Plot

The third season will allow viewers to feel the atmosphere of the fearless vikings’ exploits in an even clearer manner. They put everything at stake for the sake of the power. Ragnar, the tireless warrior and a family man, acts as a leader who aims to explore and invade the lands which are to the other side of the sea. He has become an Earl, which gives Ragnar more power. The leader wants to sail off to the west in order to discover the new kingdoms which had yet been unexplored.

The new characters are Bjorn, played by Alexander Ludwig (The Hunger Games), who is Ragnar’s son, a clever and brave warrior, and Ecbert, played by Linus Roache (The Chronicles of Riddick). Ecbert is a king of the Wessex country, a strong man who doesn’t hide his ambitions.

Interesting Facts

Danish Vikings were famous for their cruelty: even their relatives wanted nothing to do with them. They executed priests, raped and kidnapped women, and murdered everybody who tried to resist.

According to the research, the Vikings used to invade new lands exclusively for the sake of profit. They knew their advances in battles and realized this would make them richer and more respected than agriculture.

There is no proof that Ragnar Lothbrok ever existed.
