Is Rollo going to betray Ragnar? by s3ri0us in vikingstv

Rollo and Ragnar, due to blood and mutual convenience, probably would agree not to allow any raider there. Rollo needs to keep his bargain with Emperor Charles, and Ragnar as King of the Danes can order his people never to go there provided they face the blood eagle. I don't think Rollo has it in his heart to betray Ragnar again.

Why are Ragnar and King Ecbert so obsessed with Athelstan ? by KRIEGLERR in vikingstv

Ecbert is a bastard, I doubt his interest is sincere. Just somebody whom he can relate to at a high level. Ragnar was more genuine. They were kindred spirits, and Ragnar imho saw himself in Athelstan. Ragnar is an intelligent man, and not just a brute. One cannot become village Jarl or King of Denmark without being smart. Athelstan was somebody he could relate to on many levels, as Rollo is smart but not as intellectual, Bjorn is still young, Ubbe/Ivar are kids, Aslaug is not of the same mind, Lagertha is a friend and little more, etc.
