Blink and you’ll miss it, as it is only mentioned once, but the final clash between Ivar and Hvitserk’s Vikings and the Saxons of Wessex is the battle of Edington(or Ethandun) in 878. Though in the drama, the Norse attack is portrayed as more of a futile stab for glory, than the close-run thing for the kingdom of Wessex that it really represented. ...
Not much is known about the historical Hvitserk, but in one of Vikings’ final scenes he is seen being christened and given the name Athelstan (not to be confused with Æthelstan, Alfred the Great’s grandson and the king who finally united England). If this turn of events sounds vaguely familiar, that’s because this is what happened to Guthrum, king ...
It certainly didn’t end with an unhinged Ketil Flatnose raging nonsensically while standing atop a beached, dead whale. By all accounts, Flatnose did not set foot on Greenland. The first colony there was founded by Erik the Red, an exile from Iceland banished for murder, c986. And it proved quite the success. “At one stage populated by about 5,000 ...
It’s never stated explicitly, but the ‘Golden Land’ that Ubbe is searching for, and where he eventually finds Floki, is North America – which the real Vikings would have known as Vinland.
As far as we know, the real Ubbe did not journey any farther west than Britain. He is suspected to have died in England in 878, alongside 1,200 other Norse warriors at the battle of Cynwit, which historian Thomas Williams describes as one of five ‘forgotten’ battles that shaped Viking Britain. The first known European to have sighted North America ...
Given that the battle of Edington of 878 and the expeditions across the Atlantic of the 10th century are happening at the same time in Vikings, it’s clear that show’s timeline doesn’t bear up to real history, something that has been apparent before. “Ragnar Lothbrok unquestionably didn’t lead the famous Viking raid against the monastery at Lindisfa...
The Vikings owe a lot of their legacy as raiders and explorersto their skill in shipbuilding – which they were rather good at. But Ubbe and his fellow explorers spend much of series at sea, and it rarely looks comfortable. Nor was it. “When sailing in [a Viking ship], you would have been pretty exposed to the elements,” Professor Jan Bill told us. ...
Yes, The Last Kingdom, which tells the geographically tighter tale of the formation of England through the eyes of fictional ‘half-Saxon, half Dane’ Uhtred of Bebbanburg, does overlap with that of Vikings. Vikings closes with the battle of Edington, which is also the climactic battle of The Last Kingdom season 1 – though the way these shows approac...
