I just realized bjorn is the only one that really got to fight or spend time with ragnar. He left the little ones and was gone most of their childhood

[@KrazyKendra290]

That's why in the scene when the boys say they would kill him if he ever showed his face Bjorns whole demeanor is just like "You don't know who you are talking about." Which isn't the boys fault at all but it is sad to think how different they might have turned out had they gotten more time with him the way Bjorn did.

I absolutely love this series. The only thing I don't like are the armour and helmets of some the Wessex Saxons. Some of the helmets look like 16th century cavalry helmets and some of the armour looks like weird Dungeons & Dragons scalemail. The only things they had then were chainmail hauberks and conical helmets with a nose guard. Also, too many of the Saxons in the series had armour - you only had it if you were super rich, important or an elite soldier (a huscarl or a thane). Apart from some of the Wessex Saxon armour - fantastic series.

[@stolzerpfalzer768]

But Wessex wasn’t Saxon it was Anglo. Mercia and Northumbria were Saxons. But I think such helmets were around in the dark ages inspired by late Romans helmets

[@someguy-et6pd]

[@rubenheymans1988]

So far, I'm on season 4, to me the best fight scene was when Ragnar attacked Mercia. When he ordered all his forces to attack one side, and the other side of the river couldn't do anything but watch.

[@alexman378]

I remember thinking that this strategy of splitting the army in two river sides was so idiotic, and then found out it was actually employed against the Vikings at one point. You deserve to be wrecked when that’s your battle strategy.

[@julesdebeckker627]

Dumbest scene in the whole series if you ask me. What were the Angles thinking purposefully splitting up their army in a stronger and a clearly weaker force with no way to reinforce between them? Then they make Ragnar look like a strategic genius by making him attack only one side like no duh, that's what any person would do, sane or insane, it's so dumb

So while completing my first degree (History), I took a class that focused on Viking culture from Denmark and present day Iceland. They were actually not particularly skilled fighters based on the burial pits found in Scotland and northern England and regularly got massacred by the better armed and armored Saxon armies. What they did have was the element of surprise; they'd pull up in their low draft ships, raid a village or two and bolt before Saxon cavalry could show up. While the Viking warriors were undoubtedly brave, they simply didn't fare well against better trained and armored English troops.

@@normandodson7651 Friend, I took this class 29 years ago. I'm not an expert on Viking warfare, only relating what I learned at the time.

[@tigerlikeswater]

That's one aspect of this TV series that I find somewhat, bemusing, yet, in the great tradition of lower budget action pieces - which the Brits were great at with series such as the 'Sharpe' series set during the peninsular Napoleonic wars et al - the ability to convey the 'vibe' of the situ - without actually having anything near the correct numbers of extras for the armies or - now this is my point - the right size clinker built, dragon ships! Yes - the Scandinavian ability at boat building - was the super weapon of the time - the Norse, Danes, Swedes - had faster and more maneuverable ships with the low draft and relatively light weight being perfect for Pirate (Viking) raiding up rivers. in reality - the Danes, Norse and Swedes were intrepid opportunists, who, for all their 'Die with a sword/axe in my hand to make it to Valhalla'! theology - once they figured out the money to be made by trading - they became traders and set up alliances. It was the empires of the times that dragged everyone back into almost total war fare. But the character of Ragnar Lothbrok in this series embodies - the smart , undoubtedly brave and believing in the gods and all that- but still - a yearning for his people to lead peaceful lives as farmers. The Goths - another Germanic/Celtic Culture were actually prized as fighters by the leaders of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire

[@TexasJack78]

​@@normandodson7651 the Danelaw no longer exists. Any questions?

[@HeftyWinter]

Yes the first raiders werent but over time as (petty) kings started organising large raids. It stands to reason that these latter raiders were better trained and equipped then the pioneers. Danelaw was also a thing: a whole part of England was ruled by the Vikings for a while.

King Ecbert won this using tactics he read from Roman scrolls. Even after their empire has been gone for years and years, their buildings in ruins, their tactics were still devastating. Roman army taking people to school from beyond the grave. They really were that good

[@alanaltimont9007]

The Last Kingdom was generally more historically accurate than Vikings, as fun as that series was. The Anglo-Saxons generally fought on foot, horses don't go barrelling through shield walls (ask the Normans at Hastings), and the Anglo-Saxons also didn't generally wear 16th-century helmets like some of these dudes do. Time travelers?

Back when the battles weren't just scenes of fireballs rolling down a hill. God what happend to this series!

[@aidanking1176]

This is how wars should be fought instead of guns I get it's a different age now but that's what you call true honour and bravery with the sword or axe

[@BlueSkyCountry]

Historical inaccuracies aside like the Saxon troops wearing 17th century musketeer helmets, this battle was a lot like the scene from My Way when the Japanese after just having fought off a wave of Soviet BT7 tanks in the Mongolian desert, looks up and sees another line of BT7s and T26s roaring toward them. They knew that they were finished when that happened.

i love viking defeats, very much satisfying

[@ralofofriverwood4806]

The crazy thing about Calvary is there really is no effective counter to it before the invention of pre-modern firearms. The only real way to stop a charge is spook the horses or prevent it entirely. Even opposing Calvary would be smashed by the sheer momentum of the charge.

[@yusufgemedere3383]

What is the name of this war ?

[@RossMunday]

Good battle but why are many of the Saxons wearing 17th Century Burgonet helmets.

Never hesitate

the only time King Elle managed to defeat a Viking army

[@tompiper9276]

Looks really authentic, apart from the cavalry, armor, weapons etc.... 😅

[@jdgoesham5381]

In real life cav horses VERY VERY rarely would go near a Viking shield wall. They'd stop like they would when coming to any barrier. They'd not do what shown here at all. Though it's still super badass of a scene.

[@PROFE97]

That's not true at all 😂😂 cavalry always breaks infantry that's the whole point of a charge unless you have pikes and tactical experience fighting calvary infantry will always lose

[@langelodidio-goaldo1105]

If there were Viking women who fought, they were very few.

[@normandodson7651]

Intelligent people keep the women OFF the battlefield unless, they are barren. The more pregnant women you have, the greater your numbers are in future wars . Women are too valuable to risk on a battlefield. Our cash rich environment enables a multiplicity of stupid ideas which will inevitably disappear as soon as the money runs out. And, it will.

[@mrjw6701]

Great show but I have to why are the Viking’s so much better at fighting than the Saxons. This is just not true the Viking’s suffered many heavy defeats they were not superior warriors.

[@danilapolesciuk4316]

I mean atleat in the season 6 alteast they showed the Saxons killed more vikings

[@kieranforde3787]

errr what's with people every time they see the romans they say there shitter there everyone else. They see a spartan they say their shitter then everyone else. They see a German they say there shitter then everyone else. Same thing with the Vikings now. Gets a bit stupid. You think people realize combat skill plays a role when fighting in a battle. Like training plays a role in getting better. idk why people think otherwise.

[@albionmyl7735]

Indeed I am a native Saxon from Westphalia and it's annoying..... and hurts me... because we are one tribe.. 🇩🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙏

[@mijanhoque1740]

Well the show ain’t historically accurate so I wouldn’t take it for face value. The Last Kingdom shows Saxons as great warriors and fights are more even there.

Every fight scene would be better without Lagertha. The acress acts like its a larping event and not a battle.

[@lorandbalint8557]

This loss was entireky king Horiks fault,charging without a single thought behind it.Ragnar knew it,they should have waited to assess the situtatioj properly.Thats why i love Ivar and his clever deceitfull maneuvering,confusing the ever living hell out of the Saxons and Aethelwulf

It helps the TV viewers know who’s who. In reality, Saxon and Viking all dressed alike with no state organized uniforms.
