@@philliesfan3414 Ivar got stabbed multiple times while bjorn basically died from sepsis and was close to death well before the arrows hit him so abit different comparing them. Also they was all great in there own way, plus you must of not been paying attention to how Ivar proved to be a strong son of ragnar with the tactics he used as well as dealing with his disability to not make him look weak.
The real Bjorn Ironsides was actually king of Sweden instead of Norway. He also never died in battle but live to an old age and died a very wealthy and powerful king. Still got to admit Vikings bjorn went out like a true badass.
Harry just hussh man !! You know it all would ruin a wet Dream !! Hush it up Bro , And let us all enjoy these writers story line in peace !! Geeesh this Nig-Newton would ruin a great movie if he was sitting next to ya in a movie Theater 🍿
The fear and the admiration in his brothers' eyes, especially in Ivar's, is what gets me everytime... As much as Ivar became great and feared by most, even by his brothers, he knew to his core that Bjorn had transcended them, their father and any mortal man before him. I believe this scene right here is where we finally truly see Ivar scared. The man who always claimed to be a god himself started to fear his brother to actually be one.
@@dirtymusiclive Huh... he did. Just as the seer foretold. He unified and became the first true king of all scandinavia, acknowledged by all. He travelled further than any viking before him, avenged his father's death in england and most importantly defeated the rus who would otherwise overthrow the entire viking culture. All this without considering the already huge reputation he had from all the battles he participated in with his father, earning him the title "ironside". The whole point of the show is that Bjorn becomes greater than Ragnar so idk what else to tell you xD
@@user-id6su3nz4q Big respect to Ragnar but his position was handed by fate. He was not into being King or even Earl. He just love discovering. Both of them earned their glory. I think the achievements itself is the only way we can quantify who is more glorious. I love Ragnar more than Bjorn but Bjorn is greater, might be greatest among his brothers as well.
@@coolsquirtlesquad yeah all u said is true but Ragnar Lothbrok was greater than everyone think about it he was a farmer before who became king he is there father and the great viking ever and now they all are drinking ale with odin in valhalla but i miss athelstan too he was different thats why ragnar trusted him more than anyone!
@@AmritAmmz you gotta remember Bjorn was also on the farm & then sided with his mother on the split & came back a beast to ragnar. Opinions are opinions but when the show itself says he surpassed ragnar, that’s a fact. Plus this show is based on real & fictional drama
See that was the problem for vikings in real life, they never stood together, they always raided the fuck outta each other, and then in the end it royally fucked, if they had put aside their differences, they wouldve conquered so much more .
Which is exactly what that first battle with the Great Heathen Army was meant to show. When the sons of Ragnar worked together, they were a completely and utterly unstoppable force. But, vikings will be vikings. They couldn't stop fighting with each other.
@@user-xj3mo2lx9z actually your highly incorrect vikings STOOD together in history and also in real life the sons of ragnar weren't constantly fighting against eachother they actually did work together and they achieved much more than the show here interprets this is a good show but real life history with norseman is quite different there wasn't as much betrayal and deception yes it ovbiously happened but that happened with every group of people ESPECIALLY the British those mfs betrayed eachother on the daily.
For all his flaws, Bjorn died a true Norse king. Ragnar was badass and fearless when he died, but Bjorn gave his last breath on his horse, rising his sword in signal of leading his people to victory and freedom until the end. He deserved his burial and place in Valhalla.
Ivar carried the intelligence of his father, but lacked mercy and bodily strength. Hvitserk carried his fathers addictive nature and inner struggles, but embraced what Ragnar could not, redemption. Bjorn epitomised the raw strength of Ragnar but carried his proclivity for women and the problems that came with it. Ubbe was the only one who escaped, and embraced a chance at a better life. The only one of his sons, who truly made it… beyond a life of war and death.
Ubbe represented the father and farmer in Ragnar. He never wanted power, it was forced upon him, same with Ubbe, he never sort power. Before that he was a happy farmer and a good father. For me the story went full circle with Ubbe ultimately ending his story how Ragnar's started Ubbe was the closest to Ragnar not just in looks but character. Season 1-3 Ragnar and Ubbe are basically the same guy.
Bjorn Ironside’s heroic death to me evokes the image of the “draugr”, the mythological undead viking warriors with an undying spirit. Even inside his burial mound, Bjorn is positioned on his horse with his sword raised, defending his horde, like the draugr of Scandinavian folklore and myth. Amazing!
They say he was greater, but was he really though? Like his sons invoked his name like it has power. Their fame is based off of his as well. Ragnar did a lot to bring his people to new places. I don’t see how bjorn was greater. I agree he was great though
@@yoboyrob201 Bjorn was able to unite all of Norway. Ragnar couldn’t. Bjorn has traveled farther than Ragnar ever could. And Bjorn was invincible even in death. Bjorn Ironside is. GREATER
@@brokenanimalz2570 technically Ragnar was able to unite Norway at his death. Sure bjorn may have gone further, when he went to the Mediterranean. But let’s not forget. Ragnar got them to England and Paris. How soon we forget. Bjorn took a handful of people to wherever he went. Ragnar was doin big things. His death not only was able to unite so many of his people, but they literally never stop talking about him throughout the show. He was so great that they thought he was decendant from Odin himself. Had there been an election for king of all Norway when Ragnar was ruling, he would have easily won. Bjorn did not. Yes I get that there was political maneuvering. But Ragnar still would have won. He by far was the more famous
@@jiawilliams7664 however you feel about the colony in England, doesn’t matter. He brought his people to new lands where they held a significant presence for a very long time. In Paris, it literally took his brother betraying him for him not to just do what he wanted there. Not a knock on Ragnar. That’s just Paris having a cheat code. Both of those places Ragnar successfully raided. England multiple times and Paris at least once. Literally the best thing Bjorn did was unite everyone at his death to defeat the Ruse. Also leading the great army. But that was more a combined effort from all his sons more than anything. Ragnar was way more influential. As I said, his sons are famous purely off the back of Ragnar.
@@TheMrgoodmanners too bad there was no way to prove this claim, so it's up to the individual to decide what they want to believe. Ragnar believed he was Bjorn's father and Bjorn believed the same, that's all that matters.
you said what I have been knowing inside me!!! but kings and queens know when they going to die, and they know whom will they die in hands off.....Ragnar was had love for his SONS....
Hvitserk is a enigma you find clear parts of ragnars personality in each son but its difficult to find it for him. I believe he was ragnars humanity and his weakness and despair.
Ragnar died a prisoner in a pit of snakes. Bjorn, while knocking on deaths door many hours after having been run through with a sword, dawned full battle rattle, mounted a big ass steed and rode alone up to the front of and faced off against the largest army any Viking had ever seen. He took three direct arrow hits essentially center mass and stayed in the saddle, and still stared down his enemy. Then he drew his sword and was joined by every man woman and child strong enough to pick up a weapon and defend their homeland, and then it was Game F’n On. Yeah one of the two Deaths between Ragnar and Bjorn is a little more epic than the other and I don’t think it involves any snakes.
He and Ragnar both died as martyrs. In death, they united and motivated their people in ways that no living man could. Such amazing writing in this show….there will never be another quite like it
@@j.vinton4039While that’s true. Those are just great Kings and men or scholars. Either Roman or a type of Saxon etc. Great men of many. But when you think of the greatest Viking of all time. You think of only Bjorn Ironside or Ragnar. But Ragnars historical legitimacy is still being debated. Bjorns isn’t.
This was easily my favorite episode of the franchise. The little boy we’ve seen grown up to become a man and a true leader of his people. Still brings a tear to my eye. Valhalla was roaring when they heard Bjorn Ironside was finally coming home especially becoming the true King of Norway to finally defeat Ivar. It took his death, but Bjorn wins the war of the Ragnarsons
Bjorn was badass died a real King 👑 and for his people. Watching him grow throughout the whole series and to see his death makes you feel you actually know his life. He truly was Ragnors son a true legend
@@ball_is_lifelife_is_a_ball4682 nothing backs that but rollo saying it one time raised by Ragnar looks like Ragnar behaves like Ragnar that is ragnars son😂
So many people think he’s Rollos son I don’t think he is, like he said to Rollo, who did he look more like who’s spirit did he have and so forth, Bjorn was nothing like Rollo and did in fact though not biologically true in real life, look more like Ragnar, I’ve never bought into him being Rollos I think that’s what Rollo wants to believe and I think he tried to force that belief on Lagertha because he always wanted her to be his.
@@jacobc4796 exactly I ain’t taking Rollos word over Bjorns characteristics, and bond he had with Ragnar. And just for arguments sake even worst case scenario if he was Rollos son biologically (which i highly doubt) he is Ragnars son regardless if he was his blood or not
i dont think he is Rollo's son, remember when seer told ragnar prophecies about his son and he is referring to Bjorn. That's why he is not Rollo's son for sure.
I had goosebumps in this scene! This has to be the most epic medieval fictional death #1 Not even Game Of Thrones come close to killing off a character this good
born by greatest shieldmaiden in history and greatest man in viking live like a freeman and die like hero even when you die, you win the battle! farewell bjorn ironside, see you on valhalla, the breave man on earth❤
Over 1,000 years later and Bjorn Ironside is still remembered. There are many famous historical figures in our time. But it’s very rare for one man to stand above them. Greatest Roman of all time? Caesar? Spartacus? Greatest Frenchman? Charlemagne? Napoleon? Englishman? Alfred the Great? Churchill?… Greatest Viking? Only Bjorn Ironside. Ragnars historical accuracy is still being debated to this day.
Spartacus was not a Roman. He was the greatest gladiator to ever live. A slave king who made Rome tremble. Bjorn is awesome, but Spartacus as well stands out in his own right. No other gladiator ever compared, he’s in a league of his own. And in this show there are many historical inaccuracies about bjorn. Spartacus was as true to the real character as it gets.
To me Björn Ironside Lothbrok Ragnarsson had many names: The Bear Of Kattegat, The Leader of The Heathen Army, Son Of Ragnar, Bjorn The Great, & Of Course The KING OF ALL NORWAY/SWEDEN
Bjorn in my opinion went out like a true warrior true will power and determination to never show weakness and give up. He accomplished more than Ragnar ever did. He brought all of Norway together
Can't help but come back to this again and again. What a season ot turned out to be. Lagatha's burial was equally as good. To think I almost stopped watching in the middle of the series, when Ragna returned and was addicted. Those 15 or so episodes were terrible. The last season made up for it!
I love how Hvitserk had a brotherly love speech for Ivar and Bjorn, Bjorns speech is same thing Ragnar said when he died, very cool. Hvitserk was a underrated character imo that dude could kick ass
the feeling of he being brought back to life after the arrows hit him..... he was a true norway and bersker king with the scream of "CHARGE" for his last breath
I'll bring you a beer on Christmas Björn. Hero of the North. Proud to live in viking country . My family runs back at least 500 yr in Sweden. See you in Valhalla.SKÅL
This might be my single favorite scene in television history. It felt so correct for the character. Bjorn was always meant to be unstoppable, it only made sense that he leave this world on his terms
Björn had the best death in the Series handsdown. Only followed second by the legend himself: Ragnar. Imo why Björn's death is the best is that it's a pure parallel between Ragnar's death rallying the great Heathen army for Vengeance, while Björn's death Rallied Everyone from Norway to become the Ironside to the Rus, defending their home! Plus Snake pit Poetry makes Björn's death even more epic.
From the cinematography to the actung to the storyline to the literal majesty of it all put together- this is a CRIMINALLY underrated series and deserves SO much more accolades AND viewership!! Its BIZARRE that so few ppl are even AWARE of if the show!!! Top tier.
Amen to that! It is so damn motivating. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody get back on their feet, on their horse, knowing they are going to DIE, gets shot with 3 arrows, manages to raise his sword in the air to call on his army, and sits on THE horse with a last breath. That’s not a king that just dies in his bed like most other kings do, THAT is a true King that wanted a victory on the battlefield before death.
He lived the life of but a man But died a legend. Such a man can never die... For in life we are judged by our sins In death we are all but forgotten But in the sands of time, one grain can make a difference For legends never die, for men can only follow their own path Forged in fire, hardened in steel And but for the flame of love, the desire to protect Even the Earth trembles at such a man. Lesser men may only feel but a glimpse of what life But he who dies here, has lived many lives And dies for those closest to him Whether for a love, a country, or for those who he may never know His legend will live forever, the heart of a warrior, the strength of a knight And for the glory of those who will live in the shadow of freedom Born of flesh, sung of by the faithful, and whose light shines forever.
5:18 and the next 20 seconds. I'm absolutely in love. As in, my god that scene is perfect. Encapsulates every single bit of the Norse spirit down to the bone marrow - and that is exactly how a seasoned warrior would proceed in such battles. And such mastery and abandon. Just love it love it, and the hair sway and... everything 😅
That's why Bjorn & Ragnar are the real ones. United everyone together and died without a single tear of fear dropped. Not like the Ivar the cripple angry boy that died with fear on the real moment
This is the best scene ever made , ALL is perfect, see this hundred times and got emocional every one , master piece !! A true Warrior, a true leader , a true legend !!!
Yeah, I couldn’t buy that one either. They should’ve gone straight to England and formed an army with the already existing Danes around Wessex, it would be a whole lot more believable that they’d be up for joining Ivar against Wessex than the people of Kattegat.
@@ahmedkulashie7361 most of the events that happen in Vikings is pure fiction or a gross perversion of history. most of the characters that know each other in this story werent even aware of each other irl dont see this as a documentary lmao, its an alt historic show, its great but its not real. like irl Harald was the king of Norway and never had any contact with bjorn
Halfdan was a vital point in the next sequences of events for Bjorn. If he were still alive he and Bjorn would be conquering countries far more lavish and dominant than Norway and Bjorn wouldn't be foolishly fighting for votes to become King of Norway or being foolishly trapped by Ivar. With Halfdan, Bjorn could have even killed Ivar without even being physically present there, thanks to all the travels, acquaintances and high-ranking allies he would have made in his trip with Halfdan. Halfdan's death was a real disappointment for me because in my opinion he was a much more interesting character than Harald. He could have formed with Bjorn a brotherly love much more powerful than blood ties such as Ragnar and Athelstan, and conquered Cassia's heart (the only woman he was attracted to) by living peacefully in North Africa.
What a perfect music choice. It’s like Bjorn has one foot in the real world and one in the afterlife, with all of the voices of Valhalla and Ragnar himself with him. An invincible demigod come to haunt the Rus and bring the wrath of all Norway upon them. The writing got a bit wonky in the late seasons, but this scene was 10/10.
“the kings & queens, Jarls & Earls of Norway. answered the summons of bjorn ironside & came to save their country. For he Was truly the king of all Norway! For no one else could have united the people & brought victory over the rus” I was sobbing when I heard those words 😭😭 rip Bjorn ironside
For those who have experienced VIKINGS, to watch a little boy a son of Ragnar who lived in his Father's shadow and then become a man and then inevitably lose all the heroes, lovers and family and way of life, to be treacherously defeated in what anyone would consider his birthright but still give EVERYTHING for the sake of your people. What a story.
Imagine the first arrow would have landed in his head, Bjorn plunged to the ground and his army would just awkwardly stroll over the hill because without him summoning them how are they going to know when to make their dramatic charge? 😂
After all this time still one of my favourite scenes. The moment they realise that they were prepared to fight to the last man, woman and child even before the reinforcements arrived. So powerful
That Stoic gasp and the cross of fear defined Bjorn Ironside. If he was petty he could have long killed sons of Aslaugh but he is the biggest man bigger even then Ragnar. Bjorn and legartha were bigger and mightiest of the Vikings.
This is definitely the most badass scene from the whole series, the 2nd would have to be Ragnars “ I am king” scene and not sure which scene I would say is worthy of the 3rd spot 🤔 … either ivars “ I AM IVAR THE BONELESS!!!!!!” Or when ivar outsmarted king aelle and it showed how fucking massive the great army was lol 🤷🏽♂️, definitely one of the two but they were both great and it’s fucking difficult to decide between the two but this scene here is definitely number 1 … Rest In Peace king Bjorn🤴🏼💪🏼
"farewell my brother, it gladens me to know that Odin makes ready the benches for a feast, soon you will be drinking ale from curved horns. The Valkyries summon you home."
During their death scenes both Bjorn and Ragnar hardly made a sound apart from a couple of grunts. No cries of pain or anything, that’s pretty badass
Only Ivar cried XD
Same goes for Halfdan and King Harald!

@@chuggon7595 same with Alexander the Great. As long as humans breath; we’ll remember those giants of antiquity.
@@j.vinton4039While that’s true. Those are just great Kings and men or scholars. Either Roman or a type of Saxon etc. Great men of many. But when you think of the greatest Viking of all time. You think of only Bjorn Ironside or Ragnar. But Ragnars historical legitimacy is still being debated. Bjorns isn’t.
This was easily my favorite episode of the franchise. The little boy we’ve seen grown up to become a man and a true leader of his people. Still brings a tear to my eye. Valhalla was roaring when they heard Bjorn Ironside was finally coming home especially becoming the true King of Norway to finally defeat Ivar. It took his death, but Bjorn wins the war of the Ragnarsons
Bjorn was badass died a real King 👑 and for his people. Watching him grow throughout the whole series and to see his death makes you feel you actually know his life. He truly was Ragnors son a true legend
Well, he was Rollo's son. But, it doesn't matter. He was badass!
@@ball_is_lifelife_is_a_ball4682 nothing backs that but rollo saying it one time raised by Ragnar looks like Ragnar behaves like Ragnar that is ragnars son😂
So many people think he’s Rollos son I don’t think he is, like he said to Rollo, who did he look more like who’s spirit did he have and so forth, Bjorn was nothing like Rollo and did in fact though not biologically true in real life, look more like Ragnar, I’ve never bought into him being Rollos I think that’s what Rollo wants to believe and I think he tried to force that belief on Lagertha because he always wanted her to be his.
@@jacobc4796 exactly I ain’t taking Rollos word over Bjorns characteristics, and bond he had with Ragnar. And just for arguments sake even worst case scenario if he was Rollos son biologically (which i highly doubt) he is Ragnars son regardless if he was his blood or not
i dont think he is Rollo's son, remember when seer told ragnar prophecies about his son and he is referring to Bjorn. That's why he is not Rollo's son for sure.
This moment gave me chills. This show was amazing. I loved the characters and the actors that played them.
I had goosebumps in this scene! This has to be the most epic medieval fictional death #1 Not even Game Of Thrones come close to killing off a character this good
Bjorn was so hood
Yea that was pretty damn savage RESPECT💯
The Battle of the Bastards on Game of Thrones is on par with this one!
@@MichaelA-lf2bi hell nah
Farewell Bjorn, it was an honour to see your tale in life, till we meet again in Valhalla
True legend 🙌💪
@@yzdan Heroes will rise and fall, live and die, but legends are immortal
His story will live forever
If you were a Indian and specifically Maharashtrian there was a bjyong iron side in real
Valhalla is closed ever since America start thinking about how many genders they can have
born by greatest shieldmaiden in history and greatest man in viking
live like a freeman
and die like hero
even when you die, you win the battle!
farewell bjorn ironside, see you on valhalla, the breave man on earth❤
Bjorn didnt die until he knew Kattegat was gonna be safe.
I was saddened by Ragnor's death but my eyes did not get wet. Bjorn' death brought tears to my eyes. He has always done good.
the moment when all kings and queens and earls come to help bjorn and listen to his call is just from another level😍 love it best series 👑
He may not have been a god, but he was a fkn legend.
All hail to Bjorn Ironside, the true king of norsemen!
4:35 "In that moment Oleg knew...he f*cked up..."
3:16 U can tell Ganbaatar is thinking I’ve never seen anything like this.😨
1:20 "My ancestors are smiling upon me, Rus. Can you say the same?"
Да
Over 1,000 years later and Bjorn Ironside is still remembered. There are many famous historical figures in our time. But it’s very rare for one man to stand above them. Greatest Roman of all time? Caesar? Spartacus? Greatest Frenchman? Charlemagne? Napoleon? Englishman? Alfred the Great? Churchill?…
Greatest Viking? Only Bjorn Ironside.
Ragnars historical accuracy is still being debated to this day.
Spartacus was not a Roman. He was the greatest gladiator to ever live. A slave king who made Rome tremble. Bjorn is awesome, but Spartacus as well stands out in his own right. No other gladiator ever compared, he’s in a league of his own. And in this show there are many historical inaccuracies about bjorn. Spartacus was as true to the real character as it gets.
To me Björn Ironside Lothbrok Ragnarsson had many names: The Bear Of Kattegat, The Leader of The Heathen Army, Son Of Ragnar, Bjorn The Great, & Of Course The KING OF ALL NORWAY/SWEDEN
One of the greatest cinematic scenes ever.. don’t care what nobody says 🔥🔥🔥
Bjorn in my opinion went out like a true warrior true will power and determination to never show weakness and give up. He accomplished more than Ragnar ever did. He brought all of Norway together
Can't help but come back to this again and again. What a season ot turned out to be. Lagatha's burial was equally as good.
To think I almost stopped watching in the middle of the series, when Ragna returned and was addicted.
Those 15 or so episodes were terrible. The last season made up for it!
I love how Hvitserk had a brotherly love speech for Ivar and Bjorn, Bjorns speech is same thing Ragnar said when he died, very cool. Hvitserk was a underrated character imo that dude could kick ass
the best vikings moment in my opinion... considering all Bjorn's build since the beginning of the series... epic and dignified death.
the feeling of he being brought back to life after the arrows hit him..... he was a true norway and bersker king with the scream of "CHARGE" for his last breath
This is so epic, no words really to describe it. Possibly the best character death ive ever seen
I wish ubbe was there with his brother one more time
I'll bring you a beer on Christmas Björn. Hero of the North. Proud to live in viking country . My family runs back at least 500 yr in Sweden. See you in Valhalla.SKÅL
Some random homeless guy sees the beer and took it
This might be my single favorite scene in television history. It felt so correct for the character. Bjorn was always meant to be unstoppable, it only made sense that he leave this world on his terms
This sendoff for Bjorn delivered far better than the Long Night ever did in GoT.
Everything is better than the long night. The long night was a shit scene it's just blackness
Llore por ragnar, llore por lagerta y llore por bjorn y senti lastima por floki que gran serie
Björn had the best death in the Series handsdown. Only followed second by the legend himself: Ragnar.
Imo why Björn's death is the best is that it's a pure parallel between Ragnar's death rallying the great Heathen army for Vengeance, while Björn's death Rallied Everyone from Norway to become the Ironside to the Rus, defending their home!
Plus Snake pit Poetry makes Björn's death even more epic.
I grew up watching Vikings, Ragnar and Bjorn are men that will never be duplicated
Love the music that play when either ragnar dies or one of his sons it's badass
Bjorn ironside and Ragnar lothbrok death made me cry😭
This music just chills into spines
From the cinematography to the actung to the storyline to the literal majesty of it all put together- this is a CRIMINALLY underrated series and deserves SO much more accolades AND viewership!! Its BIZARRE that so few ppl are even AWARE of if the show!!! Top tier.
That's the coolest death scene In history
Amen to that! It is so damn motivating. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody get back on their feet, on their horse, knowing they are going to DIE, gets shot with 3 arrows, manages to raise his sword in the air to call on his army, and sits on THE horse with a last breath. That’s not a king that just dies in his bed like most other kings do, THAT is a true King that wanted a victory on the battlefield before death.
How easy it is to put into your head that it really happened. Vikings didn't have an iPhone 😄
@cloudatlas3779 what?
Sad that the vikings are gone and none exist in this day and age. Ragnar, bjorn and Ubbe seem like they were great men!
He lived the life of but a man
But died a legend.
Such a man can never die...
For in life we are judged by our sins
In death we are all but forgotten
But in the sands of time, one grain can make a difference
For legends never die, for men can only follow their own path
Forged in fire, hardened in steel
And but for the flame of love, the desire to protect
Even the Earth trembles at such a man.
Lesser men may only feel but a glimpse of what life
But he who dies here, has lived many lives
And dies for those closest to him
Whether for a love, a country, or for those who he may never know
His legend will live forever, the heart of a warrior, the strength of a knight
And for the glory of those who will live in the shadow of freedom
Born of flesh, sung of by the faithful, and whose light shines forever.
This was the most epic death scene I ever see in my life... Farewell Vikings Farewell...
2:21 my fiancé started balling her eyes outs. This was her first episode.
Don't tell her about Ragnar!
Lol she's in for a hell of a Rollercoaster
Women love NOTHING MORE than a warrior.
❤
i cant stop watching this scene its just so powerfull and astonishing a masterpiece
Choked on tears on this
Same here tried not to cry 😢 in this episode.
The moment he drew the sword, you lost. Wars are won in the will.
this scene cant be described in swords how far a viking could go . and how much hearttaken this scene is. ♥
5:18 and the next 20 seconds.
I'm absolutely in love.
As in, my god that scene is perfect. Encapsulates every single bit of the Norse spirit down to the bone marrow - and that is exactly how a seasoned warrior would proceed in such battles. And such mastery and abandon. Just love it love it, and the hair sway and... everything 😅
It's probably nonsense though. Not likely that women would ever beat a man in such a situation.
I know, I know. That's not a popular take.
Greatest moment of the series. Couldnt hold my tears
Did anyone ever look this badass while dying?
Jax teller - sons of anarchy
God damn I can't watch this without crying like a baby
That's why Bjorn & Ragnar are the real ones. United everyone together and died without a single tear of fear dropped. Not like the Ivar the cripple angry boy that died with fear on the real moment
No one can unite all the kingdom of Norway but he did
The man who could not die is buried here. But is still alive.
This is the best scene ever made , ALL is perfect, see this hundred times and got emocional every one , master piece !! A true Warrior, a true leader , a true legend !!!
Can't believe after all this, Ivar, and Hvitsverk just return to kattigat like nothing happened. Pure BS in writing
Yeah, I couldn’t buy that one either. They should’ve gone straight to England and formed an army with the already existing Danes around Wessex, it would be a whole lot more believable that they’d be up for joining Ivar against Wessex than the people of Kattegat.
The movie based on Viking saga , so i curse it couldn’t altered to that extent
@@ahmedkulashie7361 What do you mean? They didn’t actually side with the Rus against their own in history.
@@ahmedkulashie7361 most of the events that happen in Vikings is pure fiction or a gross perversion of history.
most of the characters that know each other in this story werent even aware of each other irl
dont see this as a documentary lmao, its an alt historic show, its great but its not real.
like irl Harald was the king of Norway and never had any contact with bjorn
@@user-vv1do1wg1j yeah, but ivar and bjorn, ubbe, halfdan, sigurd, were ragnar's sons in real life.
All time when I remember this, the sentence goes through my mind .."for he was truly the king of whole Norway" ..Bjorn
In a way... Vikings was the story of Bjorn
Then it should have ended on this episode. So no, viking is the story of ragnar and his sons.
Such a sick edit of one of my favorite shows of all time.
This is truly the last and final time that that legendary sword shall be raised
Halfdan was a vital point in the next sequences of events for Bjorn. If he were still alive he and Bjorn would be conquering countries far more lavish and dominant than Norway and Bjorn wouldn't be foolishly fighting for votes to become King of Norway or being foolishly trapped by Ivar. With Halfdan, Bjorn could have even killed Ivar without even being physically present there, thanks to all the travels, acquaintances and high-ranking allies he would have made in his trip with Halfdan. Halfdan's death was a real disappointment for me because in my opinion he was a much more interesting character than Harald. He could have formed with Bjorn a brotherly love much more powerful than blood ties such as Ragnar and Athelstan, and conquered Cassia's heart (the only woman he was attracted to) by living peacefully in North Africa.
Bjorn like his father strikes fear even in death. They show zero weakness.
EVEN IN DEATH HE WAS STILL VICTORIOUS. SPEAKS VOLUMES💯
What a perfect music choice. It’s like Bjorn has one foot in the real world and one in the afterlife, with all of the voices of Valhalla and Ragnar himself with him. An invincible demigod come to haunt the Rus and bring the wrath of all Norway upon them. The writing got a bit wonky in the late seasons, but this scene was 10/10.
The end of an era 💔
“the kings & queens, Jarls & Earls of Norway. answered the summons of bjorn ironside & came to save their country. For he Was truly the king of all Norway! For no one else could have united the people & brought victory over the rus”
I was sobbing when I heard those words 😭😭 rip Bjorn ironside
King of kings
For those who have experienced VIKINGS, to watch a little boy a son of Ragnar who lived in his Father's shadow and then become a man and then inevitably lose all the heroes, lovers and family and way of life, to be treacherously defeated in what anyone would consider his birthright but still give EVERYTHING for the sake of your people. What a story.
That Bgm music is killing ❤️
Probably my favourite scene ever in any series!
Imagine the first arrow would have landed in his head, Bjorn plunged to the ground and his army would just awkwardly stroll over the hill because without him summoning them how are they going to know when to make their dramatic charge? 😂
don't spoil the flex lmao
Hahaha lol 😂😂😂
Love love this😂😂😂😂
Died a true Viking death. No noise, no tears, no fear. Impeccable 🫡
HAIL TO THE SON'S OF RAGNAR KINGS OF THE VIKINGS
After all this time still one of my favourite scenes. The moment they realise that they were prepared to fight to the last man, woman and child even before the reinforcements arrived. So powerful
Man, I loved these series....
"If i can't defeat you in battle, i will leave a mine field under your kingdom with my death."
Can't stop watching this
That Stoic gasp and the cross of fear defined Bjorn Ironside.
If he was petty he could have long killed sons of Aslaugh but he is the biggest man bigger even then Ragnar. Bjorn and legartha were bigger and mightiest of the Vikings.
Its really cool to see his burial like this especally when you can still visit his burial site to this day
This is definitely the most badass scene from the whole series, the 2nd would have to be Ragnars “ I am king” scene and not sure which scene I would say is worthy of the 3rd spot 🤔 … either ivars “ I AM IVAR THE BONELESS!!!!!!” Or when ivar outsmarted king aelle and it showed how fucking massive the great army was lol 🤷🏽♂️, definitely one of the two but they were both great and it’s fucking difficult to decide between the two but this scene here is definitely number 1 … Rest In Peace king Bjorn🤴🏼💪🏼
"farewell my brother, it gladens me to know that Odin makes ready the benches for a feast, soon you will be drinking ale from curved horns. The Valkyries summon you home."
Hail dear king Bjorn 🙏🏽
This have me so many chills, besttttty scene ever!!! Footage andmusic, everyhing
The true ending of Vikings
