According to a bit of research I've done ( I'll do more to make sure of this) apparently the Vikings were actually very accepting of the idea of another God since they believed in many gods it didn't sound crazy to have this Christian God pop up now I don't know how they felt though people switching to Christianity but it seemed like they were okay with it to an extent. And his line about the gods being friends isn't too far fetched either.

I never even watched the entire show but one of the most heartbreaking lines in all of TV shows is when Ragnar is carrying his body to bury him n he’s like “we will never see each other again” referring to the fact that they’re beliefs will keep them separate in eternity. That was rough

The fact that he even carries his cross after this and even asked to be baptised so that they could be together after death as he was closest to Ragnar seeing as by that point folki betrayed him, his brother betrayed him, his wife had left him, he never loved his new wife and his sons were closer to their mothers

How he protects him hits me in the heart 😢❤

At some point, Ragnar had the most progressive spirit among all Vikings. Him and Æthelsthan being friends underlines the thought of Vikings and Saxons living peacefully together.🥰

This, by far, is the most wholesome relationship between friends of different faith.

Ragnar really loved him like brother 😢

Ragnar understood that knowledge and understanding was the greatest treasure a man could find. "I did not become earl because I aspired to be one. It came about because of other peoples’ actions. And I did not become king out of ambition. But once again I had no choice, as a result of other people’s actions"

They did an amazing job casting Ragnar, Bjorn and Ubbe. I say that because you can see so much of Ragnar in Bjorn and Ubbe throughout the show. Bjorn in his posture and movements, but Ubbe in his eyes and expressions.

When you find a brother from another mother this is the bond you have with that person!

@@scottritchey573 I think Ragnar liked to be passive-aggressive. He originally mocked the Christian Gods, kidnapped Athelstan and made him a slave to his family. Floki was a good and loyal friend but Ragnar taunted him with his friendship with Athelstan. Just like when he slept with Aslaug while married to Lagertha. Once he found out she was pregnant and he could have another son he moved her into Kattegat and expected Lagertha to accept that he would have another wife never considering her feelings. He treated Rollo poorly, too, at times. Ragnar didn't treat those he 'loved' very well. When Ivar was a tiny baby he took him out in the forest and left him to die because he didn't want people thinking he could produce a son who wasn't healthy and strong. Poor Ivar could have been eaten by a wild animal. Thank goodness Aslaug saved him.

This is such a beautiful and wholesome interaction. Loved when Ragnar said i wish our Gods can become friends, meaning like them 😊❤

Only Athelstan knew the true Ragnar. This is why he loved him so much. Ragnar was able to be himself around him. Everyone else just saw what they wanted in Ragnar. ❤ Their friendship remains unmatched in all tv shows.

This is what true brotherly love looks like. Ragnar had a purpose for walking with Athelstan sure, but he would have gladly done so anyway. Echbert desired this same bond with Ragnar in his heart I think, but no one was so loved by Ragnar as this man ever again.

they wernt just friends, they were brothers. Both of them from different faiths and beliefs didnt judge each other. they were more curious about each others ways. This is true friendship right here. Athelstan didnt judge Ragnar for his beliefs. but his viking brothers and sisters would have. that is why Ragnars best friend is Athelstan. because he trusted him. he could tell him anything and be honest. i love this friendship so much. its always stuck with me even years after watching the series

everyone has that 1 homie you only meet once i a lifetime and form a lifelong bond with both in life and death

That's why I don't understand how this show hasn't won any awards for this series. From season 1 to the end of the series this show never had any bad scenes or a bad season in my opinion. Travis really killed the role of ragnar lothbrok, but for all of ragnar's 5 sons the actors straight up killed their roles for protraying all of his little details to all of his mannerisms spread out into 5 different individual.

Such an awesome friendship those two had, was really sad to see the way it broke Ragnar afterwards

It's kind of like this with my cousin. He's Christian and I don't really believe in anything so we have long interesting debates and discussions about our beliefs, our points, our hopes, and our arguments. It's so fucking refreshing to have a genuine, calm, productive, RESPECTFUL discussion with someone about something you don't agree upon. You don't have to agree to converse, you just have to RESPECT!

Ragnar really cares about his friend

This actor is such a great act

The greatest love story of Vikings. The ONLY PERSON that Ragnar never betrayed. The only time he remotely got close was Uppsala. Even then you had to sacrifice what was most important to you.. and he was beyond thrilled that he wasn't chosen.

Love Ragnar and his son too ! Vikings is very great série. Probably the best in this kind of stuffs about Vikings,Barbarians etc etc ....👍👍👍👍
