If the French were watching he had to make it 100% believable. Having those closest show real grief made it so. I think Baptism was all part of plan with a hope that maybe God might let him visit Athelstan in afterlife - cover your bets lol. He had to keep it absolute secret until he had the princess in the bridge to make sure they could open gate & stop any resistance to getting in. Getting some truthful confessions from family was just a bonus Ragnar would value lol.
I really want to see them freak out when they see Clive Stranden (Rollo) in the Doctor Who Season 4 Episodes Sontaren Strategem & The Poison Sky as Private Harris or if they would even recognise him without a beard. :)
Nah, Aaron, Rollo will be the first Duke of Normandy and his great-grandson will invade England and unite it under the rule of one monarch.
England had already been united for 150 years when William invaded. And William was Rollos great, great, great Grandson.
The whole pretending to die and being buried in Pars, was a real historical/legendary event carried out by Bjorn Ironside. Also a lot of this show is not just "stories" they are real historical events.
Yeah. They base it on history then write a story around it. E.g. Rollo and Ragnar lived hundreds of years apart.
I think Ragnar is more aware of his own legend than the show ever implies. I think he wanted to show that even frail and at deaths door he still has a trick up his sleeve. Shock everyone back into that state of awe of "the legend of Ragnar". I also wouldn't discount that Ragnar may have wanted to hear what people would say at the side of his coffin. There's no motivation to lie to a corpse.
I'm with you shane, I got your speech on trust. You aren't crazy brother
Rollo is very important historally.
I see it the way that Ragnar wanted to pick a single person to coordinate the attack and chose the person, who was the most loyal to him. Thus it's not a question of how much you trust everyone, but who would be the most trustworthy person. I think that he could have told the others without consequences to the plans, but I assume that he wanted everyone to be truthful for once (through their confessions) and maybe it was also a plan to show who is the one that makes the plans.
Hai Mark. Lol. I had a 3 second delay with that one. I love the introduction of the Franks. They’re all intriguing.
