"The Bear will be crowned by a Princess. And that does not bode well for you King Ragnar". -- The Seer .. This was a CRUSHING defeat because it was a straight up street fight on the water. There was no tricks or clever traps, this was a pure gut fight and the French simply wanted it more than the Vikings. It is the worst kind of loss.

Brilliant words, mate!

I can't tell you how much I have been waiting for this, and 2 parts......You guys are spoiling us!!!

I literally almost got a migraine when siggy died and Aslaug fucking LAUGHED with Ivar, I could not hate aslaug more, I was so frustrated that they just skipped over that in the time jump and never addressed it or Bjorns reaction

“You look like a bi***” haha haha I love it 😂

Easily one of the best episodes in the show. Loved everything about it!

Rollo became the biggest winner and hero in this episode. He secured more than all of the others combined...and even Floki said as much later on.

It sucks to see Ragnar lose but not surprising. He wasn't at his best physically or mentally because of his drug use and he went up against an army that's advanced in weaponry. Not to mention that his plan was to just put himself in a position to kill Rollo rather than using a better tactic to win the battle.

I agree Ragnar was not well physically or mentally, but I have to disagree when it comes to “advanced weaponry” in the other battles 100% they were advanced, but not here. Brute force vs brute force, the Vikings should have easily won against inexperienced Frank soldiers. I doubt you could list a single reason they should have won that, and Rollo’s speech doesn’t count as advanced weaponry, and is just Hollywood, it’s not enough to overcome a heard of Vikings with simple words.

The glaring issue that I have with Ragnar losing this battle is that Rollo did not employ any sort of tactic to overcome the fact that his inexperienced soldiers were going to clash with much more experienced, battle-hardened warriors that are the Vikings. Rollo just tackled the situation straightforward with no strategy, unlike the first battle which did justify the Franks victory despite the disparity in experience between the two armies. Not to mention that the situation was flipped, Rollo was trying to lay siege to THEIR boats and that alone gave the Vikings a huge advantage. Personally, I felt like this battle was poorly designed because in spite of the overwhelming advantage the Norsemen had, it was brushed aside in order to cement Rollo's ascension in status in contrast to Ragnar's fall from grace.

This time, the christian faith prevailed. On another matter, the Franks had everything to lose in this battle: their land, their city and above all, their beloved ones. And by the willing to protect them (as Rollo had reminded them by his speech), they prevailed against the foes.

This type of naval warfare was prevalent up until the 1500's when, according to what I've read, my country of Sweden became the first country to sink another ship in naval warfare using cannons alone. Gone were the days of boarding and fighting man-to-man, welcome the days of trying to out-range your enemy whilst still doing significant damage to him. From broadside cannon ships to modern day hangar-ships.

@georgeprchal3924

Boarding was common untill the 19th century, until then cannon were incapable of shooting below the waterline. Torpedoes and high explosive shells changed that.

Rollo Duke of Normandy strikes again. Unlike the others, his descends will actually conquer England (as well as Ireland, Sicily, parts of Italy, North Africa, and Byzantium).

This definitely one of the best episode in the season

"My dude ragnar" ,remembed me JON SNOWWWW...

This has to be one of my favorite Vikings fights so far! It's devastating but so powerful. It has the feel of the battle of blackwater from Game of Thrones where you like and dislike people from both sides and can't really pick one side to wholeheartedly root for. This is set up as Rollo's destiny, the Seer tells him about his destiny and laughs about it telling Rollo it was planned by the gods, which makes it hard to hate Rollo for following what the gods set him to do. (As a side note Rollo stabbing the French soldier that wanted to retreat reminded me of the pilot episode where Ragnar kills the Viking that panics on the first trip to England.) Plus Ragnar's actions lately have made him less likable, still a wonderful and compelling character, but harder to root for all the same. It leaves the battle better balanced and kept me on the edge of my seat warring with myself over what outcome I wanted. This does feel like an end to the legendary Ragnar. I don't know what they plan to do after this but it seems nearly impossible for him to regain what he had and what he was. We watched Ragnar's seemingly unstoppable rise and now we're witnessing his fall. His ambitions got the better of his senses. The Seer told him going back to Paris would not bode well for him and he did it anyway. He thought he was infallible. Paris was said to be impregnable and he could have taken the first sacking of Paris as his victory and moved on but he refused and now he's been defeated twice. It's fascinating.

Love this episode insane!

the conversation of Ragnar´s boys showed how Ragnar was seen by the people..he is highly admired even he is not there anymore..that´s why Auslaug was so pleased to hear of his betrayal in case of the settlement..I was surprised that she didn´t say "I told you all the time he is an asshole" although her look said it anyway.. And now when Ragnar came back everybody in the now grown city of Kattegat knew about the outcome of the settlement = Hard times for Ragnar.

And later in history, Rollo would form the Norman people. His decendent, William the Bastard, would eventually lay his claim for England in 1066 defeating Harold Godwinson of the Anglo Saxon people and Harold Hardrada, King of Norway. Becoming king of England, he would be known as William the Conquerer. So Rollo's blood still rules England to this day. This is of course actual history. Rollo was not Ragnars brother IRL. Just some cool history

The reason they made Ragnar a junkie this season is they needed to somehow make him weak so Rollo could have a chance against him, Ragnar at full health is probably the best fighter in the series. Also the Seer moment is kinda supposed to show that he knows they're gonna lose. Just like Ragnar had the feeling when he couldn't bring himself to say the gods are on their side.
