even. Cope with that.
Rollo is based on a real person a viking that that went to Paris and was given land he was the first duke of Normandy and the 3rd great grandfather to King William I The Conqueror of England a lot of whats in the show is correct some isn't he wasn't Ragnar's brother I'm a real history buff here is link en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollo
Ролло предел своей братья
