Tensions mount between the sons of Ragnar Lothbrok as the Vikings continue to threaten the very heart of England. As the Great Army moves to take York, with King Aethelwulf and his family still in hiding, Heahmund, the warrior bishop, must rally the Saxons to defend the Realm. (History Channel)
Reviews (2)
Another very slow start, crowned by a mediocre battle for York, which at times seemed almost sloppy. It starts with cardboard sets and ends with bland combat.

The episode was packed with funerals (two) and farewells (four). But the real highlight was the demonic and cunning Ivar, who I find relatable because I could match his speed. Harald’s involvement hints at Lagertha getting back into the action. I was satisfied with the action scenes, especially in York, but I really can't warm up to Bishop Heahmund. I don't think I'll ever get used to his character.
