Lesson learned: Don't kill a man who had many sons
And, most of all the sons were also killed or had to escape ( Bjorn when attacked by the Saraceens near the Strait of Gibraltar , escaped to Sweden ) and the exception is Ivarr Ragnarsson which died in Dublin, Eire, from a violent fever and infection... around 873.
@@RayB1656 Wait didn't he apparently got so rich out of sacking Dublin that he returned to Scandinavia and then died
Btw genuinely asking since some sources says he either died in Dublin or Scandinavia
@@bernardosaldana9982 ---- I believe your are referring to Bjorn Ironside, where after attacking both Pisa and Luna and later, escaping the Saracens, at Gibraltar, which destroyed most of his fleet of longships, Bjorn lived a rich man in Sweden. -----Concerning Ivarr Ragnarsson and his death in Dublin , it is mentioned from the Icelandic Sagas, Anglo-Saxons chronicals and other Norse' sagas , mostly from around the 12th century, many hundred years after the events. Dublin was an important Viking center and Ivarr was often called a ''berserker'' ! After raiding some regions of ''England'' especially in East Anglia and Scotland, Ivarr is said to have died from a severe and sudden infection, probably dysentery, in 873 , in Dublin, Eire ! ----However, since nothing was written during his lifetime, your guess is as good as mine ! Sagas were often embellished and the exact historic events might never be known !
@@RayB1656 Oh I see thanks for the response

King Aelle "Their army isn't so big..."
Also king Aelle "Why do I hear boss music?"
HILARIOUS AND ORIGINAL
Because Floki Appears hahaha
@@iamme8418 fucking love it
YES YES YES
*a wild floki appears.
Escape is not possible at this time.
I love how Harald and his brother always looked at each other and chuckled before the battle...zero fear ...for themselves or the outcome...
They win or they go to Valhalla in their view they can't lose
There's nothing stronger than a man who doesn't fear death.
the
They knew they were being filmed thats why
@@SJ-xb7lg true, but the thing of valhalla is very true, it was an honor to die in battle, all men wanted such an honorable death. as we thought that we would go to valhalla with other legendary warriors and feats in its halls. yes im half nordic half swedish, i think one aspect that help this idea was how hard life was in the cold north during those times, so death was often seen as a release for all your burdens.
While everyone else is screaming war cries and smiling and laughing, Bjorn and Floki just look so angry and are in pure rage since they knew Ragnar the longest and were the closest to him. Floki was one of Ragnar’s best friends and Bjorn was his eldest child and spent a lot of time with him and learned a lot from him
Technically Bjorns his second child. Gyda was the oldest till she died
Floki WAS Ragnarxs best friend.
@@jonnystorm3127bjorn was older than gyda
I think Bjorn was special because Ragnar had not come to power for most of his childhood. Everyone else knew him only as Earl or King
@@anthonyskata exactly. To everyone else, king aella is the man who killed the most legendary viking of their time but to bjorn, aella killed his father and to floki, he killed his best friend
dude who plays Floki is SUCH a good actor, you believe his hatred 100%. if he'd had to go and avenge Ragnar alone, Aella STILL would have died
its gustav skarsgård, hes brother alexander skargård is Eric Northman and there brother Bill skarskård, is IT and stellan skarsgård there father is Erik Selvig
@@sebbelp vampire?
@@santiagogalarza1919 alexander was Eric Northman in true blood. When i read what i typed i get confused my self.
sebastian krejlgaard I would have loved it if Alexander could be in the show in some capacity. He looks nothing like Gustav, so they could easily play separate characters, and he’s the most Viking looking of the brothers.
Agree but who wasn't great in this series? Amazing performances across the board imo.
When you kill a "King" and they respond by sending nearly their entire country at you.
I know it’s not fashionable to say because everyone bums vikings but you know they eventually lost to the Saxons right? 1066 was not a good year for them.
Saxons were actually defeated by the Normans, not the Vikings
@@OllieSmythable Rollo from Normandy say's hi.

Shout out to the guy playing Bjorn... his intimidation level is over 9000, and Bjorn's bloodlust is practically inhuman! Bone chilling how he walks up with that look on his face that said "I am Bjorn Ironside, eldest son of Ragnar Lothbrok, and I am here to KILL."
Basically: I'm Bjorn Ironside, U killed my father, prepare to die
Salahuddin(Kingdom of Heaven) "A King does not kill a King!

When Aella sáw the infathomale WRATH of the Vikings, for what hé did, he knew there was no escaping.
The seething rage from ivar, floki, and Bjorn made this scene amazing. You could see Flokis actor on the verge of tears while he screamed
Ivar's a punk. He's screaming bloody venom while not advancing towards the enemy by a single step. He could have rode around and attacked their rear, but noooo. Mommas boy.
Hearing the whole army roar "ragnar" gives me chills everytime
@KeV B ok

@@rohandasnullRA its a series called Vikings
@@champagnepapi10 ohh that famous series...I see...thanks man
exactly
I feel sorry for those Vikings at the rear of the formation, the battle would probably end before they could even reach the middle of the field.
that's so true
I'd run out of breath running to the battle at that charge in the beginning before I'd reach the actual battle.
Well that way they would have avoided getting injured or killed. To shout and scream a big game when you outnumber the enemy ten to one is one thing.
@@guynxtdork to die in battle was The greatest gift for vikings

Also king Aelle:

Its ment to be entertaining, not historically accurate.
Like a stalking predator.
Floki being told by Ragnar that he loves him… and Ragnar saving floki from drowning. You can see the anger and hate. Dudes a good actor paired with good writing. This is awesome
I love how King Aelle seems confident of victory at the beginning, and his arrogant laughter slowly disappears as more and more warriors joined in. Always makes me laugh 😂
Floki's arrival with giant steps and Metal at the background... SO EPIC
Floki is motivated, now he knows RAGNAR loved him after all
Shit got real
Badass!
Come to Floki!
That's not metal dude
Floki stole the entire scene; I never would’ve guessed that silly giggling ship builder would become such a conquering badass!
Floki went to beast mode after Ragnars death
@@sn-oh1db Get a life. It’s just a movie.
Floki is crazy perhaps, but he's also a kind respecting and helpful person!
Its when these kinds of people throw their humanity aside, to do what must be done, you're facing the most determined and most dangerous monsters in existance!
You thought his axe-affiliation was restricted to building boats?
@@Non-Serviam300 Get a life, it's tv series
1:10 the way floki walks at this moment makes me feel his sense of dominance and revenge. A pure predator.
The clip of Floki striding up the hill is brilliant He alone could have taken care of Aella
You know you are truly a great man when EVERYONE wants revenge for you and their battle cry is just your name "RAGNAR!"
Thousands of Vikings, sprinting at you and screaming the name of the man you killed.. 😬
When even your rivals come out to avenge you.
Ragnars death gathered a larger army than when he was alive... moral of the story: someone's true value comes when he/she is gone.
Thats the case with todays rappers after they die
@@alex360c Lemmy(RIP) of Motorhead said that it's amazing how much better a guitar player becomes after he dies.

It was at this moment that King Aella knew...
He fucked up.
He underestimated the heathen army.
Also great acting from King Aella. The way he looks, posessed by fear, intensifies all the scene.
I’ve watched this one scene 10 times now. I get chills every time the music hits and floki appears.
Just 10....those are rookie numbers my friend😂
that scene with floki walk in front of army is epic
He looks like an insane neurotic wolf.
Always remind me Zeke from Ice Age. :D
eye of lion like a manga
Eye of Lion.. I thaught exactly the same ! Really cool scene with that music behind 🤘🏿
eye of lion Floki is always epic.
And look now at how hes been reduce too
One man was so loved and so respected that his death bought the forces of an entire country down on his killer
Not only one country...
Actually 3 countries, but not all of them. 3 viking kings with famous Ragnar sons.
The way floki walked gives me chill
The fact that an entire country of Vikings came to fight for Ragnar proves how much respect they had for him. Unlike the kingdoms in England who were all separate like Aelle and his kingdom here. Maybe if he had support from Ecbert, he probably could’ve won the fight or at least do a huge number on the Vikings.
Ecbert + Aelle could have won. They would probably still be outnumbered, but they would be defenders and could take advantage of the overconfidence of the attackers shown here.
3:08 you can hear someone screaming RAGNARRR. Thats so dope.
Ivar screams it to I think
I heard an ad.
Literally why I looked this scene up i fucking loved it ! 🤟🤟🤟
Loved it

floki looked like a beast in this episode
totally lol, the way he walked reminded me of the bigfoot tape xD
Kay Crawford is he gonna be a muslim?
probably not he may find a lot of interest in the religion through that girl but if there sticking to history then floki will discover and inhabit Iceland like the one in real life did
i guess he will realise about belobog and cernobog. Its really similiar - i mean slavic svarog veles perun compared to odin thor loki
Floki is nothing but a pussy
Everybody gangsta until The Great Heathen Army shows up.
Ask the mongols!
The Vikings are overrated.
Ask dothrakis + unsullied
@@KruglugBadax yeah they weren’t that good. People worship them like they were amazing warriors when there was nothing special about them. They were only deadly because of their mobility on water allowing them to strike at villages and towns quickly so the enemy was unaware and couldn’t summon a large army to fight them. I’ll give it to them that they were smart with hit and run tactics but when facing off against a Saxon army of near equal size they would lose most of the time because Saxons were mostly just better trained.
@@unga8588 just makes me laugh because the Romans were battering these barbarians like a knife through butter - Vikings, Gauls, Brits, Spain, but for some reason the Vikings are much adored.
In terms of the Saxons, they crushed the Vikings, Scots, Irish in 1 battle called Brunanburh. That just about badass the the Saxons were. I give them much more credit than the Vikings
I always love the fact king said “Not so great army afterall my lord" until floki arrive his whole f*king face change😂😂😂😂😂
The Way Bjornn Just Stares While Everyone Is Shouting Their War Cry Was Just Amazing. He Know's They're Going To Win And He's Going To Enjoy Killing That Guy.

The way that Flokie is getting his adrenaline to pump so that he can go besekar is incredible!

I have watched this a million times and I still get goosebumps every time I see Floki walk and boss music plays
Fasho that shit was epic af🔥
He's got daggers and I was always had the impression he rather slice a throat from the back when they fighting heads up with someone else. I don't see him rushing a skilled swords men.

you know that Bjorn is the most badass when he's the only one who's not doing a battle cry, but looks pissed as fuck.

1:46 Ivar in that chariot and the boss music baseline kicks in, pretty badass
1:16 amazing seeing his facial expression just change, he sees floki and all the other vikings and just instantly realised he’s fucked
I love how everyone is roaring and Bjorn is like "Boss Mode" :)
Commander CheapSkate reminds me of Ragnar
He looked pissed af.
If you’re in a fight and your opponent doesn’t yell and just looks at you this way, just run. The guy has focused so much on the ass beating he’s about to deliver, he doesn’t even bother to yell.
Thought Bjorn was the weakest, floki killed it though.

amazing that the anger ivar had was so much at 3:45 his left leg grew bones and lifted it on its own.
Thats what ragnar meant
How the little pigs will grunt when the old boar suffered
He had his revenge with aelle for killing his farmer and his death
No shit sherlock😂😂
I don't know, after the battle when they were dragging Aelle to the place of Ragnars death, I think that scene was what Ragnar meant about them finding out about how the old boar suffered
The daughter told her father, he killed everyone when Ragnar died an she wasn’t lying!

It all started in the Summer of Aught Seven, in the Kingdom of Wessex...
"..they are cruel, and will not show mercy" Well, he wasnt wrong about that part.
I was reading the comment at the same time i heard it in the scene
Every human is cruel, thats part of the human nature
Floki No shield, no sword, just a "tomahawk" or two , crazy war paint, striding onto the battle field - Awesome
The music building up as more and more vikings appear on the hill gives me goosebumps every time
I came in my pants when everyone charged shouting "Ragnar!"

Never took King Aelle for one with balls that size. He fought, he didn't run.
There's no outrunning a massive army of that size solely out to get you for revenge.
dennis123138 yes there is. You’re all on horses and they are all on foot apart from some cripple. Even if they tried to fire their arrows, you’d be gone before they can get an accurate hit. He should have just ran, but not to his castle. They would simply attack that. Run and hide somewhere and live a normal life on the down low. Finding him would have been like looking for a needle in a haystack. If possible he could have even left the country and gone to France or any other country. The viking idiots would have just kept looking for him in England

Floki looks like a badass in this scene
Floki doesn't look like a badass. Floki is a badass.
3:11 idk what it is but folks scream always gets me emotional. Actor of so good at showing folks emotions pour out here
The most interesting part of it all is that this really happened. The Vikings did avenge Ragnars death and ravaged England for several years to come. It wasn't untill Alfred the Great defeated the remaining army years after they first came that the war was over. It was also after this that the vikings settled in England.
"Oh how the little piggies will grunt, when they hear how the old boar suffered."
The fact that the death of one man spawned massive amounts of Norsemen to band together and avenge him is just amazing, and just what he wanted. His sons, his friends, his people all coming together to achieve what he never could was his plan all along. Ragnar Lothbrok really was the embodiment of a legend. Not just a man, but truly a legend. HAIL KING RAGNAR
Well said Foopa san.
In this show, yeah.
how the little piggies will grunt when they hear how the old boar suffered
I love it how thy shout “ Ragnar” right when they charge remanding of soldiers who and what they’re fighting for. Brilliant!
First folki walking up like the darth Vader of the Viking army as 1 of only 2 (the other rollo) of Ragnars original crew at the beginning of the show just intensified this scene instantly!
Second I seriously start laughing every time they show Halfdans big folki grin when they charge is like Halfdan becoming bjorns folki in the making lol
Everyone complaining that they wanted to see the battle, like no thats the point, this was no battle, it was a slaughter that would have been over in seconds. The main point of this episode was to show that the great army has finally arrived in England and to make Aella squeal. The real battle is yet to come. Vikings has never disappointed.
Red Molaric Thank you! Finally someone who understand it! tje main point was the arrive of the armie and everybody who is complaining about that should definitley wait for episode 19 and 20 where the huge battle between the GHA and the armies of Athelwulf will happen!
Spot on comment!!!! This was a great scene and I keep coming back to see it again. Floki coming up over the hill ... and that walk .... awesome. Ivar plowing in front of the great army. The backdrop scene of the great army ... R-A-G-N-A-R!!!!!! Wow!!!!!
The fact that they don't show it just lets the viewer imagine the one-sided ass kicking that took place. In a lot of ways I find that better. Don't get me wrong I love me a good battle scene, but leaving it to the imagination just makes it all the more awesome.
+Red Molaric Indeed. Aella was outnumbered 10:1 or even worse, his men were quivering in their boots at the sight of the viking-onslaught, where the viking's spirit was lifted even higher(as if they needed any more adrenaline-boasting). The 'battle' would have been 1 short march of the Vikings going 1 side to the other... To be fair, the last shot, before we go to Ivar in his chariot, the main charge,... that would have lasted 10-15 seconds at most... some cuts, some murderous screaming.... over... Hardest part of this fight from a viking PoV woudld be the cápture of King Aella, with thát many zealously vengeful warriors willing to kill anything saxon.
Was it a slaughter or rape ?
I love how they didn't show the battle. I mean, there was hardly a need, they were massively outnumbered and the Vikings were out for vengeance for their King, which only intensifies their strength. Not to mention the King even said he doesn't even think God can help them, which spelled doom for them even before it started. I loved this scene, I loved how everyone rolled deep to avenge Ragnar.
Still 10:1 odds are beatable in the right conditions. The Romans beat Boudicca, the Greeks the much more massive Persian army several times, etc. Just because you have an overwhelming majority doesn't mean you can just run up to your enemy with no tactics and expect to win.
If the english had slightly more cavalry here and well organized shield formations the vikings could have been in trouble.
@@dekippiesip No chance they had 0 morale and their leader is a coward/idiot with no tactical plan.
