Storyline

Edit

With his new boat completed, Ragnar recruits a crew and prepares for departure in a few weeks. His wife Lagertha wants to take part in the great adventure but Ragnar says one of them must stay behind to care for the children. She's definitely not pleased. Earl Haraldson has his spies and is soon aware of Ragnar's plans but is convinced there are no lands to the west and they will never be seen again. After several days at sea Ragnar and his men attack Lindisfarne Monastery on Lindisfarne Island just off the coast in Northumbria, England. Many of the monks are killed and the others enslaved. —garykmcd

Trivia
The attack on Lindisfarne monastery is by most historians considered to be the start of the Viking Age.

Goofs
Ragnar tells the assembled group of men that he wants to go to 'England.' England (as the name of the country) wasn't actually used until 927 when Athelstan conquered the Vikings of Northumbria.

Continuous strong

The second chapter of Vikings is even stronger than the first and much better! The only thing with this show are the accents, I don't know if it's just me or not but sometimes I don't buy the performance with the accent. It's not that I say the performance is bad, most of them act great but sometimes the accent is weird. Anyway, the show is still brilliantly directed and with a continuous synopsis and even better.
