The lil smile of Hvitserk after Rollo introduced his kids. Even tho Rollo has betrayed and left them, he kinda respects what has become of him. He finally got what he always wanted and became a great man, outside of Ragnars shadow.

But even that he got because of Ragnar The French never gave 2 shits about Rollo they just took him so they could defeat Ragnar. As much as I hate him for the betrayal im still happy for him coming out of his brother's shadow. Can't imagine what his life was like when his parents preferred Ragnar lagertha preferred Ragnar and then Ragnar became earl and then king especially in a society where eldest brothers r supposed to be more powerful

Speaking as someone who has Norman French ancestry I don't blame Rollo for grabbing a good opportunity when it came along. The Vikings who settled Normandy and became Christian got filthy rich and were one of the most successful colonies in the Viking world.

[@abdousalem3079]

It is the Vikings mentality. Vikings did not value loyalty as they valued fame and glory. Rollo is ambitious just like Ragnar.

[@sarahgray430]

@@abdousalem3079 The Vikings valued loyalty just as highly as they did fame and glory...and the historical Rollo Gagnon was not actually related to Ragnar Lothbrok and was known as much for his loyalty and courage as for his pragmatism.

[@zub41r75]

You do know that Rollo and Ragnar were not brothers in real life. Rollo was born many years after Ragnar died. They may have been related however it’s unlikely. His real relation was King Harold but we don’t know if they were cousins or distant relatives. King Rollo didn’t betray anyone he kicked the shit out of Normandy and the lords of northern France offered him huge amount of lands. He later rose to power as a warrior king and his kids would go on to unite and rule Normandy. Rollo was a Viking Warrior king but he was not Ragnars brother and he didn’t betray anyone in real life. Rollo was probably the smartest and most successful Viking of all time. His descendants still sit on the Throne of England aka Queen Elizabeth II. He’s my favourite Viking strong, noble, driven and a true leader.

[@zub41r75]

Sarah Gray sorry I read this comment after writing mine

[@sarahgray430]

@@zub41r75 That's true...except for the bit about Queen Elizabeth II being descended from Rollo. The descendants of Rollo killed each other off in the War of the Roses and were succeeded by the Tudors who were then succeeded by the Stuarts who were then succeeded by the House of Coburg Saxe Gotha which changed its name to Windsor after the Second World War to hide the fact that it is actually a German family. In fact I am probably more closely related to Rollo than the Queen is, and possibly so is my upstairs neighbor, an extremely large Metis whose last name (Gagnon) is the same as Rollo's nickname and would probably have as much trouble as he supposedly did finding a horse big enough to carry him into battle.

[@Valerianqelbri]

This show sadly makes it appear that Rollo was the only Norse that settled in Normandy and that he lived alone amongst French soldiers and courtiers. When in reality thousands of Norse settlers settled in the area. For at least 2 generations they were noticeably different in terms of culture and language than their French countrymen, but they gradually merged together and formed the distinct Norman culture. I wish they would have dressed the soldiers to at least appear Norman/Viking rather then French.

[@gammadion]

That's actually what a lot of pagans did, not just in Scandinavia but also in Germany, England, Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, and France. Nominal conversion was and is a pagan tradition. As in Rome you do as the Romans do. But you need not convert in the soul, only in the body.

William the Conqueror was a descendant of Rollo, therefore all English monarchs after William the Conqueror have some Viking blood. They also have Anglo-Saxon blood because William the Conqueror's son Henry I married a descendant of Alfred the Great.

[@mrsupremegascon]

Almost every western Europeans has some Viking blood and even many has William the Conqueror as an ancestor. After a millennial, every descent get very diluted, especially for powerful people that had more children coming to age than the regular population.

While the serie is great, at some time the historical absurdities should stop ! That desk is just preposterous : they were made like that at least 400 years later. Get your shit straight. If you want to get fancy, why not integrate the Sicilian Kingdom created by Normans in the 12 th century ? A central cultural plateform that tried to blend Eastern and Western cultures... It lasted about a century.

[@Lily1127channel]

Yes, there are many disturbing historical inaccuracies. Some are needed, but some is just preposterous. Alfred the Great as the bastard of a half-pagan priest and a whore princess?? Please... Sigurd Snake-in-the -eye dies almost as a kid? I heard this news but I hope that won't be true eventually. And I certainly hope they won't spoil King Harald Finehair by making him killed by Lagertha to get revenge for the attack... I really hope so. If they destroy the story of a great king, hero and the first king of Norway, then this show officially has nothing to do with History.

[@piercingmoon24]

I don't know a lot about viking history, but is King Harald Finehair the guy that converted to Christianity and convinced others to do the same through strength of arms?

[@cornelbebie7400]

I'm not an expert by a long shot, but the Vikings converted quite early to Christianity (compared to German tribes, for example). There could be a logical relation with Rollo's settling in Normandy (acculturation, you know...) However, the Vikings were extremely cunning politicians, so I doubt the power of a monotheistic religion evaded them. I even believe this is why they embraced so eagerly such a foreign religion.

[@Maravone]

More like 700/800 years later. The series is capable of both being quite faithful to history and preposterously wrong.
