The Norman story line is seriously underrated I'm rather disappointed that when Rollo came back not one of the Vikings who came with them joined him, I mean its not just Rollo who practically became the progenitor of all Normans in Normandy if anything its him and many Viking captains and sailors who intermarried with the Franks and the surviving Romano-Gallic celts to form what is now Normandy.
I think by the time Rollo became the progenitor of all Normans, the Roman-Gallo community didn't exist any more. It was completely absorbed by the Franks imo
@@giorgiociaravolol1998 I think it was the opposite, the Franks that were absorbed into the Gallo-Roman culture. Even tho the country were named after Franks, the culture and language still largely Gallo-Roman
It might have been underrated if they actually did credit to the normans, but they butchered the beginning of the normans by having Rollo betray and slaughter his own men and leech of someone else's accomplishment.
I don’t think Ragnar has many known descendants after his sons. I mean, every one of Bjorn’s children literally died, Hvitserk had no children, Ivar’s one and only son is probably a disgusting Rus Christian warrior, and Ubbe’s son Ragnar probably lives in America. What’s more is that nobody even knows that they exist in Vikings: Valhalla.
@@WhoTao-nm1uw dont forget that ubbe's son grows up in America. A settlement that will be abondaned in the future and alot of people will died. Lets hope that it is not ragnar the son of ubbe that is going to died
I have zero idea what people were expecting from her when her entire arc is pretty contained in a single season. The story couldn't stay in Paris when the Grand Heathen Army was going to become the focus.
Man floki was maaaaaad af at rollo hf the way he said traitor just rolls off his tongue so nice 👌 WE HAVE 60 SHIPS OUTSIDE YOUR PORTS FULL OF VIKINGS DONT YOU THINK THEY WILL COME KNOCKING IF WE DONT RETURN?!
Floki was in my top 3, and his best characteristic outside his intelligence and his dedication to his culture is definitely his loyalty. Anyone that might stand against his people or interlope into their affairs is immediately an enemy, and although Floki can bang he isn't the best warrior, more like an assassin with those dual knives and his skinny, lanky build, but regardless it's on sight. That kind of loyalty is so rare, in any man, across any time period.
Floki making that face at William makes me think that this is more of an interaction between Gustaf Skarsgard and whoever the child is who played William.
@Xsanther They could've instead of focusing all resources on a longer trip to the Mediterranean, just raided up and down the coast of frankia, They wouldnt need to attack paris. They could've established a couple danelaw types of strongholds and wintered there, They could block rivers and Essentially starve them down to weaker numbers . Sickened and emaciated, Men wouldnt be able to hold them selves up in full linen chainmail armor. Led alone raise a sword in combat , All the franks had was high ground and ranged weapons. Which just requires patients. And tactics, Have 100 very skilled archers perch up in a tree line near an archer tower or 2 and just take shots, (Distraction) The goal is to get them to use as many bolts as possible, while taking the least amount casualties, guerilla warfare if you will ... Stretch out the battle for days or weeks, attack in small burst to weaken their forces and use up their ammo while not loosing many men.. Sooner or later, that bears gotta come down from the tree . And meet the wolves, which gives the Vikings the home field advantage, because they been already studied and control where the battlefield is gonna be. Id say after a month or 2 of that. Focus everything on a full scale siege of paris. The first battle was lost because floki planned it out. It was blunt and str8 forward , that dont work in mid evil frankia..
Floki is actually the last of the dying breed of extremist Vikings who intend to stick to their culture and values. By the time Rollo was instated as the Duke of Normandy, many many Danes and Norse migrated to Normandy where there is fantastic farmland, good weather and peace and stability. They had zero qualms in making a good life for themselves in the 900s, while providing the necessary northern defense of the Seine against further Viking incursions deep into Francia. It's a tremendous deal for Rollo and his descendants that they were willing to pledge fealty for their next generations and probably until forever to the Western Francia king and his down line. Conversion to Christianity wasn't a problem for the Vikings as the uptake really was almost instantaneous from Duke to Lords and to the common Vikings. It was as if within a few short decades, they completely assimilated to becoming Frankish albeit with that tinge of Viking in them that is their north men looks and their never ending quest to prosper, to travel and to combat, especially among each other. By the 1000s, overpopulation meant many Norman families gave up their farms, lands and territories to become mercenaries for the Southern European Dukes in South Italy, in Spain. For example the famous and highly successful de Hauteville family, continuing Rollo's legacy of travelling and working for powerful Dukes to carve our their own future and kingdom. This is something actually very Viking about the Normans, and it shows their ability to transcend cultures, transcend languages and carve out their great ambition to dominate and assimilate and become even greater than before.
Actually Rollo wasn't Ragnar's brother, historical Rollo really became duke of Normandy and was a great-grandfather of William Conquerer but in TV series he is his father
No, it's not him, William II the bastard was born from a illegitimate mother and the duke of Normandy Robert the magnificent . The william here is william the first, historically, the next ruler after Rollon.

Not only did Rollo, predict the future... He was a divine warrior, and he learned. Learned! What the Vikings refused to do. The Latin... The other Religions.. The Ways of Others.. and Reasons... And he always... Deep down... Kept his faith in his original faith.. Thor was in his heart.
How many times has he stabbed Ragnar and his fellow Vikings in the back? Ragnar always forgave him to a certain degree but he never forgot and never turned his back on him
Rollo basically trained bjorn into becoming a warrior . Bjorn knows rollo and in a way they’ve always had a bond . It was a well calculated risk bjorn had to take , the others didn’t understand and thought he was a fool
Thanks for the forecast! 📊 Just a small off-topic question: 😅 I only have these words 🤔. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Not sure how to use them, would appreciate help. 🙏
I love the show, i really do but the show's creators have squeezed over 2 hundred years of history into what seems like a MUCH shorter period of time. Taking the piss a bit!
This show made no sense. France gives up its throne to a Viking because they are afraid? When their army is more modern and only reason they lost the first time was because Ragnar sneaked in.
Totally based on history. The French monarch did not give up his throne, he created an Earldom that encompassed the northern lands of France and gave it to Rollo so that he would have Vikings protecting him from other Vikings. He wasn't worried about attacks on Paris, he wanted the raiding on his North shore to stop. Rollo made it stop.
Ragnar’s kingdom should be title , ragnar kept his knife on kings neck , ragnar kept knife on gisla’s neck had he killed them rollo would not become the king nor rollo’s descend will be born , but he left both of them alive out of mercy as he did to rollo
No. Its a couple hundred years too early for that. The william he's referring to was known to history as william longsword. He succeeded rollo and was assassinated in 942
Saves Paris, becomes Duke of Normandy, fathers three children with a French princess, has no one around him to speak any other language with... yet still can't pronounce French for shit. If they were building up to this, following history 'n all, then they could've at least given the actor some French lessons over the years so he could come across as mildly convincible. Lazy details don't impress audiences.
That's not French that Rollo is speaking, and they are Franks at this time not French and the language they are speaking is most likely Old French or Frankish which are dead languages.
Ulquiorra Cifer, Hey man, that would be great if that was actually the point of my original message, but it wasn't. French, Old French, who cares, they must've called it regular French back in their day anyway. I was talking about the lack of effort they had put into representing it. Keep up. And if they couldn't be bothered with Old French, I'm sure modern day French would still have been better than whatever this is. and Κικιώνης Κωνσταντίνος He's not learning the entire language, just a few sentences in a few scenes, sentences which he doesn't even have to understand, only pronounce. The 3+ years leading up to this season should be sufficient to nail that.
Once they turned Rollo into a coward and turncoat I turned off the show. I don’t mind using his story in the show but all he did was make us hate the French even more, if possible.
Oh it's possible .. I play a game called sea of thieves and when I come across another ship and hear them talking French down the mic I try to destroy them with everything I have got

In reality as well Rollo's descendants ended up unifying England, something none of the descendants of Ragnar ever came to be able to do.

Not only unify England but also become the ancestor of many European Monarchies

She does nothing of importance in history so what would be the point? Gislas only real mark on history was having children with Rollo nothing else.
A shame, as Norman wives were often more involved in things than typical of other Christian Europeans
I love when the little boy sticks his tongue out at Floki,and Floki’s face 😂
1:21
Floki: 🤨
William: 😝
Floki: 😑... not bad kid.
I always wondered why Gisla sounds way more "modern french" than the other franks...
because television!
because the actress is french, and it is her actual french accent
@@koubajin3 she is polish
@@kristsavots6850
Her father is Polish. Her mother is French. She was born in Paris and grew up in France. Most likely, French is her mother tongue.
Because she is French and is quite hard to rid that accent.
