Yeah. From her actions, she is no better than Aslaug.... I mean to raid a kingdom of your Ex-husband, killing half the people and say "those are my people"...no. Sorry but Lagertha in this scene is villanous.
@@eunbitpark5251 ye they look like invaders too the locals I counted the deaths and roughly 21(excluding Aslaug)of kattegats populace was killed Not counting the hundreds or maybe even thousands killed later because of when lagertha killed Aslaug
Oh, Lagertha, Lagertha - why would you do a heinous thing like that? Attacking your ex-husband's city, killing people you used to rule, your own people, while the men are out raiding?
When Ragnar was opposed to his king or other jarls in previous seasons nobody had Nothing to say but when Lagertha do the same. People bashing her. Pathetic.
Exactly man. I just posted the same above and have commented it a few times. Borg literally did the same because Horik used Ragnar to tell him they were cutting him out of the very allegiance Ragnar coerced Horik and Borg into 4 years earlier and what does he get for it? Tricked back into Kattegat only to have Ragnar betray him a second time, has his men burned alive and is beaten bloody only to have Ragnar with no qualms or second thoughts subject him to the blood eagle where fortunately he doesn't scream even while people pass out around him from the brutality of it. Meanwhile Lagertha does identical, waits until Bjorn has taken the Warriors with him and Floki, attacks what remains of Kattegat and begins shooting on them during a stalemate only to call it off and be welcomed with open arms by the people the very next day where she kills Aslaug, betraying her (regardless of right or wrong) and seizes the throne with literally no consequences beyond Ivar's eternal revenge scheme. Insanity.
How is it pathetic for people bashing her? She just atacked and slaughtered her own people, those people were her neighbours and were Ragnar's subjects (whose legacy she claims to uphold). And then she says "these are my people" after killing half the town. Jarl Borg at least had actual reasons to atack Ragnar.
Lagertha walked in there like a straight-up cold-blooded viking boss. Iconic. These scenes had so much action and the costuming is fantastic as well, such a good show!
Invading Kattegat was the most wicked thing I have ever seen on Vikings. I know its the warrior Viking culture, but that's no excuse. What Lagertha did is not badass, it's just cruel and selfish. Vikings killing Vikings, and for what? One bitter and jealous woman (or two) and a catfight.. "These are my people"??? Haha maybe you should have thought about that earlier....
yeah i thought that was ridiculous af she slaughters helpless farmers and then goes like " oh no pls stop these are my people im such a generous woman"
Your comment is like an excuse to move into someone's house with your children and then expect the owner to let you stay because throwing you out would harm them. What Lagertha did is not just Viking. It's common sense.
promethean, you make no sense, it was not lagerthas in first place, it was ragnars, and ragnar left it to his children, lagertha killed mother of bjorns brothers, she knew it would lead into civil war between brothers, she did it because aslaug stole ragnar from her, she did it out of jealousy, what a bitch
Personal reasons don't matter to me. They matter to pussies. The important thing is that she took back her house. Else she would be nothing and no one would remember her name. Funny that you watched 4 seasons of Vikings and you still don't understand their way of life.
I like the warrior lagertha but I can't really take it serious anymore. Even if we take that she was an exceptional fighter (which would be needed to stand amongst male fighters, a bit like ronda roussy) and that she was about 15 when she had Bjorn (generous but not impossible in those times) she is ATLEAST in her late 40's/early 50's by this time in the series . Not wanting to be sexist here but there is just no biological way a 50 year old woman (also having suffered multiple miscarriages and war wounds) can keep kicking young fighters' asses all the time
obiwanfx Shes a warrior, a fighter, a shieldmaiden, a mother, a lover and a queen. She's suffered through so many losses, and she's come back stronger than ever. So a woman that has gone through hell can kick ass. That's what makes her a warrior. She doesn't give up.
obiwanfx welp that’s butchered timelines for you like when Björn sailed to Spain....if he was indeed born in 781 man had to well into his 70s-80s to have attacked Spain in 859
Am i the only one who hated this battle scene? The fighting is so bad, people killed by getting sliced on the arm. And there is no blood effects on the bodys or the weapons, it looks so boring and fake..
nowhere does it show they died, if you get sliced across the arm by an attacking army would you try to stand back up and get sliced and killed for sure or would you stay down? Lagertha did not want to kill them either she stopped it and said these are my people. Just because one fall down and is still does not mean they died.
I agree, apparently the only good thing that happened in this battle scene was Shield Wall no more no less. I hope the next battles are better than this. P.S. After watching this battle scene I watched the battle scene where Aethelwulf and CO. battles Mercian rebels and rescue Kwentrith
This battle scene was good but not the best however there's something about Astrid that just makes me cringe, in all honesty I think she could be the worst side character to have come out of Vikings she just isn't interesting
I love it. Lagertha does identical to what Borg did back in Season 2 and gets none of the punishment but all of the reward. Out of nowhere she, with the help of Torvi, now a complete and utter question mark when it comes to allegiance (married to Bjorn but has a higher allegiance to Lagertha due to her protecting Guthrum as a kid from Erlendur?), Margerethe and Astrid trick the remaining sons of Ragnar and keep them locked up, initiates an assault on Kattegat while it's best warriors are off with Bjorn, where she kills a decent portion of the remaining inhabitants first by armed combat then arrows when there's a stalemate before simply being able to call it off to the welcoming arms of the people she was just trying to kill. From this she's able to kill Aslaug and become Queen of Kattegat. Borg literally did the same thing and was duly betrayed by Ragnar and Rollo and mercilessly blood eagled for it. He's betrayed by Horik who uses Ragnar, sadly refusing to do what's right and argue against excluding Borg from the very alliance he pushed the two men into, as his errand boy to rid themselves of Borg. Borg in response attacks Kattegat, again, first on foot then with arrows as he tries to get the inhabitants to surrender, having killed a good portion of the remaining people and at last overwhelms them to become it's temporary ruler. For this he is subsequently driven out (Fair enough) only to be called right back to Kattegat by Ragnar, Horik and Rollo in a ruse where they trick him into false hospitality once he's admitted his part in the wrongdoings of the past, where they burn his men alive, beat him to a pulp and then subject him to their most brutal execution available, the blood eagle. Funny how Lagertha escaped all the nastiness during her assault on Kattegat but gained all of the perks.
i really hated largatha in this. she is such a good person and loyal to ragnar and his family. i understand she hated the qween. but she killed some of ragnars people and locked up his sons so they would not try to stop her. and so the only thing she now cares about is power??!! she changed and not for the better in my opinion!!
@@NicolasHazen if you think about it she ruled by herself while ragnar was away for years. She may have been a shitty person but she was a good queen. Kategat thrived and grew while she ruled.
@@amandagarza8154 When Lagertha and Ragnar were king and queen, Kattegat was legit nothing but a bundle of toothpicks by the sea. Same with Lagertha's Earldom. She was not an impressive ruler at all.

Lagertha was an inspirational symbol of strength to her people but from what you can gather from the sets of the show, she was more fit for being a warrior than an actual queen.
In Vikings Kattegat is the seat of Earl Haraldson, and the center of his powers. Events such as The Thing and other meetings among the Vikings are held in Kattegat. It's also the center of commerce for the area, especially considering its location in a fjord and its access to sea travel. Farmers, such as Ragnar, and producers of various goods, rely on Kattegat as the primary market where they can sell their goods. Later, after Haraldson is slain in single combat by Ragnar, the Lothbrok family abandons its farm, which had been put to the torch by the Earl's men, and relocates to Kattegat, where Ragnar rules as the new Earl.
3:27 Hi, I come here, because I have a question. Recently, I'm reading Norse Mythology's Collection Books about Vikings Gods and Heros in my country, I began to buy books through I saw Vikings. Well, I discovered about the reading one part that Sigfrido "Viking Hero who gets a Avenging Sword to Kill the Fafnir's Dragon". Soo, Is that Gram's Sword of his Father "Sigfrido belongs to Aslaug?
Mate now coming across it you literally got it spot on before me. I just posted the same above.

they started killing the farmers outside kattegat...then when people, not the fighters (they are out with bjorn) start to defend lagertha's forces slaughter them with arrows...
It has been 3 years sorry for that. Thats always the case in fighter regions. Spartans couldnt unite greek people, Turks and mongols couldnt unite their people and so on. There are only limited times they are united. Ragnars time, Ottomans time and when persians attacked Spartans time. It is so incredible how they perform when united. But fighters are killers. Thats just how it is. Spartans hold great persian armies with just hundreds of men. Imagine they fought other nations instead of other greeks. Thats the case of Ottomans. There were like 15 or more "beyliks" like Ottomans after seljuqlu period. Only Ottomans choose to fight byzantines instead of each other.
none of it was necessary but yes Lagertha wanted it to look like she fought for the seat she was sitting on. after all doing the right thing is not always the right option
Its in Norway not Denmark. Yes there is a real mini island called Kattegat but A: I think the town is fictional and B: You get places having the same name.
I do agree that there are a disproportionately many women involved in combat throughout several seasons. Maybe there are plenty of women for hire as casting extras or whatever. In reality I guess they would have been at home raising kids and doing household chores. Then again, viking societies did have slaves, and when the men are away somebody needs to keep the slaves down - like Sparta. Or as we've seen in the series, feuding going on between various lords in which case they would need to defend their own homes. In Japan during the Edo period, the wives of the samurai class were expected to make the last stand and received training in the use of naginata. But this show is after all based on a saga about a character who might not even have existed, who among other things married a shield-maiden (and according what's written on wikipedia there is no evidence that shield-maidens actually existed). I still love the series.
wit bat Ah perhaps in this scene agree with you :) And for the chainmail, not all the time. Only chief or leader. Commun warrior don't have the money for it and not really easy to swim with.

King Wacky Bullshit. How about you read an actual history book before you make such claims, based on a fictional series? "The Old Norse word vikingar is *exclusively applied to men*, usually those who sailed from Scandinavia in groups to engage in the activities of raiding and trading in Britain, Europe and the East. (...) Most women's lives were bounded by hearth and home, but they had great influence within this sphere. The keys with which many were buried symbolise their responsibility for, and control over, the distribution of food and clothing to the household." www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/vikings/women_01.shtml Professor Judith Jesch, University of Nottingham,: "It is likely that there were occasions when women had to defend themselves and their families as best they could, with whatever weapons were to hand. *But there is absolutely no hard evidence that women trained or served as regular warriors in the Viking Age.* Valkyries were an object of the imagination, creatures of fantasy rooted in the experience of male warriors. War was certainly a part of Viking life, but women warriors must be classed as Viking legend."
Alex König Everyone is strong when they are about to die. Pain is the biggest limiting factor to strength if you were about to die would you care about a little pain, for example a girl lifted a truck off her father during a fire. Can you lift a truck right now? no you can't but if you or someone you cared about was stuck underneath that truck then 25% less muscle mass becomes irrelevant.
The Internet How can there be women who got raped, then? According to you they would mutate in some female hulk and throw trucks around. lol. Let's say for the sake of argument that your flawed description of the effect of an adrenaline rush would be correct. It would be absolutely irrelevant because in a battle, men and women would have the same effect and the additional growth of strength would happen *proportionally* to your muscle mass. It's still your muscles which frees these additional reserves.
Lagertha was good , she even accepted queen aslaug untill they made her gay🤦🏽♂️, now she's bitter, jealous and all the bad features of Lgbtq community.
