After a tumultuous power struggle last season that culminated in Ragnar (Travis Fimmel) becoming King, he’s now more determined than ever to fulfill his dream of providing for his people. His dream is supported by Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick), and King Ecbert (Linus Roache), who delivers on his promise of providing farming lands for the Vikings, but dark clouds loom in the Wessex and Scandinavian skies. Will the religious differences between their cultures get in the way of Ragnar and Ecbert’s plans? Or will the motivations and agendas of others complicate matters between these two rulers?
