Episode 1
A Good Treason
"Vikings" transports us to the brutal world of Ragnar Lothbrok, a Viking warrior and farmer who yearns to explore and raid the distant shores across the ocean as ambition and innovation rattle his civilization.

I loved that they included this scene, since earlier in the show, Bjorn said how he came to love Athelstan after getting over his misgivings over him being an outsider. Let's not forget Athelstan actually lived in Ragnar's home for a long while, and took on the role of caretaker, almost like the equivalent of an in-house nanny, especially for the kids. It would make sense that Bjorn would have wanted justice for Athelstan.
Also Athelstan was like a brother to Ragnar so he’d be like an uncle to bjorn
Bjorn loved Athelstan like an uncle
Loves*
He should have loved Floki like his big brother or second dad then
@@aphrodi6311 but it was athelstan who looked after bjorn and gyda when they were children while ragnar was away. Athelstan who saved ragnar from drowning. True, ragnar owes much of his achievements to floki. But his, and his family's, connection to athelstan was more personal. Ragnar even admitted that he loved athelstan more than floki.
Uncle? You see full scene? Bjorn hate Athelstan
@@mkvc2457 at the beginning yes, but not later
The moment I really appreciated Bjorn in a while
Úlfviðr Fair hair floki was arrested for killing athelstan who was ragnars best friend who he was jealous of
Úlfviðr Fairhair he deserved to be arrested
Úlfviðr Fairhair athelstan was a free viking in law when floki killed him, he deserved clearly the arrest.
Úlfviðr Fairhair so you lived in those days to know that the history on this is actually accurate? And how did he commit treason when he was a Christian first?
It's like Ragnar told Aslug it about loyalty and even after He refound God he choose to stay with Ragnar and go to Paris. Floki was wrong killing him since Ragnar was ruler and said no harm to him.
This show always made me alternate between loving and hating Floki.
did he ever apologize for killing athelstan and other monks?
@@alexisreyes351 no, he doesn't regret it one bit
@@alexisreyes351 Ragnar did too kill monks as I remember.
Why ever hate Floki? He did what he believed was right. You can’t blame him. He did not agree with Athelstan as a person and did not buy him becoming Pagan.
Floki was still the main pioneer and most loyal friend to Ragnar, till the very end
@@jel1951 I absolutely agree. Although he had to accept and appreciate Athelstan for making all those raids possible and teaching them languages and cultures etc.
anyone notice how much of an influence athelstan had on Ubbe too. Not just what he says later in the show, "you have no idea what that name means to me" (someone mentions athelstans name) and the look on his face in this scene.
Ubbe heard some stories but the guy never knew him.
@@OfficialDenzy um yea he did when he was little
JUSTICE FOR ATHELSTAN
The first 4 seasons were so much better than the rest
I like the way on how bjron said "riiiiIIICCHH"
0:17
Athelstan was Bjorn's beloved nanny. Bjorn also saw how much Ragnar respected Athelstan, and trying to impress and please his daddy has always been Bjorn's #1 goal in life. LOL. But I don't agree with Bjorn here. Floki's carpentry genius is not easily replaced--he was the mastermind behind the raiding ships' ability to sail all the way to England and the very useful siege towers in Paris. Without Floki, the good raiding ships will be gone within a few years, leaving Ragnar's kingdom wide open to conquest from other Viking earls. Ragnar understood this. As a result he was very pragmatic about seeking revenge, leaving Floki alone to do his thing. Apparently Bjorn doesn't see Floki's importance. Bjorn is a terrible tactician, letting his emotions control his thinking.
I love this scene, Bjorn is really awesome! Alexander Ludwig did an incredible job, he put all his heart into it.❤
Easily Bjorn's best scene ever!
Not anymore my friend. Not anymore.
Also everyone think about this.
He was much more loyal then his Own Brother Rollo who betrayed Ragnar twice. Athletstan was always on Ragnar side. Even when he was captured and almost gets killed before Ecbart pardons him. So an Outsider was more loyal then Blood so Bjorn was like Ragnar and Athelstan had proven his loyalty
Tbh floki was equally loyal to Ragnar. there was pure brotherly bond between them.
@@krabbykat9918I disagree. There was affection and kindness for the most part. Like very close friends. But the brotherly bond was definitely only between Ragnar and Athelstan. At least in my opinion
Well to be fair without Floki's boats Ragnar wouldn't have gone anywhere
Sonja not the point
Sonja that isn't the point. Floki killed Athelstan.
true but he did commit a crime I just hope others would still put that information in their heads
He was not the only boat builder
but ragna paid for those boats
Perfect start up for this season !
0:49 ubbe and hvitserk
Who is your king? RAGNAR!!!! #Vikings
+brcshephard #StannistheMannis
"the north knows no Kinh but the King in the north whos name is Stark"
Vikings are northmen.. and the north knows no King but the King in the north whos name is Stark.
This glance on Flokis face.
I just love Bjorn. Hes my favorite
I started hating Floki when he killed Athelstan. He was jealoused ov him from the very beginning.
Athelstan was a christian👁️👄👁️ since when was it wrong for a viking to kill a christian, since when was it against the viking laws, are they not taught to hate a christian and christian god👁️👄👁️
@@tyriquekader5239 Thats what i find weird. I felt like Athelstan shouldnt have been with the Vikings in the first place so it was satisfying seeing Floke kill him.
@@nuk3407 Athelstan converted to the viking religion...
@@tyriquekader5239 does someone’s religion mean they can be murdered? No. Does that mean that the murderer can escape punishment? Also no. And Vikings were always taught that murder in cold blood is a sign of weakness and is dishonourable. So even there you are wrong.
@@tyriquekader5239 ragnar loved athelstan and floki killed him, thats betrayal, floki was clearly jealous, ragnar was heartbroken so floki deserved what he got
love this show
Nothing will stop mee watching these videos #Vikings
Oww King Björn Ironside
This speech gives goosbumbs❤
floki deserved what he got, ragnar loved athelstan and was broken at his death and floki murdered him out of jealously, murder is murder, if your friend killed your other friend you would be mad with anger, athelstan died like a viking, FEARLESS, rip athelstan
He died on his knees praying. How was this a viking death??
@@joecobb5520 he dies a fearless death , that’s a Viking death to me
@@jbkofi3046 a fearless death was not enough. Warriors wanted to be remembered and feared. Dying on your knees deep in prayer is definetly not glorious by any means. Noble and honorable in its own way sure but thats it.
Yeah no matter how hard ragnor and the rest wanted Athelstan to become Viking they knew we would remain Christian. A Viking death is fight in a duel. Even if Athelstan converted to paganism I doubt floki would give him a sword to Passover to Valhalla
Bjorn lowkey looks like a knight from the roundtable in this clip
Athelstan was my favorite character but I never hated Floki for killing him. His fear was well founded. I mean, Ragnar got baptised and prayed to Jesus Christ with Athelstan. Being a Christan myself I loved those scenes. But to Floki, a strong pagan believer, it must have been hard and troubling seeing your best friend being influenced by a "false" god.
He had any reason to kill him and it seems to be the only person who wasn't shocked but accepted it was Athelstan himself.
Also, he never liked athelstan but only killed him when the gods gave a literal sign that he had to do it
I thought Ragner knew Athelstan was going to be murdered. Surprised to see that he only found out later that's from Flokie, gosh I hate that weirdo. I'm disappointed we didn't get to see the moment Ragner found out Athelstan's death, must be so shocked and devastated.
My favorite character arrested my favorite character who killed my favorite character.
Nahh he did floki dirty. Ragnar already knew but he didn't want to punish floki. But after bjorn he had too
Bjorn gained my respect for this. I loved Athelstan because he was confused with religion. I am too. I came to the realization that I love Jesus Christ, Odin, and Zeus. I believe there is a connection with the three also.
No there isn't. You love false idols
There is a connection with Odin, and Horus the Egyptian GOD.
Moron.
@@joshpotts6316 No one asked your opinion.
The connection between those three is that they're all false Gods who're worshiped as idols
Meanwhile true monotheism only exists in Islam and Judaism
Atrocious! Floki should've been given a medal not been arrested!
Этельстан присматривал за ним и за гидой в детстве. А связи, которые сложились в детстве, очень сильны. Поэтому мы любим своих родителей, братьев, сестер, нянь, бабушек...
Bjorn: ... but who is your king?
People: RAGNARRRRR
In this instance, he was no better than a Christian killing in the “name of god”. Murder is Murder, no amount of “beliefs” will every justify that.
Floki helps Ragnar rise. Without Floki, Ragnar would never sail west and be a King. Floki deserve better than this.
When season 3 began i started to hate Floki's character a bit.
In my opinion Ragnar vision was good for his people and he did his best with his ambition to climb higher and explore and raid other worlds.
Sadly not everyone agreed or shared his vision, and Floki didn't. At least that is what i thought.
He may tried to protect Ragnar by killing Athelstan. But not in my opinion.
Athelstan shared a greater friendship bond and trust with Ragnar in my opinion. Not a friendship everyone knew or saw. But a friendship between Ragnar and Athelstan only! And thus a small friendship between Christ, Odin, Freya, and Thor
i agree with you about all you said, but if i may, i have a clarification: yes, Floki killed Athelstan primarily because he was jealous of his bond with Ragnar, but i believe he did also in order to protect his Gods, for Athelstan had thrown away his armring, i.e. he had given up the Norse gods for his Christian one; Floki saw it and told everyone about it (including Bjorn). Therefore, the only one who could protect Athelstan from all of them was Ragnar, for it wasn't for Floki, it could have been anyone of them. Poor athelstan :(
@@cristinademartini1284 He was extremely paranoid. Athelstan wasn't even actively trying to subvert the norse faith nor was he going around trying to convert people. He was just a man who was sincere with his beliefs and let himself be open to others. In the grand scale of things it was true that the norse faith was destined to be overtaken, but it was never through Athelstan. This is why I couldn't stand Floki, he always claims he does things always for others but it has always been for himself.
@@robertosabado4955 oh sorry, i didn't mean offence towards athelstan: i agree with all you said about him and i liked athelstan and his relationship with ragnar (i'm a firm believer that the norse died inside when the Christian did, as he was no more the same dreamer and idealist man of the beginning), but what i meant is that by throwing the armring he rejected the norse religion: i know that he meant no harm, but Floki wasn't the only one suspicious, as when athelstan did enter the hall, all the norses looked at him with suspect and murder, and even Rollo exposed him. It was like he had a Damocle's sword pending on his head. If Floki didn't, someone else who is a firm believer of his gods would: Floki just had another good reason, which was his paranoidity and jelaousy of the love and respect ragnar had for athelstan.
Spoiler right in the title...
lol
Rip Bjorn IRONSIDE
Waddaya talkin about?
Best scene in Vikings!!!
I can't be the only one who feel bad for Floki, he killed Athealstan, yes, that was not easy to forgive but what he do he do for his beliefs, for Ragnar and trust me I know how it feels when your best friend doesn't hang out with you anymore but to a new guy
Terrorists justify their attacks with religion. That's definitely not easy to forgive, but they do it for their beliefs so that's okay :DDDD
@@cashaliciousdollarious2600 I understand what you mean but have you ever considered what did the Americans do to those countries for them to create so much terrorist
@@minhtri862 You can try and understand their reasoning but the true problem comes when you try to justify their resulting actions.
@@cashaliciousdollarious2600 you can't really apply real world logic to the vikings. It's clear that some semblence of the devine power exists in the show and Floki thought he was fulfilling the will of his gods. You can decide if he was right or wrong though but don't compare him to radical realigious extremists
@@mikoajsmolenski5989 he is a radical religious extremist, murder is murder, he murdered ragnars best friend, thats betrayal, y because he was jealous and cause he believed in another god, athelstan always showed love 2 the vikings
RIP Æthelstan
Ragnar loved aethelstan like a brother in law
poor floki
**spit take**
#BjörnIronside #RagnarLothbrok
Hearing Ronaldo
Im here because of Vinland Saga anime
Everyone writes about bjorn's love for the athelstans (like an uncle) but as far as I can remember he tried floki that athelstan is still a christian. Didn't you watch full scene? -_- Bjorn is guilty... floki said that even bjorn had a problem with athelstan
Yes. In the beginning when he was a boy. How does that make Bjorn guilty? For punishing a man who committed murder out of nothing but jealousy?
I think Bjorn was wrong for this
how
@@othmanehaldaoui Well, in floki’s mind he was trying to protect Ragnar from Æthelstan whom he saw as a threat to Ragnar, his way of life and his Norse pagan faith. Obviously jealousy was a factor in the death of Æthelstan since everything floki did was for Ragnar and his goals yet they went under-appreciated in comparison to Æthelstans tales of England and Paris. Besides, Björn doesn’t like Christians yet he arrests his friend for killing a Christian? Idk it just seems odd that he took it upon himself to arrest him, since Ragnar didn’t even want him arrested in the first place
@@dev1lreapermc887 well, bjorn loves athestan, and he's not just a stranger Christian to him. And ragnar himself said to bjorn that he should think with his head and not his heart. And that's what he did, and that's what he did to hvitserk when he killed his mother. What i didn't like is that bjorn didn't even mention athestan in season 5 or 6 especially when he met alfred, also alfred should have told them that he's athestan son. And that way, bjorn would trust him more.
@@othmanehaldaoui yeah you’re right about Björn loving Æthelstan, and I agree that he should’ve been mentioned more in series 5 and 6. Let’s be honest the last two seasons were kind of a jumbled mess 😂
@@dev1lreapermc887 yeah, a total mess, for me, season 6 is the worst season. It was so miserable and depressing.
I still like Floki even though he killed Athelstan
what is with the spinn off? and why gives athelsans journal not in german langunage?
Bjorn had no right to give that order.
Russian Representative yes he did he’s the son of the king he can order an arrest he can’t order an execution
he had the prince syndrome long before Ragnar even became king lmao
@@krabbykat9918 no, I think that’s Ivar
I liked him much until he murdered Athelstan in cold blood, showing his truly evil side.
The only tik i hated floki
Floki is not bad
😐 *but how did they know it was floki who killed ATHELSTAN?*
this is why and how bjorn died......in the series
Why is everyone saying Bjorn did the right thing and this is his best scene ever? Bjorn has made 2 foolish mistakes which caused all of the drama in Season 4 and 5. He ordered the arrest of Floki without consulting Ragnar, and Ragnar himself said he didn't want to arrest Floki. HE was the one who left behind Rollo, and we all know Rollo is a betrayer. Ragnar knows him more than anyone else and he wouldn't leave behind Rollo cuz he is suspicious af. Stay WOKE people, Bjorn caused all the drama and the defeat of Paris which made Ragnar disappear. AND EVEN THEN Bjorn has the audacity to be mad at him after Ragnar returned in Season 4b. STAY WOKE.
ikr Bjorn is nothing but problematic. I never liked his character. be became just like his mother XD XD
Bjorn did those mistakes because he wanted to gain Ragnar's approval. About leaving Rollo and the Vikings behind in Frankia, it is his mistake, but imho more like Ragnar's one: because the Franks would have annihilated the Vikings who stayed one way or another; they may be weak, but not stupid, as Ragnar broke the deal with them and thus their annihilation was 100% justified, unlike the wessex one. Bjorn (and Ragnar) was very naive if he thought they would have found the camp safe and sound where they had left it, with Rollo's "betrayal" or not.
No. Ragnar abandoned his people. In season 4b it was clear that even without an official title, the people chose Bjorn to be their ruler after completely losing faith in Ragnar. And no, I won’t stay Woke. Feminism is a lie to cover up leftist agendas and superiority regimes.
I never liked Floki, he was nothing but a liability
Well your wrong, he is just a boat buildet with some jealousy issues
Also my roots are English, Scottish, and some German. All you haters on Christians tell me this why did the the Vikings and there religion( mythology) fade and the anglos didn’t and are very strong. This show showed every Christian to be weak. Have them fight some Templar knights!
Harrison Thompson not to sure but the Vikings were probably disappearing when the crusade started coming in to power in Germania and England
Trevor Ronaldo you are right.
Trevor Ronaldo your right. though I did read somewhere that when the order of theTemplar knights was banned by the pope that they paid the north men to hide them and hid out with the Vikings. I did read that they did find some proof of it. The mostly ran to Scotland but some Templar knights did hide with the Vikings and converted to there ways as well. To hide out. I did read that and I thought it was cool. Like Ragnar the Templar knights gave Vikings knowledge. So....
Harrison Thompson exactly
I don’t think the Norse religion faltered for any reasons militarily. It faded as it had to few people in comparison to the Christian empires
0:18 uuuuuuuuhhhhhhh wtf ? who is this ?
The Seer.
Κικιώνης Κωνσταντίνος You must not actually watch the show, he's the seer, he's been in the show since like the first episode.
Why does the seer look ummm, unique?
Haha who knows, people say he is blind
Actually he will be sacrificed by ivar
A mans dream. Your son talkin with people for ur name. One day..
Aguante Floki viejaaaa
Que decís, si Mato al más crack.
Vamos respondiendo por años?
Un desequilibrado, la serie solo valía la pena por la amistad entre Ragnar y Athesltan , Floki es un celoso cagado
I hated Athelstan...so many episodes about that guy and he was nothing special...
athelhater, ragnar loved athelstan, floki killed him cause he was jealous, if your friend killed your other friends you would be angy, simple as
am i the only one for hating bjorn here ? Floki was always there for him, and Athelstan just appeard, taking hthe light and ragnar's faith in his gods
I don’t hate Bjorn but as someone who both loves Floki and can see his side, I don’t agree with what Bjorn has done. Bjorn had the right to be angry with Floki, as Ragnor was, but it frustrates me that Floki is punished purely because of this scene. Ragnor admitted he was trying to keep Floki’s murder of Athelstan under the radar so as to keep the townspeople from turning against him, so it does annoy me that Bjorn could have saved Floki that suffering. HOWEVER. At the end of the day Floki did murder Bjorn’s friend, and someone who had raised him. Regardless of how close he was to Floki, I would be mad if I as Bjorn and would want justice of some sort. So I can’t hate him for that, but I am frustrated at his naivety/ignorance (I suppose) and temper here
@@BournetoRead thanks for this answer, it’s true, I guess it’s my obsession with Floki that made me feel this way but I understand your point 😁
@@Kuremu_cos haha no worries I’m right with you there! Floki is my absolute favourite!! :))
What is floki doing with his hand?
I don't know
He is just a crackhead
@@corriescott2124 no.
It’s like a thumbs up in Norse, since the Vikings were not Latin-based the thumbs up would not have entered their culture.

I hate to see these men go against their people
Floki did nothing wrong
murder is murder, what floki did is exactly what terrorists do, murder because of someones beliefs
@@jbkofi3046 how is it any different from when they went to England in the first place and murdered all those christians
@@tyriquekader5239 it is totally different, have you not even watched the show, ragnar loved athelstan he littereraly said i love you, floki killing him is a betrayal,did u not see how broken ragnar was when he died, someone killing a person you love is a betrayal, he wasnt just any other Christian, he helped them navigate england and told them about france, was loyal to ragnar even when captured, athelstan was a free man aswell welcomed by the KING so it is still murder and treason disobeying the kings orders, athelstan never betrayed ragnar but floki did
@@jbkofi3046 wow just becoz he was loved by ragnar, so should they arrest ragnar too for having so much intrigue in the christians and their god and all of that bullcrap, sounds kinda unfair too me, coz you know they were taught to hate a christian god and there ragnar was getting cosy with one, floki did what was supposed to be done back then
@@tyriquekader5239 they were not brought up or taught to hate Christians, they only just found out Christians existed not long ago so how were they taught to hate them, they were brought up to worship odin and only odin, and any other religion is false just like Christians worship christ and think pagans are false "y didnt they arrest raganar" 😂 u have no clue, you seem to forget that ragnar is king and not just any other viking so what he says goes ,end of ,and if you kill the kings friend what do expect, a pat on the back, athelstan wasnt tryna convert him he was showing him his ways because the vikings themselves say knowledge is power, you say he did what they are ment to do then why is it only floki that wanted to kill him, no one else did , it was only floki that thought he should die surelybif they all wanted to kill him they all would have hunted him down, the rest where only angry because he cast the bracelet away, floki did not kill athelstan cause of his religion, he used it as an excuse, it was clearly out of jealously that ragnar was close with athelstan, another reason why your logic makes no sense is because floki came across muslims and didnt kill a single one, arent they a different religion to flokis and therefore by you logic he should have killed them but he didnt,
"WhY dIdNt ThEy ArReSt RaGnAr"😂🤣🤣 does a viking kings sovereignty mean nothing to you, again why do you think no one else wanted to or went to kill athelstan apart from floki (who is acc insane) cause they would defy the king and face his wrath, doesnt matter if it was a Christian or buhdest
I still hate Björn for this :(
to me floki dont do wrong to Killing muerder athelstan
He killed one of his king's most trusted advisors and friends in a fit of jealousy. Of course he did something wrong.
Athelstan wasnt an Advisor he was a priest
it is obvious that floki was jealous of Athelstan he was like a enemy to the culture of vikings(Athelstan is was were a christian)a monk priest slave
Athelstan never respected the vikings culture
hi hello nice to met u
i give floki props for killing the Christian

I liked young Ubbe's spirit. too bad he turned a pacifist baby as an adult
Pacifist? Are we watching the same show? I only see a smart man using his brain, navigating the world he sees how he can. He is by no means a pacifist. That’s why I like Ubbe, he’s not into senseless and mindless violence. He’ll fight and kill, but only when it serves a purpose.
OK OK... Vikings was a good series indeed, but it is enough of it. Now I want to watch a series about samurais, native American Indians, or Zulu warriors. I'm tired of the Caucasian cultures, really, that's enough.
Lmao
Because white culture is the best
@@Ben-jp2xl That's Norse culture, not all the white culture 🙄
Watch the Hernan Cortes serie, there's a lot of contact with mesoamerican culture.
