Its an entertaining show but its a bit of a stretch to call it history. Still good enough for watching.
I think Ragnar’s brother is experiencing an eye problem. I like the show.
I have been watching, last two eps on dvr. Viking women can hold their own.
Name me any show that isn't a bit of a stretch to call history. Does this show have some historical inaccuracies? Yes, but they've also showed some fairly accurate historical data as well (I was impressed with the monks actually speaking Middle English, with modern English subtitles)...
the infowarrior
Actually, there was a guy named ragnar who did become king, many of the things in the show are historical. wikipedia ragnar and read , its kind of cool.
PS: the wife, the "shield maiden", she actually existed and was a ferocious warrior just like on the show
well, great episode. and that little rat that was the asistant of the earl got killed.
the brother got cut up, but i guess he is alive.
as far as the snake pit goes, that apparently is accurate, and eventually that is where Ragnar ends his days.
great episode
