ny_kia31 i like to think that ragnar knew that there is not anyway that they could settle in england that why he chose ivar to be his succsesor

ny_kia31 they both understood that there people would not have much of a future if they just raided sooner or later they would just die and leave nothing behind where if they settled land they could start kingdoms and rule but this scene shows why a lot of vikings couldn't be conquers they didn't really think in the long turn witch is the end for them

Ragnar actually spent more time with Ubbe than with Ivar. When they were young he would play around with the other kids while Ivar was always with his mother. And Ragnar took both Ubbe and Hvitserk with him to Paris for months when they were young. The only time he really spent with Ivar was his last trip back to England.

Taimoor Shah Ragnar was a addict then and they were just boys. But Ivar spent months with his dad on their journey to England and his final words to him were to be ruthless and that's what he's doing. If the vikings never conquered most of England then they never would have been able to settle it and become a part of it sooner or later England would have killed them or subjected them just like they've done countless times though history

Nathan Schneider So what if he was an addict? He still interacted with them. And apart from that, what about the years he spent with them at home when he wasn't raiding? Ubbe obviously learnt a lot from him, that's why he was the only one to track Floki down when he tried escaping. In the end they still lost eventually, even after all the raiding. Alfred beat the Vikings, and Ivar the Boneless disappeared from history soon after.

Yes indeed ,I saw the same thing Stanus!!

χρονης κ. I know right, a mindless brute who loves his raiding. I'm a bit disappointed that he's such a flat character, I hope the writers develop him more.

Last Baratheon, Ubbe looked sick to his stomach after seeing the brutality of Ivar.Dude we are really going to miss Ragnar. So I see in the trailers for next show,Ubba in Kattegat,seemingly trying to put down an attack from Harald. Historically ,Ivar was said to have been very cruel,but pouring molten metal down a mans throat??? Ugly man,real ugly.

The scene is the exact opposite of the ransacking of the church in season one, and it feels like partway through Ubbe comes to his senses and remembers who he really is and who his father was, even tho he obviously wasn't at the raid in season one. It really sets up a lot of unspoken emotional conflict in Ubbe and shows how Ivar has become the furthest thing from what his father actually was.

Totally agree

Ragnar seems to an extent to have his ambitions and character traits split among three of his sons. Bjorn inherited his desire to see more and more of the world, not just raiding places they knew but continuing to discover, and understanding other cultures just how Ragnar sought to understand the Christians. Unfortunately he also inherited Ragnar's lack of interest in settling down with a family, neglecting his children and Torvi. After a time, he even, just like his father, lost all interest in being king of Katekat. Ubbe wants to build a new life for his people and views a different future for the Vikings, just like Ragnar. One which does not involve the need for raiding. He also has Ragnar's compassion, although in this area he often surpasses his father. He feels duty bound to preserve Ragnar's legacy, which is rather interesting as he looks just like him. Ivar wants to achieve fame like his father, and even surpass it. He is incredibly ruthless just like his father and willing to break whatever rules he needs to in order to achieve his goal. He is also an incredibly imaginative thinker, making him rival Ragnar in strategy. And I just realised. Hvitserk takes after Rollo. Not because he betrayed his family because whether or not he's a traitor is up to interpretation. However, his reasons behind his actions are the same. Hvitserk left Ubbe's side, despite believing him to be in the right, because he was tired of living in Ubbe's shadow, just as Rollo was tired of living in Ragnar's. It's why he went with Bjorn to the Mediterranean, to gain fame away from Ubbe. So when Ubbe was falling out of favour with the great army, for Hvitserk, going with Ubbe meant he would be living in a shadow of a shadow. With Ivar he had a chance to be something important, a motivation he fleshes out later, knowing Ivar can't have children, so he and his children would inherit Katekat.

@@wafflingmean4477 golden analysis! Thanks

He's just like ragnar.. D:

remeber vikings is not a culture it is a specific role in medieval scandinavian culture. And the scandinavians were just as brutal when invading as every other country at the time, and when it came to their own people they were much more civilsed and avanced (they had some degree of democracy, women's rights...)

Killa Keemsta Okay not what I meant by barbaric but that’s alright.

Julianne Snyder I believe sine Vikings, even the raiders felt this way.

Revan Ruler Viking is the act of going on a sea voyage either for plunder or trade.

My bad..i got confused with the Raids they've done

It was also a boy

REALLY??? i was so sure it was a girl.... the face was too pretty to be a boy

yes remember it, it was in a bakery I think.

Any episode ???

it's amazing

It's everything

I believe that when Ragnar told that to Ivar, he meant to be ruthless with his enemies, not with innocent people

@@carlosferreira3797 Well, that's the magic of interpretation, isn't it?

@@carlosferreira3797 no with everyone on is way thats mean

Yeah ruthless but cried like b#$*h when he died

@@jasonellenberg3261so would you tough guy

Taimoor Shah Ubbe from the last kingdom would eat this ubbe for breakfast.

​@@goblinlord1422 still wouldn't have beaten this ubbe

Well, from Aslaug’s kids, he was the oldest, and got to experience Ragnar the most. Let alone the fact he looks exactly like his dad in season 1.

A true drengr

I agree.....I think Ivar carried the show after Ragnar's death, but Hvitserk was definitely my favorite character.

@@Richk-sz9is mine too

Brother from another mother

Miraj ????

Same

He looks like young Ragnar too

@@aezyadkine158 and like Ragnar he doesn't kill unnecessary he fights when he has to

Wha the vikings did was pretty common. Besides the vikings that were actuall warriors were just as skilled and well geared as others around the world

@@valyng3660the English aren’t portrayed as brave and skilled warriors in pop culture like Vikings

I agree with you and I wonder why people call them great warriors

They re pagans...what do you expect?

JBlaze The King Pretty sure Ragnar wouldn’t have done that

Not really, it’s just morally wrong. But they don’t care.

For us it is. But for that era of warfare it's Tuesday.

No one will tell , if there is no one to tell others

Theps4guy lol Yes he would he was a viking

Lol ok

Halfdan the Black, you do realize that’s exactly what happened in real life

@@dart2475 Not exactly and this show is not very accurate. He dind kick their ass he just beat them in most battles in England... Also keep in mind the only reason they won the last battle was that the vikings had to spend some of their army to guard the ships and they had all taken off their armor to rest

@@dart2475 Like the Vikings took Paris easily, they dind try 3 times to take it lol. Dont count on anything. Besides Bjorn, Lagertha and Ubbe are friends with Alfred. At best Alfred with beat away the black danes in England and possibly assist in defeating Ivar

U know u cannot stop ivar if he has great heathen army

The version I’ve watched didn’t have that scene.

Well the Chrisitans dind actually "wipe" them out. But keep in mind that the Christians did crusades, just as bad

@@Jow2002 Crusaders were a defensive war, Vikings and muslims are the same, they are expansionists AF.

@@MrChileno13 they were what?

@@MrChileno13 are*

Lmfao

Majkl743 probably just checking for weapons

Ivar and Hvitserk are the more ruthless ones of the four brothers.

Hvitserk was a psychopath, Ivar was a ruthless and tough s.o.b and he kicked him out of York because he was on some other shit, torturing people for fun and all that, all around sadistic motherfucker, hope they keep that storyline in the show, with this battle they at least showed his enjoyment in killing and raping.

They are vikings all they do is rape and raid what you expect?

@@anarchonazbol6768 not really

No cuz they are Vikings. stealing, murdering and raping innocent people is what they did also the word Viking means Pirate.

No.

@@Waterford1992 Lol what they did was pretty common around the world. Another comment here "only a person with a low intelligence like you would say something like "evil" are you christian? You don't understand norse history nor did you ever try to study history at all since then you would know that Vikings are not a cultural group but rather a branch of a powerful group in Norse societies. The vikings were mostly peaceful traders but some were more ambitious like Ragnar and wanted riches. The had the most advanced boats at the time and navigation skills that almost rivals the ancient Polynesians. They were the greatest sea faring people of the century. You're view of the Vikings are biased because of Christian monks propaganda. "

rogbel they are thieves, murdered and rapist. They believe it is in their destiny. That’s how they rationalized their behavior.

No at this point in history ( although a few years off) the Saxons start winning any you are supposed to start rooting and the saxons

Lets not pretend that Christians did not go on crusades and kill tons of people over religion.

@Kristoff Bjorgman this dude is on multiple videos defending these murderous bastards

@@adlersadie1579 I've see him; really annoying and cringe.

@@Jow2002 I know this is a year old post, but the crusades was a reactionary movement after centuries of Muslim invasions in Christian land. Spain, France, North Africa, and the Byzantine Empire. Just like what happened in the Northern Crusade against the Native Prussians, it was a reactionary movement after the Prussians were raiding Poland. Crusades were not motivated purely on killing non Christians rather than to stop non Christians from invading Christian land.

@@mobius77x52 stole the Words right out of my mouth

I am also.He is my fav character bcoz of him i watched Vikings series

Ragnar and Floki are --were the show. We sorely miss them

Prob because it was pairs and this was a random town on the river which the vikings took by surprise on Sunday.

As Jan state above, this was surprise attack conducted on a day when everybody literally went to the church and the guards were drunk, and hence unprepared. This wasn't a siege to begin with either way....it was more likely a massacre.

It was the same when Charlemagne's armies killed thousands of innocent people just for not being christians.

@@kishanchali8752 Yes true, but I think he just wanted te say than it's just a massacre, not a battle

At least they didn't use some imaginary figure for an excuse...

@@jakubwroblewski7261 they did they were pagans

Blame the Romans for those walls since they built them 800 years previously.

Was he really tho? Ivarr is up there with the most famous, but I have trouble seeing him as anymore famous than some of his brothers like Björn or Sigurd, as both of them were established as kings in Sweden and Denmark respectively and each set up dynasties that would be powerhouses for centuries. Specifically Sigurd who’s descendants for a time ruled both Denmark and all of England and managed to stay in power in Denmark for about 600 years. Even guys Harald Fairhair and Leif Erikson I’d say have just as much of claim to fame with Harald being the first king of Norway and Leif discovering America. Don’t get me wrong Ivarr and later his descendants certainly made a large impact, but in the grand scheme of things I feel he was a bit less important than pop culture (especially this show) tries to play up.

York was one of the most important towns back then and waste of energy? makes no sense because they can simply regain it because they have their own town now. Someones pretty pissed about the saxon casualties I think

How did it go. Because im sure you from York know the truth and wont lie to seem to better off

Well yea kinda. Both sides are showed in a way that you can route for. The Vikings do savage stuff but the christians are also shown to do bad stuff. Besides this just feels normal to them and was common around the world. Btw the main character Ragnar was not really into this stuff

Tough the one laughing over the guy on the floor is Ivar, who is clearly set to be a evil sadistic shit. He killed a boy when he was like 6 over a fucking fotball

Jakcao Omah nope! Hvitserk raping a nun and Ivar poring hot gold down a priests throat. Plus they sacrificed those 2 boys after they found out how many days till Sunday. They burned those little boys alive. The only one that has a heart is Ubbe.

At this point they are really making the Vikings in the army more villainous so we can start to root for the Saxons under Alfred and Lagertha

@@dart2475 How ? Ubbe legit just went into Holmgang so the saxons dind have to fight them and blood be spilled... Ubbe is legit bf with Alfred and the reason they can work with the Danes now.... Lagertha was gf with Alfreds last bodyguard and commander... Bjorn, well he aint hostile... Only Ivar is enemy with Alfred and Bjorn is gonna kill him.. As said if the writing is good what i said will happen and then Bjorn will make peace with Alfred and retire in the mountains as a rich man surrounded by Warriors to guard him... Tho the Black Danes might actually come and help Bjorn and Ubbe ageinst Ivar before so...

Daniel Orderique not judging anyone, but I think its wrong to show innocent murdering in this way, like its something 'cool'.. Only because they are Christians.. But you know what? While you sit in your home and watch this show there are christians dying right now in middle east and Africa, this show has no respect..
