Season 6 has commenced, I had to catch up on S5 before streaming it. I left off at the Brothers Battle, haven't picked it up again until now.
Josh Donaldson acquitted himself well with his speech before The Great Heathen Army departs for England. He wanted to take part in a battle scene but the Jays wouldn't allow it.
According to the historical record neither Ivar the Boneless nor Bjorn Ironside were at the Battle of Edington where the raiders met their match in Alfred the Great. His portrayal in the show is inaccurate, he was not a fey youth. He was a rough and grim King of Wessex who resembled Union General William Sherman. Even without Travis Fimmel (Ragnar Lothbrook) it's as riveting as ever.
Bjorn Ironside chose to become the first Viking to sail into the Mediterranean, he sacked Pisa - mistaking it for Rome. When he returned to Scandinavia he became Sweden's first King. Ivar the Boneless had a major impact on British and Irish history. As Seth Meyer says, "it's time for a closer look".
