Ragnar’s overall arc seems to fall closely in line with what the Vikings TV show depicted. In my opinion, Vikings has done a great job condensing an elaborate story, comprised of legends and reality. As you hope some of your favorite Vikings characters make one last appearance, there is even more to contemplate in regards to the series’ historical accuracy. Vikings’ creator, Michael Hirst, has explained that he believes he has brought that story to a close with Season 6 hence the decision to end the show. For multiple seasons, the thrilling drama has brought the legend of Ragnar (Travis Fimmel) and his sons into focus.

Of course, knowing the full truth continues to be an escalating archeologic journey unearthing new surprises.Īs for the History series, we've already seen the new trailer, which teased the beginning of the series’ epic final chapter. Some of the significant bits are covered here. As you can tell from watching Vikings, there is a rich backdrop of stories, people, places, and events to research. The real history surrounding the series’ storylines does not end here. Vikings accurately depicts Alfred as suffering from illness, which remains true to life and other TV renderings of the character.
Vikings takes it a step further by having Aethelred (Darren Cahill) and Alfred’s mother, Judith (Jennie Jacques), murder her own son, in a bid to secure Alfred’s already-in-progress reign.
The Vikings TV show has Alfred already being King when Aethelred is killed. In real life, Alfred only succeeded his brother to the throne after Aethelred died. They are shown having no other legitimate brothers. In Vikings, Alfred (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) only has one older brother - Aethelred. Historically speaking, Alfred the Great is considered the biological son of King Aethelwulf of Wessex.Īlfred the Great was also the youngest of five sons. The Vikings TV show portrays Alfred the Great as the illegitimate offspring of then-Prince Aethelwulf’s wife (Judith), and the Anglo-Saxon monk-turned-Viking-turned-monk-again, Athelstan (George Blagden). The Vikings TV show gives a nod to this story without it playing into any long-term relationship issues.Īlfred The Great Had A Different Origin Story It stems from his underlying distrust of Lagertha after she had beasts attack him on their sort-of-first-date. Ragnar Lothbrok’s decision is not entirely lust-centric in the legend. However, Ragnar leaves Lagertha for King Herodd’s wife, Thora, and not Aslaug, as was the case on Vikings. Ragnar and Lagertha also divorce in Saxo’s tale. They also have three children – two daughters and the son, who is not Bjorn. Key differences between Vikings’ Lagertha and Saxo’s include that Lagertha meets Ragnar while helping him win a battle. How in keeping is the Vikings TV show's version of the legendary Lagertha? She is mentioned as (“Ladgerda”) by Saxo Grammaticus in The Danish History/Book IX. As her “redefining” final chapter is about to unfurl, a question looms. Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) is an incredibly popular character on Vikings who is primarily based on the legend of her namesake.

In related news, Lagertha and Ragnar’s son was actually a guy named Fridleif. On Vikings, Bjorn has a possible brother in Ragnar’s maybe-son with Kwenthrith.
In the legend, Bjorn also has two other brothers in Eric and Agnar. Aslaug (Alyssa Sutherland) is, and the shocks do not end there! Ivar (Alex Hogh Andersen) is Bjorn’s older brother! It is tough to imagine given their bond on the TV show, but according to the classic take, Lagertha is not Bjorn’s mother. Vikings r eportedly made two considerable changes from the legend. In the legend, he is a power player, and he is still one in the Vikings TV show.

The series has told a compelling version of his story with a few twists and turns, including Bjorn's heritage. Unlike Floki and Rollo, let’s focus on how the legend of Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig) differentiates from Vikings' rendering. (Image credit: Jonathan Hession / History) Bjorn’s Legend Status Is Different
