I’m guessing they did that in correlation to earlier season when Ragnar said power is dangerous it corrupts the best. Regardless ya I wasn’t a fan of him “being a God”
Yeah they should have had Ivar and Hvitserk keep raiding parts of England the remainder of the show and while Bjorn and Ubbe fought Harold for Katagat and which eventually Harold would win and Bjorn and Ubbe would have to return to England at the mercy of there much more powerful brother Ivar. Or something like that lol
First battle of York I think is when ubbe in his mind decided he wanted more then raiding. His father always wanted more also and you never saw him kill many innocents. Multiple times we saw him hide people or let them go. I think ubbe was the same exact way. Show version obviously not talking real life/history
You realize there’s no “real life/history” to tie with this show, right? The only historical accuracy ever displayed on this drama is that it was on the History channel and that Alfred the Great and Rollo definitively did exist, though at different times, along with Ivar the Boneless dying in a battle in England, though not against Alfred the Great. Rollo wasn’t Ragnar’s brother and Ragnar very possibility never actually existed and he was just a sort of boogeyman/idol created to credit many famous deeds. The Great Heathen Army was real but very different. Ragnar’s final “piggies” line is said to have actually been said by him, or some other great Viking, but that’s it and it wasn’t the catalyst for the Great Heath Army. It was missionaries success in Scandinavia. We can say with almost absolute certainty none of Ragnar’s “sons” were biologically his too. Fame drove pagan-Scandinavian culture a life choices. Claiming to be a Ragnarsson automatically made you a figure of fame. For every Halfdan (who Hvitserk is based on,) Ubbe, Bjorn, Sigurd, and Ivar, there were hundreds to thousands of failed “sons.” Apparently Bjorn, Halfdan, and Ivar didn’t even want to claim the fake legitimacy, when you’re a Viking (which is a profession. Not a culture or a people) and you become very famous, it’s assumed and agreed upon you must have legendary parentage. So, Ragnar, a figure so famous and accomplished that it’s not even known, or likely, he was real in the way history has painted him, is a good choice to claim as ancestor. In fact, it’s factually impossible these “brothers” existed all together at any point in time… Moral of the story, you’re watching a drama that is far removed from any sense of real history. It’s great, much less so since losing Ragnar but was usually still watchable, and I love it as Travis Fimmel’s performance is one of my top 3 in any tv series I’ve ever seen (mostly everyone’s acting is good to great, but he is incredible. To think he came straight from working farms not far away from where I spend my summers (I live in Chicago and Detroit, split, but I summer in Melbourne or Sydney. His family farm is in between the two in the more outback apparently) walked into a modeling agency in LA with one shoe, and decade later he gave us Ragnar. Wild talent.) But anyway, this is all nonsense lol. I was born in Älesund, Norway. Most of my family is still there (naturally. No one experiences any of our Scandinavian countries and doesn’t want to stay forever… except I wanted to make a lot of money and America has the best opportunities for that. Anyway, we’d do watch parties while the show was airing. Feels like such a long time ago, but we’re all still 28-32, me the youngest, but we Scandinavians loved this show. Accents (I guess Skarsgard did A LOT help with the cast on that,) the paganism and spirit, the reaction to essentially discovering outside worlds and gods, the hardiness and despite it being mostly Ragnar, our ancestors were curious people, not just bloodthirsty. DEFINITIVELY no worse than most others like Portugal, France, Spain, all the Mediterranean, and of course, England (they painted us savagely because we were the only entity more than capable of inflicting what they would inflict on all others, onto them.) Scandinavians also promoted true equal rights between men and women over a millennia before it fully caught on, basic hygiene practices like regular bathing and tooth brushing: Scandinavian, specifically Nordic, blending hair (most Scandinavians were ginger and blonde, but were always depicted as blonde because hair bleach,) soap, so many things proving were not just savages. End of the day though, this series is absolutely pure fiction. Next to no historical realism or even attempts, but it respects Scandinavian culture beyond thinking we were all bloodthirsty rapists so we all loved it.

These battle scenes are some of the best I've seen. Alex Andersen is a phenomenal actor, so unhinged 😳🙈🖤🔥🤘
i liked the battles and how both sides fight so hard for the damn city
When you have to shoot, shoot, don’t talk those are best chance of killing the bonus
9:26 pretty terrifying to hear those two soldiers groan in pain
Always coming back to this, before they butchered Ivar's character with that stupidity of him trying to be a god.

Loved the show, but I saw no purpose in a crippled man riding in a chariot in battles, especially in what was urban warfare in York. Dumb....
