How Ragnar Became King In Vikings
Vikings saw the great Ragnar Lothbrok go from a farmer to a legendary warrior, and at one point, he was also the king of Kattegat – and to get to that, he had to go through some battles and kill some enemies. Historical dramas have gained a lot of attention in recent years, and one of the most recent and successful TV series from this branch is Vikings, created by Michael Hirst. Over the course of six seasons, Vikings covered the early years of the Viking Age and saw its main characters go through a number of betrayals and battles, but they also enjoyed a lot of success, though this was often achieved through violent means.
Vikings initially followed legendary Norse figure Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) and his travels and raids alongside his Viking brothers, from the beginning of the Viking Age (marked by the Lindisfarne raid, shown in season 1) onward.

Still, Ragnar’s legacy continued to be felt until the series’ final episode, and many of his accomplishments continued to be talked about in the series and among viewers.
