He was my fav character in the entire series after Uhtred. So mystique, so refreshing, so groundbreaking! He didn't deserve to parish in season 5. He would've thrived under Uhtred's vision for Bebbanberg
Ironically, he predicted his own death. He said to Uhtred that his lack of wife and children made him stronger. He was right. Stiora got him killed. From the moment she got married to him, she had a massive chip on her shoulder, talking about "her" people, "her" gods, riling him up against Edward, poking at his Masculinity and his love for her whenever he didn't obey her. She killed him. She made a peaceful, intelligent man go to war. Probably the most true to life story within the show. If Brida didn't exist, Stiora would easily be the worst person in the show.
I liked him right away. He see's a bigger picture. He understands that you can't just live a life of perpetual fighting. Reminds me a bit of Ragnar from 'Vikings'
The. Stories and characters really lived begin to intersect between Viking and the last kingdom. In Vhalalla The Canute king invades England when Uthred is a Bebbanburg and according to the true story the troops of Canute clash with Uthred who was going to swear allegiance to King canute and then unfortunately Uthred is killed. At least according to history or Wikipedia
Sigtryggr is the coolest bad guy I can think of in a long time. I almost can’t even call him a bad guy bcz he’s honorable, respectful, and fairly reasonable about war. He’s not a blood thirsty demon. He truly wants to lead his people to a better life it seems. He’s a lot like Uhtred.
Sigtryggr is different from the other leaders. His not crazy and blood thirsty as u said, he doesn't want to conqueror without reason (treasure is not silver but the soil that grows underground). He thinks with his head and not with his heart and thats what I like about him the most. In season 4 ep 9 King Edward and was invading he seemed so unbothered and calm just sitting down while they are just shooting arrows which was so refreshing to see from a viking and funny. I generally don't want him to die in season 5 because of how likeable he is. He is just super sick! hopefully they bring him back for the last season (season 5) Ragnar (from Vikings) and Sigtryggr are similar
I'd call him an anti-hero. He doesn't carry the "I'm the protagonist's enemy" vibe. And he was quite the leader, visionary, and big-picture thinker. But he was in England for the Danes, so he hung around with some of the antagonists; yet that doesn't make him one.
From seeing how Sigtryggr appreciates the art of negotiation in others, I think he would have respected Alfred for that at the very least....and Alfred would have been intrigued by him also. It would have been very interesting to see those two meet. They may have gotten on a lot better than anyone realises.
Alfred is either overrated or his brain wasn’t shown enough. I mean what did he do that was so smart? He made deals with uhtred while leaving out specific details to keep him in line,yeah that’s pretty smart but besides that what did he do in terms of strategy? Uhtred won and planned everything for him even taught his army how to fight
A calm leader. A trained and superb tactician, a thinker with long-term goals beyond war, no hot-headed ego. I’d say he was the best tactician. I was saddened to see him die. He was absolutely awesome.
It's the calm intelligent ones you have you should fear the most. I absolutely love this character and the actor who plays it does a phenomenal job. The last kingdom is one of those shows which not only gets better as time goes on but also introduce the characters which are better and better.
I fear for both of them, on one hand we have sigtryggr who is cunning, he thinks things through, and many follow him, as well has being with Uthreds daughter. On the other we have Uthred, he has the voice of the people, his people, as well as some that are not. And if he absolutely needs it, he can ask for aid from many other kings and queens alike, and very close to a man with nothing left to lose.
@Jacob Sirak in the novels Sigtryggyr and Stiorra marry and have children. Uhtred and him have a great relationship as father-in-law and son-in-law and battle companions. I liked him immediately in the books..i was apprehensive about him coming to the show...but was very happy with his portrayal.
@@rufussamsquanch_6547 Netflix went woke as usual and didn't give a strong feminist like Stiora children, because women with children are the devil themselves to feminism.
This Sigtryggr is so much better than the book version as far as book 8. The book version is nothing but Frat-boy, who wants nothing but to steal, fight, rape, shout and get drunk. This Sigtryggr is nothing like that at all- he is calm, thoughtful, calculating, and much more innovative. I like it.
I just started the books and that’s disappointing, I was hoping Sigtryggr would be in the books, like he is in the show. But absolutely love his show character ⚔️
@Kristoff Bjorgman It can be like Uhtred Ragnarsson that Ivarr adapted someone to be a son of his and that man carried the tradition of the name Ivarrsson and Ivarsson that's how Sigtryggr lives up to the mantle of being descendant from Ivar the Boneless the sagas do say Ivarr never had children but didn't mean he adapted ones either which explains this and to be technical the last name Ivarsson fits Sigtryggr for the reason being he's a great technician and great leader. Plus during these times people were claiming so many descendants besides Ivarr the Boneless like Ragnar Lothbrok and Björn Ironside. The sagas also mention his nickname "the Boneless" suggests he was called "the Hated" like he was a backstabber which is true about but no one knows since the sagas were translated.
I absolutely can’t wait for this character development, such an interesting character. Cunning like uthred, strength, strong passion to protect and give his people more than others have given them and wiser than Kings. Next season will be amazing.
I really like Sigtryggr alot because he thinks things through before acting. It's also interesting why he was so interested in learning about Uhtred and how he thinks through Stiorra. I might be completely in left field with this could this be a double edged sword? meaning it's honorable in the beginning but its goes F-all later.
I loved Sigtryggr, but he was being very nosey and acting suspicious by asking Stiorra all of those questions about Uhtred. It might could be a tactic on HOW he and the Danes can actually beat Uhtred in the future. Getting closer to Uhtred’s daughter could also be a tactic of his. I don’t think he asked her hand in marriage because he “likes her and finds her intriguing.” Uhtred has been betraying and killing the Danes for decades now, I’m sure Sigtryggr isn’t too fond of the man that’s been killing his people and siding with their enemy EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
@@lyricbenson5176 True, but it really seemed to affect him when Stiorra talked about being half-Saxon, half-Dane and wanting all the Dane vs. Saxon foolishness to end. He agreed to a truce at Winchester, so I don't think he wants to destroy the Saxons. He is much more pragmatic than previous Viking leaders.
Susan Horan Eh. You might be right. But from what we’ve seen, majority of the Danes look out for and protect each other, at least the ones that aren’t power hungry and ambitious. I just feel like Sigtryggr ain’t gonna just keep letting Uhtred slide with killing off his people. It would make him look weak to other Danes that follow him. Let’s be real, one of the Danes or hell even Sigtryggr himself are gonna mess up this “keep the peace” deal that he proposed to the Saxons and more bloodshed will be shedded. That will definitely result in Uhtred killing more Danes and the Danes wanting revenge, forcing Sigtryggr’s hand.
Within a few minutes of Sigtryggr being introduced I knew he was gonna be awesome. And even at Winchester I knew he wouldn’t be killed. He’s gonna become almost as loved as Uhtred in TLK fandom
OH MY!!!! The newest Dane, SIGTRYGGR took the character and is now one of the most interesting, delicious and smartest Actors on the show. I look forward to seeing him much, much more. I love his vocal range too. SO MUCH TALENT, should not be wasted. ty
my new favorite character, he's the only logical mind in the show. He has reason for everything and sees other ways of living unlike the dane's closed mindedness. He has honor and is a man of his word.
I really really liked this character, he’s intelligent and rational and isn’t driven by hate for the christians, i also draw comparisons between him and ragnar from vikings as they both value knowledge very highly, that’s why he chose to protect uhtreds daughter and why he chose to take her with him after he got what he wanted
@@Mamadbazargan I mean I feel bad for her a lot. To be cursed and she couldn't give birth to a living baby for Uthred or the man she loved even after his death, Ragnar. Which made Ragnar go to other woman so he could have descendents. Then being a slave like Uthred was a slave. Not sure how long Brida was a slave though, it was about a year for Uthred. Uthred had to do a lot more manual labor but Brida was pregnant while being pissed on and not getting enough food and water, not sure how to baby survived honestly. But yes she did get really damn annoying after she was rescued as a slave.
I know some people hated Brida but I went through so many phases of loving / then hating her, because in her defence she got betrayed and let down by so many people on so many occasions, whereas she stayed entirely loyal and constant to her people and beliefs. I can understand why it made her so brutal and vicious by S5. I thought she was incredibly well written IMO.
He was the best actor in the whole series🙌 outstanding and an incredible carisma and a voice to die for🔥🔥 Cant wait to see more of this actor in the future, its not often one come adress such raw talent!
This season introduced such good character with same good writing to them, I hope they keep this good writing in S5 as well Eadith, sigtryggr and And Stiorra just made this season more interesting
The best male character so far pretending to be bad but being kind, heroic, good, selfless, honorbale, a man of honor, respectful, sweet, the perfect man for stiorra and him and her make a hot powerful epic couple. Can not wait to see them in season 5
Well, Stiora got him killed. What a great couple... The man literally predicted his own death though. He did say he was stronger for not having a wife, especially a vindictive, violent, arrogant, hateful bitch like Stiora. He should have never let her whisper in his ears.
I am a fan of both TLK and Vikings, and I think it's kinda fun that the actor who plays Sigtrygger almost looks and acts like an auburn-haired version of the actor who plays Ivar the Boneless. They even have similar accents,and then there's that Gene Simmons thing with the tongue...which I think is intentional mimicry.
It's because the stereotype of cunning guys are calm and calculating. They made them talk in a gentle and cool manner so it appears that they're always thinking and aware of what's already and will happen.
one of the most honorable and smart characters. "is this how we play now, we strike those who are weaker than our selves" "She has not been dishonored, i swear to that" i liked these scenes a lot
@@huejanus6459 Stiorra and Sygtryggr aren’t married (yet) although in the books they are but hopefully in s5 they get officially married with Uhtred’s blessing
If what is based on the History books, this comes as no surprise about his cool, calm and collected ways. After all he's supposedly a descendant of Ragnar.
@@philip2772 hmm never really liked thyra, but didnt hate her either. After she got rescued i didnt saw the point of her relation a 60 year old priest with a 25 year old dane. Young ragnar died reallly bad and i didnt saw the point of killing him off, glad the cunt aethelwold is dead
Most of the time, I tough TLK is better than the Viking series. But, this Sigtryggr is clearly inspired by the characters of Ragnar Lothbrok and Ivar the Boneless (his father). The speeches, the personality, his intentions, his regards.
i’m assuming this is the child he had with the Rus woman, even though it’s not historically accurate. Still it makes a connection with my two favorite shows and makes me like the guy more
@@yarakl5887 Sigtryggr's real name was Sitric Cáech he was grandson of Ímar who is suppose to be ivar the boneless to historians and the Irish chronicles however the irish chronicles say his father was Gofraid of Lochlann and not Ragnar. So the real Sigtryggr probably never was related to Ivar the Boneless.
Is it just me or did Sigtryggr suffer a massive character assassination in season 5? Dude was always one step ahead of everyone else in season 4, he was cunning and pragmatic, never just reacting but taking the initiative to further his own aims. Then season 5 rolls around and he somehow loses all of his tactical acumen. He lets his city get taken over by Brida despite warning from his brother, and then somehow blames the Saxons for it and chugs the religious zeal kool aid (despite never being a zealot). He organises a pretty good ambush of Aethelhelm's camp but then bungles it up by letting his soldiers run amok rather, and when he tries to get them back in formation it's already too late as Edward attacks. I'm just so disappointed because it seems like he only messed up and died because the plot demanded it. Season 4 vs season 5 Sigtryggr may as well be two different people.
He definitely did. Even the actor was like “what happened to me? To Sigtryggr in the time gap between s4 and s5??” He presumed that the introduction/appearance of Sigtryggr’s younger brother was Sigtryggr’s downfall. The man knew his younger brother was dangerous or lost but the guilt of leaving the younger to die in their homeland blinded and brought out this new side of Sigtryggr T_T
I’m 2 years late on this topic but you said something that I was so vividly feeling all along during those episodes that I couldn’t help myself. I too felt that his early demise was too contrived to be left unspoken. For the hours following that cruel episode of killing off his character, I was in shock and disbelief, then rewatched it again a few times in a row as my way to grieve him. And I don’t know if it was my grief but I came to dislike Uhtred and the show runners for that callous decision knowing how much liked Sigtryggr was by many viewers. I was convinced they killed him off and not without dimming his light first for having so unquestionably stolen the show in those last 4 episodes of season 4. I came even to notice how the actor’s performance changed gradually as if he was aware of the need of dimming himself for the sake of the main character who was being outshined by his charisma, phenomenal presence and impactful performance. All his earlier portrayal instincts, micro-expressive depth and vocal ranges were seemingly toned/tuned down... Such a pity to waste the potential of such a compelling character and talented actor which could have otherwise made the entire season 5 even more exciting. But then again, that’s probably what made his fans miss him all the more and from that perspective the show runners did him a favor, nonetheless. Since they introduced him, I kept rewatching only the episodes he was in and somehow couldn’t care less about all the other characters and earlier episodes that made me love this series in the first place. That’s how impactful he was as far as I’m concerned. To this day I still crave his voice and presence on the screen and keep wishing for his character spin-off to be made someday soon. Long live Sigtryggr, the legend!
King of Dublin, a king in Northumbria too. He retook Dublin and Waterford from the native Irish, and allowed Viking power to last on the Isle for another 200 years. Sitric Silkebeard. Legand.
I have read (and reread) the entire series. Sword of Kings arrived on my doorstep on one Saturday morning and I read all 381 pages by the evening! War Lord I took slightly slower!
It was Aethlhelms doing that caused the death of Sigtryggr and arguably Stiorra and brother. The scene where he dies gave me such heartache and i just wish Edward couldve pardoned him seeing as they all found out that it was Aethlhelm behind it all.
wow amazing, wonderful video 😍. I discovered the character with your video and I, who am a fan of Ivar, can say that he has a quality successor (from a French fan ❤️)
Besides Uhtred he was the Most respectable Male character. He had a short run on the show but it was very impactful his death Probable hit me thae Hardest he went out like a Gangster. He had all the qualities of a Great Leader.
this show really makes it feel sometimes that its connected to vikings , he acts so much like Ivar the boneless from vikings,from the way he talks, moves like he was related for real, Ube even felt like the Ube from vikings, even the accent was the same ( well little more unhinged here but still)
@@gaiusx287 He was insane in this one but the mannerisms and how he talked was the same. And well he is a different actor after all so he will look different either way.
He proves that wisdom isn’t acquired by age but rather by experience learning and reflection. Other Vikings were arrogant and did not think strategically only tactically and paid the iron price for giving in to anger
I facepalmed when they decided to kill him... why? why tho? they transformed him from this mastermind viking full of tactics and wistom to... man forget it it's not worth it.
Sigtryggr did not deserve to die, he would have been able to take able was was rightfully he's; just like uhtred, sigtryggr could have had made a bigger name for himself, he could have even helped uhtred the most considering that they both had things stolen from them... he didn't deserve to die. He was and will always be a man of honor
Great Charakter, who should get his well deserved spin off! I cried so damn hard when uhtred had to kill him....I didn't even cry that bad at the final end!
Outside his gang, brother, and fathers, I think Sigtryggr was the only man who truly had Uhtred’s respect. Uhtred respect Alfred as a leader but he never could fully relied on the Saxon king. However, even after Sigtryggr’s death, and after admitting he didn’t stop the tragedy, Uhtred still believed Sigtryggr would support him at Bebbanburg. That spoke volume to me 😢
I hate the man Edward has become, if I were Uhtred I would've told him that he could have built England without the sword that has served the crown longer than his father's and his reign (Uhtred helped Alfred's brother when he was king)

Sigtryggr wow great addition to the show 👏👍, hope to see him in season 5 😊...kinda crushing on him 😍😉
Rest in peace. He was my favourite character
I was so disappointed that it happened.),:
Me too
He was the best actor in the whole series🙌 outstanding and an incredible carisma and a voice to die for🔥🔥 Cant wait to see more of this actor in the future, its not often one come adress such raw talent!
This season introduced such good character with same good writing to them, I hope they keep this good writing in S5 as well
Eadith, sigtryggr and And Stiorra just made this season more interesting
It was nice to see a Viking who rule and fought like Alfred
The voice! So soft, so wise, but so much more! A beautiful & deadly man! Finan..? Love u both.🥀
Damn sexy ! Best actor in the series
My favorite character of this season. I hope we will see him in the next season
Sigtryggr, a revelation in season 4. He actually wants to settle in the new lands, not just raid, just like his great grandfather Ragnar Lothbrok.
My new favourite villain. Can’t wait to see him on season 5.
The best male character so far pretending to be bad but being kind, heroic, good, selfless, honorbale, a man of honor, respectful, sweet, the perfect man for stiorra and him and her make a hot powerful epic couple. Can not wait to see them in season 5
Well, Stiora got him killed. What a great couple... The man literally predicted his own death though. He did say he was stronger for not having a wife, especially a vindictive, violent, arrogant, hateful bitch like Stiora. He should have never let her whisper in his ears.
I am a fan of both TLK and Vikings, and I think it's kinda fun that the actor who plays Sigtrygger almost looks and acts like an auburn-haired version of the actor who plays Ivar the Boneless. They even have similar accents,and then there's that Gene Simmons thing with the tongue...which I think is intentional mimicry.
Sigtryggr is a kin to Ivar the boneless
It's because the stereotype of cunning guys are calm and calculating. They made them talk in a gentle and cool manner so it appears that they're always thinking and aware of what's already and will happen.
one of the most honorable and smart characters. "is this how we play now, we strike those who are weaker than our selves" "She has not been dishonored, i swear to that" i liked these scenes a lot
He is the grandson of the great Ivar the Boneless and has his grandfather cunning nature..
So ubba was his great uncle?
@@huejanus6459 Yes..
Hue Janus ubba is his grand-uncle aka his grandfathers brother
He has mind of ivar but not cruelty like ivar.
@@hopelfreyamikaelson9348 yeah he looks like a way softer version of ivar
One of my favorite and best videos on yt I've ever watched! Thank you for great tribute for Sigtryggr!
Yes I will agree with you he is so nice snd special in his way. It will be fun to follow him in the future of tlk.
I hope his character remains
Hopefully he helps uhtred take back bebunberg now that he is his son in law lol
@@huejanus6459 Stiorra and Sygtryggr aren’t married (yet) although in the books they are but hopefully in s5 they get officially married with Uhtred’s blessing
Sigtryggr is literally me calm and smart, he’s my favorite more than uh
I loved his dual intensity on screen, so well played... I wish he didn't fall into Edwards hand, soo wicked.
i remember when he first appeard i was questioning him, didn't like him at first but realized he was a good person
the best character on the show since alfred died
This season didn't let me down! Tbe Last Kingdom, best series ever!! ✊
If what is based on the History books, this comes as no surprise about his cool, calm and collected ways. After all he's supposedly a descendant of Ragnar.
Sigtryggr saw the bigger picture (just like Alfred). Unity, settlement, trade and peace. That's how a civilisation thrives.
He was the realest one out of the whole show!
So excited for season 5... Hope to see Stiorra and Sigtryyggr more screen time! And no more deaths in new seasons please..
So many characters in this show that could have easily stayed and didn't need to die : (
@@philip2772 yeah like young ragnar and cnut
@@topacybits3576 yeah Ragnar was cool I wish he could have stayed, but I think Beocca and Thyras deaths didn't need to happen also.
@@philip2772 hmm never really liked thyra, but didnt hate her either. After she got rescued i didnt saw the point of her relation a 60 year old priest with a 25 year old dane. Young ragnar died reallly bad and i didnt saw the point of killing him off, glad the cunt aethelwold is dead
@@topacybits3576 yep Ragnar didn't die in battle like he was meant to, he was killed because cnut convinced aetholwold that his life was in danger.
He was a great character and wonderfully performed 😀👍🏼
When you hear hear he is the kin of ivar you know he is the real deal
Most of the time, I tough TLK is better than the Viking series. But, this Sigtryggr is clearly inspired by the characters of Ragnar Lothbrok and Ivar the Boneless (his father). The speeches, the personality, his intentions, his regards.
Ivar isn't his father but his kin. He is his great-grandfather exactly
@@denadra I thought his grandson
he is so awesome in the books, looking forward to seeing what he becomes in the series
his voice is calm whicj i like about him
"kin to Ivar the boneless"
no wonder I liked this guy
(different shows i know, but still)
i’m assuming this is the child he had with the Rus woman, even though it’s not historically accurate. Still it makes a connection with my two favorite shows and makes me like the guy more
@@yarakl5887 Sigtryggr's real name was Sitric Cáech he was grandson of Ímar who is suppose to be ivar the boneless to historians and the Irish chronicles however the irish chronicles say his father was Gofraid of Lochlann and not Ragnar. So the real Sigtryggr probably never was related to Ivar the Boneless.
@@shrek13241 he is the great grandson of ivar ivar is father of gofraid father
@@kieranbrown1832 you might wana do more research
@@shrek13241 😂😂😂
His death actually got to me the most after Beoche
Is it just me or did Sigtryggr suffer a massive character assassination in season 5?
Dude was always one step ahead of everyone else in season 4, he was cunning and pragmatic, never just reacting but taking the initiative to further his own aims.
Then season 5 rolls around and he somehow loses all of his tactical acumen. He lets his city get taken over by Brida despite warning from his brother, and then somehow blames the Saxons for it and chugs the religious zeal kool aid (despite never being a zealot). He organises a pretty good ambush of Aethelhelm's camp but then bungles it up by letting his soldiers run amok rather, and when he tries to get them back in formation it's already too late as Edward attacks.
I'm just so disappointed because it seems like he only messed up and died because the plot demanded it. Season 4 vs season 5 Sigtryggr may as well be two different people.
He definitely did. Even the actor was like “what happened to me? To Sigtryggr in the time gap between s4 and s5??” He presumed that the introduction/appearance of Sigtryggr’s younger brother was Sigtryggr’s downfall. The man knew his younger brother was dangerous or lost but the guilt of leaving the younger to die in their homeland blinded and brought out this new side of Sigtryggr T_T
I’m 2 years late on this topic but you said something that I was so vividly feeling all along during those episodes that I couldn’t help myself. I too felt that his early demise was too contrived to be left unspoken. For the hours following that cruel episode of killing off his character, I was in shock and disbelief, then rewatched it again a few times in a row as my way to grieve him. And I don’t know if it was my grief but I came to dislike Uhtred and the show runners for that callous decision knowing how much liked Sigtryggr was by many viewers. I was convinced they killed him off and not without dimming his light first for having so unquestionably stolen the show in those last 4 episodes of season 4. I came even to notice how the actor’s performance changed gradually as if he was aware of the need of dimming himself for the sake of the main character who was being outshined by his charisma, phenomenal presence and impactful performance. All his earlier portrayal instincts, micro-expressive depth and vocal ranges were seemingly toned/tuned down... Such a pity to waste the potential of such a compelling character and talented actor which could have otherwise made the entire season 5 even more exciting. But then again, that’s probably what made his fans miss him all the more and from that perspective the show runners did him a favor, nonetheless. Since they introduced him, I kept rewatching only the episodes he was in and somehow couldn’t care less about all the other characters and earlier episodes that made me love this series in the first place. That’s how impactful he was as far as I’m concerned. To this day I still crave his voice and presence on the screen and keep wishing for his character spin-off to be made someday soon. Long live Sigtryggr, the legend!
@@CarlIsle-j8z I couldn't agree more. Sigtryggr's character arc may as well be summarised as 'suffering from success'!
This is a beautiful tribute to Sigtryggr!!!
King of Dublin, a king in Northumbria too.
He retook Dublin and Waterford from the native Irish, and allowed Viking power to last on the Isle for another 200 years.
Sitric Silkebeard. Legand.
Edward is the most foolish king I've ever seen. Boy does he rattle me.
In the books, Sigtryggr is a very good and honorable man. I'm now reading Warriors of the storm. All of the books have been really really good.
I have read (and reread) the entire series. Sword of Kings arrived on my doorstep on one Saturday morning and I read all 381 pages by the evening! War Lord I took slightly slower!
I have fallen totally in love with Sigtryggr! Not as pretty as Uhtred, but 🔥
Sigtryggr Good Man
Excellent video 😁
Actually one of mý favorite characters!
It was Aethlhelms doing that caused the death of Sigtryggr and arguably Stiorra and brother. The scene where he dies gave me such heartache and i just wish Edward couldve pardoned him seeing as they all found out that it was Aethlhelm behind it all.
he was one character i was hoping would survive till the end
wow amazing, wonderful video 😍. I discovered the character with your video and I, who am a fan of Ivar, can say that he has a quality successor (from a French fan ❤️)
Is this what we do? Strike those that are weaker than ourselves? (Proceeds to bitch slap the hell out of him) Go on! I like this game!
Vivid three dimensional characters. Excellent script excellent acting from every member of the cast.
I love his character.....
I hated this character at first but he turned out pretty awesome and acting was great.
they resurrected ronnie james dio and made him younger for this role, incredible
He is not only cunning and smart. But respected by both sides because he is cunning and smart and they kno quite well
Besides Uhtred he was the Most respectable Male character. He had a short run on the show but it was very impactful his death Probable hit me thae Hardest he went out like a Gangster. He had all the qualities of a Great Leader.
this show really makes it feel sometimes that its connected to vikings , he acts so much like Ivar the boneless from vikings,from the way he talks, moves like he was related for real, Ube even felt like the Ube from vikings, even the accent was the same ( well little more unhinged here but still)
ubbe couldn't be more different in this show. Ver different motives, personality and looks
@@gaiusx287 He was insane in this one but the mannerisms and how he talked was the same. And well he is a different actor after all so he will look different either way.
Awesome!!!!!!
Most wise Dane
He proves that wisdom isn’t acquired by age but rather by experience learning and reflection. Other Vikings were arrogant and did not think strategically only tactically and paid the iron price for giving in to anger
@@huejanus6459 💯
And most handsome😁
I like him, I am looking forward to see how will his character be revealed
My favorite character in the series. Done dirty in the series.
I was angry when I saw that the director didn't put Ivar the boneless in the series. At least, they put his son.
Who is his son?
@@motherhoodsbeauty9279 i think he got confused and thought siggtrigr was ivar's son
@Dimitri Kovač ik i said i think he thought he was his son
He is my second fav character after Uthred
My fav character
The only competant Dane in the entire show
I facepalmed when they decided to kill him... why? why tho? they transformed him from this mastermind viking full of tactics and wistom to... man forget it it's not worth it.
Mate I 100% agree
The 2nd Best Character of the Show. He deserved better ending.
Whomever created this video, bravo. It was beautifully put together.
He reminds me of ragnar from vikings
Sigtryggr did not deserve to die, he would have been able to take able was was rightfully he's; just like uhtred, sigtryggr could have had made a bigger name for himself, he could have even helped uhtred the most considering that they both had things stolen from them... he didn't deserve to die. He was and will always be a man of honor
Amazing video!
Great Charakter, who should get his well deserved spin off!
I cried so damn hard when uhtred had to kill him....I didn't even cry that bad at the final end!
Compared to his Dane similars, Sigtryggr is fucking Alfred lol.
Outside his gang, brother, and fathers, I think Sigtryggr was the only man who truly had Uhtred’s respect. Uhtred respect Alfred as a leader but he never could fully relied on the Saxon king. However, even after Sigtryggr’s death, and after admitting he didn’t stop the tragedy, Uhtred still believed Sigtryggr would support him at Bebbanburg. That spoke volume to me 😢
Gotta love my boy Haesten
🤣 gota give him some love ant we
I hate the man Edward has become, if I were Uhtred I would've told him that he could have built England without the sword that has served the crown longer than his father's and his reign (Uhtred helped Alfred's brother when he was king)
Edwards sons were no better either
@@bonbonvegabon Edward had a great role model, Alfred. That failed though. Edwards sons are like they are because of the guidance they had.
He was ahead of the game in season four and a step behind in season five
He was clearly very crafty and intelligent in season 4, they kinda dumbed him down in season 5.
