You are travelling to England with Ragnar for the first time, what would you take with you?

[@waseejafri7301]

My axe

[@raquelsantos1998]

xD

[@PrimeVideoUK]

Gimli is that you?

[@StephanShreve-vv2dx]

I would take the Edda & an axe

[@jarraandyftm]

Weird that I can’t click to stop seeing Amazon recommendations on youtube…

[@jhonmiths1344]

The only two reasons Ragnar spared Athelstan was because he spoke the language and two he saved a book he saw that they both valued knowledge over money

[@mr.pasuli3291]

ragnars curiosity saved athelstan

[@ahrimanahrimanovich2302]

You know vikings didn't use books at this age?

[@WhoThisMonkey]

Curiosity caused me to skip so many scenes. Annoying character, wish he wasn't in it.

[@fuzzyx2face]

@@ahrimanahrimanovich2302they probably had a vague understanding of what it was. When Ragnar looked at it and saw text, he could figure out there was information on the paper.

[@TC-be7kx]

the treasure the vikings was after was gold and silver peals, when someone saves a book, you hold onto that idea of a man.

[@ulisesaranda6987]

Gysla fell in love with Rollo when she heard him speak French. Ragnar fell in love with Athelstan when he heard him speak Norse.

[@ophirbactrius8285]

That's pretty savages! Isn't it? ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[@anonaka131]

So to make my you fall in love with me I need to speak your language? That's a small price to pay! ❤

[@theannouncer5538]

Bro was immensely lucky that Ragnar found him and not literally anyone else that was there😂

[@yavuz9038]

one could argue that Vikings were even luckier that Ragnar found him. Knowledge Athelstan gave Ragnar was priceless and later foundation of what Vikings became.

[@ulisesaranda6987]

Find someone who looks at you the way Ragnar looks at Athelstan.

[@PrimeVideoUK]

We second that! 👏 kzbin.inforfI-ZDX95PA

The begin of the biggest bromance in the Vikings series.

[@alphagamer9505]

Looking at Ragnar here, just comes to mind, they Absolutely nailed Ubbe casting, he looks so much like ragnar in s1

[@lucaspanasski331]

Yes and no

[@brokenangal]

Agreed

[@theonefrancis696]

Love how Ragnar immediately pulls his hand back after Laef says "is there some spell?". Fimmel was great in this role.

[@Johnny-rj9on]

Nice catch

[@corbusier55clem48]

Athelstan represents the knowledge ragnar wanted to get...

[@Jay-n262]

Rollo was never known for his thinking skills!

[@jakep1979]

Until he joined the French.

[@barbarablue2571]

Ragnar suffered a true crush on Athelstan since the first moment!

[@KermitOfWar]

It was love at first sight.

[@Popgeekhorror]

Yes it is he lost his mind after that 😢

[@tferreira2718]

The best friendship ever!!!

[@barbarablue2571]

love!

[@jakep1979]

Still a better love story than Twilight.

[@Finn_DeGreef]

Rollo: “This is what we care for your god” Destroys cross* 4 seasons later:

[@PrimeVideoUK]

Season 1 Rollo would be so surprised 😬

[@user-nv2wt4hi8t]

Rolf has entered the chat.

with his Farquaad haircut 😂

[@hafeezasif7932]

I doubt rollo actively believed in christianity he just said the words so he could get his wife to love him and he could get lands and be famous.

[@jackychen6261]

“And that kids, is how i met your uncle Athelstan”

[@LeslieLili]

If you knew ragnar how much you will love this little monk ❤

[@Nervii_Champion]

"I forbid it. 🤓" tee hee

[@meliha442]

Ragnar has a pure heart. ❤

[@Will-nn3pb]

so weird to think that people back then knew nothing but only of there own towns and villages. These days we can know anything we want about any country and their cultures. Even there histories

[@Leon.siibird]

THE WAYYYY Ubbe looks like his freaking DAD ugh!

[@raquelsantos1998]

Legendary moment

[@thomasprislacjr.4063]

Always keep the scientists and scholars alive and under your control. Trinkets come and go.

[@jhunbellen2765]

Vikings and Sons of Anarchy are the most Epic TV series i like

[@chadlarson4149]

As equals. When another man tries to take your share of a treasure. You are no longer equals.

[@earlhenerz]

Best show on amazon by far

[@deepakojha3070]

Superb 👌👌👌👌

[@rickrocko]

It was a great love at first sight...💕

[@tTashfrizz]

2:39 so rollo is older than ragnar

[@cavaliothorson7755]

Yeah, but so much is different in the show. In real life Rollo and Ragnar weren't related and Ragnar had 3 sons not 5.

[@thelostboygiovanni]

I remember when this episode came out

[@VAIRA5]

SWORD AND BOW AND ARROW

[@giji6762]

moment ragnar became heisenberg

[@piyush5740]

i would take the queen

[@jadeasha4040]

From “ Enemies” to lovers. Rathelstan / Athelgar 💜

[@colinkillian9265]

they where not lovers, they just had a deep friendship based upon mutual respect...

[@cavaliothorson7755]

​@@colinkillian9265 It's so tiresome when people always ship characters who are unlikely friends, they can never take a friendship as it is.

[@sunnyinmilkyway2114]

Top meetinh his bottom for the first time.

[@salepx]

so Athelstan learned norse language just buy traveling?

[@radical6905]

Viking meet cute

[@Anglo83_]

Little did they know we ran them out of England with 0 ease

[@lucaspanasski331]

😂😂 you have no clue about the history of your country

[@anteradeljic5315]

Dude if you are Englishmen that means you are 1/3 Norse blood... they never left England they assimilate with Saxons and Saxons with them this is how England was made

[@AJ0223]

​@anteradeljic5315 if by assimilate with Saxons you mean converted to Christianity en masse then yes

[@anteradeljic5315]

@@AJ0223 pretty much like that... interest in trade was main reason... vikins loved gold and silver more then their Gods

Cant stand Rollo...

Que temporada es ?

Travis was channeling Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden.

[@kumpircan]

İ am glad we didnt see athelstan's disgusting hair style much

[@leftentantsniffles8522]

Athelstan was easily my least favourite character in all of the tv shows I have watched. I wish they just cut him and showed a historically accurate story of Ragnar Lothebrok, the actual history is far more entertaining and interesting than whatever some deluded unimaginative fool can make up.
