Heil og sæl warriors! ⚔️ This scene shows the river battle for Paris.
These best moments capture the essence of the series, filled with battles, betrayals, and explorations that make Vikings a captivating watch.
----------
The Vikings TV series is a historical drama that originally aired from 2013 to 2020, focusing on the legendary Norse hero Ragnar Lothbrok and his descendants. The show blends historical events with Norse myths and legends to tell the story of Viking raiders and explorers during the Early Middle Ages. Ragnar starts as a farmer with a thirst for knowledge and exploration, eventually rising to become a legendary warrior and king. Alongside him are compelling characters like his wife Lagertha, his best friend Floki, and his various sons, each with their own ambitions and conflicts.
The series explores Viking culture, their clashes with other kingdoms, and their impact on history. It delves into themes of power, family, loyalty, and the consequences of war. Though it takes liberties with historical accuracy for the sake of storytelling, Vikings provides an immersive look into a world of longships, shield walls, and the clash of civilizations. It's a sweeping tale of exploration, political intrigue, and personal growth, set against the brutal yet captivating backdrop of the Viking Age.

  • What annoyed me about this scene and in general the Rollo arc is that it shows Rollo as the only Viking to accept christianity and settle there and it doesn't show all the other Vikings that chose him as their ruler and decided to settle in Normandy. Those other Vikings were crucial to stopping further Viking raids into France, and they should have been shown in this scene fighting against the Norse.

    • Agreed. Especially as he is shown killing fellow Vikings who stayed in Francia, which made no sense - the threat of the Vikings close to Paris was Rollos bargaining chip, if he kills all followers off, he would lose all leverage against the Frankish nobles. Liked the battle and the series nonetheless.

    • While I do agree with you and think that a battle between the Normen of Rollo who are going to fight against their ex kin in order to protect their new land against the northmen of Ragnar would have been beyond epic, i believe Rollo had no other choice on that matter. As he was making such a final step like estabilishing himself in a new land and becoming a Duke, he couldn't afford an army divided, because he'd probably have to face a rebellion and a cospiracy against his life and his new family. Moreover, the vikings left behind with him had made the huge mistake of sending their emissary to the Frank palace, where Rollo was constantly under observation (since at the start, the emperor and the franks were very far from trusting Rollo for what his brother had done to them, even though Charles had given Rollo his daughter to marry): did they really think that the Franks would have tolerated a man coming to their house and tell them they didn't accept their conditions to stay permanently and legally *in their own land* after what their king had done to Paris? Did they really think they'd not face repercussions? They signed their death warrant by sending Eirik, and worse, of their families as well. Rollo knew all of this, and also mad for the insubordination, acted by consequences.

    • @@cristinademartini6653 In reality, also the Francian kings would be interested in the additional manpower of the Viking settlers for their military Defense, which would be lost by killing them all off. And Rollo (in the series) might have punished traitors more selectively, coercing the others to abandon their mutiny. But in the end, „Vikings“ wanted to set up Rollo as the antagonist to Ragnar, and the killing of the mutineers made it clear that he joined the enemy camp. So, for storytelling purposes, it makes sense.

  • Historically the battle was weird. 30k vikings against Paris 200 men garrison. A 150 to 1 ratio. The vikings got there and had no siege weapons that worked properly and the ones that worked were useless against the walls. They literally had no chance despite outnumbering the Parisian army by so much. They never even left the fortress to fight and the siege lasted for several months. This was the second attack on Paris. The first one had been successful.

  • Rollo was not rewarded or recognized by Ragnar who often took his loyalty for granted. Ragnar believed that his only brother in life would follow him. However he did not realize that Rollo was also very human and had harbored jealousy towards his elder brother's dominance in his life. The fact that Bjorn was his son meant that Rollo also desired over Ragnar's first wife. I think this the indicative reason for the turning which Ragnar never paid attention. Ragnar by any sense was a wise man, a man that was fixated on his greatness and legacy. He spent little time thinking about politics, even internal political affairs. So what if he had brought the great empire of the Eastern Franks to their knees with the first sack of Paris. So what if he had ravaged Northumbria and Mercia, pillaging at will? His downfall would be the betrayal of his own brother Rollo at the second siege of Paris. Instead of furthering Viking expansion into Francia, he gave the best gift he could to Francia by giving away Rollo who would defend the northern province of Normandy from further Viking incursions. The only takeaway for Ragnar isn't the wealth or the fame, but rather that his people, the Vikings would populate Normandy and assimilate into their culture and language and religion. They would also do so in Anglo Saxon England ultimately and that is his lasting legacy, the marriage of his ethnic people with the rest of the world.

  • One of my favorite Bruce Lee quotes is: The first time a person experiences something it's essentially invisible. Think Anthony Pettis' Showtime Kick of Bendo over 10 years ago...people have been using the cage as a catapult ever since and fighters are more aware of that particular danger...Benson, he had no idea what was coming... Not being KO'd by that kick was a W in an of itself. --- Now I'm thinking about Robert Redford in The Last Castle and how he got Tony Soprano ( RIP ) to show his hand before it was absolutely necessary. After you've seen something no matter how devastating it may be, you can then create a formidable gameplan if the same set of circumstances arises in the future, as this clip clearly demonstrates.

Plus that it would've been nicer if the towers had more cover and arrow slits to shoot through especially when the vikings had bows of their own. And that I feel they should've had another set of towers further down incase the vikings had did made it through somehow. Along side reserve troops in the woods while the vikings were all stuck in the waters more crossbows would've rain at them and troops ready to prevent them from landing but seeing that Lagatha had flanked around to try sneaking. Yeah I kinda doubt they would've done so I retract my opinion on having troops waiting in the woods to ambush the vikings. I think what would've favored Frankia is building a bridge between the two forts/towers and such. A blockade but ships would have to come through an metal gate which probably would've taken time yes.

    • To stop Vikings sailing up the river the French eventually built stone bridges. These could easily be blocked or drop stones upon unfriendly ships. For this movie battle the French could’ve done more. More archers and catapults, more stakes in the bank. Raise the chain after several ships have passed, cutting the fleet into 2 groups, ideally isolating the leaders. But if their position had appeared too strong, Ragnar would’ve looked for another way. The trick of defensive engineering is feigning weak spots to lure an enemy into kill zones. Ivar does this at York, supposedly forgetting to defend a section of wall then ambushing the saxons that climbed in.

    • What plot armor are you talking about? What did you favor the French in this case? I'm watching the series again and I think this battle is ridiculous. The only thing the Vikings had to do was to dock the ships on the left bank and try to destroy the tower and the chain. They were much superior in number.

That would be hard when 10 boats back your only command is to row forward, you try to Dock you will get one or two boats and cause chaos with the rest. The tactics were sound and that's why river forts were made like this as they were a perfect counter.

    • @@kdeathwing Chains were used since the times of ancient Greeks. Their purpose is to block vessels, not to flip them over. Viking drakkars had shallow, keels and almost flat bottoms. Hence low center of gavity and low center of bouyancy; a condition which made them extremely stable. Even at full speed (unlikely while approaching ashore) they would rather have "jumped" over the chain than roll over. Simple physics.
