While I have been a fan of the show since episode 1 it needs to be said that there are many flaws, and as such there are flaws in this video. First, there is ONE account that suggests that the Norse wore eyeliner, the man responsible for the account was a Spanish Muslim names Al-Tartushi who visited the Danish city of Hedeby some time in the 10th century. Eyeliner MAY have been a custom there, but that does not mean Norwegians would have done the same thing or that they would have gobbed it all over half of their faces. Tattoos are another area where we have no physical evidence, and not even a word in their language that we can link to the word tattoo. The idea of Vikings having tattoos comes from the written account of Ibn Fadlan another 10th century traveled, who traveled from Baghdad up to the Rus kingdom somewhere around Kiev. While in Kiev he reportedly witnessed a chieftain’s funeral where he saw men “painted” (according to the translations I’ve read) with images of trees. These marks reportedly went “from fingernails to neck” meaning the face tattoos we see in the show are almost certainly not representative the custom. The Rus (originally Swedish) were also very much integrated into the local population by this point, so they may well have been practicing a custom borrowed from the Slavic people of the area. The costumes are nowhere near accurate, far too much leather and raw pelts draped over the shoulders, also bright colours were a way to show off ones wealth. Like stated the show is not meant to be historical, and it shows.

I just finished this show 😅 glad to see its treading

Once Ragnar was dead all of the betrayal really pissed me off and I kind wanted them all dead. Struggling to finish now.

So structure of medieval societies, environment and their surroundings are pretty historically accurate. A lot of events also happened and a lot of characters were based on real characters. Now main problem from the historical perspective in this show is its pacing: In 6 seasons it covers more than 200 years history of the Viking Age and it the show it takes maybe 20-30 years. So that is the the biggest pitfall from this perspective, but otherwise this show is very historically authentic.

I would say it peaks interest into history though. I didn't know too much about vikings or the period until watching the show, and then I was intrigued enough to research more things. For that reason I see why it was placed on the channel.

I believe that Kattegat in the series, is actually supposed to be the real Hedeby. Hedeby is believed to be exactly what Kattegat was in the series - except it was (still is) a city in Denmark. It's a shame everything "Danish" became Norwegian on the screen, but I really can't blame them. There's no comparing between the flat fields in Denmark and the mountains and fjords of Norway 👍
