Vikings: Valhalla (Season 2): Expectations
In this second season, there will be many significant events going to happen in the historical period.
Leif’s unlucky Red
The journey of Greenlander to the east has been very painful and sorrowing for Leif and his sister, Freydis. The comrades set out to sail with them for Denmark to become dead. The biggest tragedy happens with Leif that is the death of his lover, Lif, and fellow warrior who also died at the time of the invasion of Kattegat.
Lif was the only person who bring Leif simple and resist him from becoming like his popular berserker father, Erik the Red. They death of her has seen Leif snap as a result of the explorer donning the dual axes pair, without any armor, and single-handedly taking down a whole group of Vikings warriors without breaking any sweat. The cry of his was is like similar to his father, Leif activates his blood-thirsty nature.
We all know fate is always cruel and if he continues to behave like this then he may find himself to be banished from the world of Vikings, forcing the explorer for sailing West and set up Vinland which is the first European settlement in the Americas.
Harold Norway’s Future King
It will be one biggest surprises and liberties taken in this history such as the early appearance of Harald Sigurdson popularly famous as Harold Hardrada. Harold comes into the Viking world that is legendary and there is no one to take their place at the time of the events Vikings as the future Norway King was just a baby, born to Asta and Sigurd in Ringerike.
The Herald reveals inn Valhalla as open support of King Cnut nor but the fate of his half-brother Olaf who is unknown now, it also mentions feeling Kattegat along with Freydis, Harald’s journey to becoming a in still remain unsuccessful.
Leo Sutter told them:
“Harald’s been screwed over. Massively screwed over and what’s more, it’s not just him who’s been screwed over but it’s his loved ones who’ve been screwed over. So that relationship is, as you say, very damaged. And it’s going to take a lot for it to heal. But yeah, there’s certainly been some serious wrongs that have befallen him. So let’s see in Season 2 what happens with that.”
The Northern Sea Empire and King Cnut
It has been fixed by his ambitious wide Emma of Normandy and also his father Sweyn Forkbeard, King Cnut’s view as a Great Northern Empire is firmly within reach.
Queen Emma’s consideration against Queen Aelfgifu provided Sweyn a lot of time to figure out the fleet of his done and set for the sail to Kattegat. England is now under Cnut’s rule.
Cnut is already battling a war in Denmark but his feel lacked for that the thanks go to Aelfgifu. Sweyn now just aiding the entire defense of Kattegat. It is not very long before the Dances fell under the rule of the Norse king.
After Cnut become the king of Denmark, his dream to build a North Sea empire become a reality
Freydis as the last or not
It seems that with the destruction of Upsala and the rising of Christianity in the Viking World, the worship of the old gods also become very weak. As Freydis and Greenlanders are the two worshipers who come from the old ways, Leif also shows the eagerness in Christianity that means all of the strange ways of surviving death.
The fact is still not clear what is indicating, “the Last”, it may be suggested that Freydis will be the last person able to spread the worship of the Old ways.
Vikings: Valhalla (Season 2): Episode Count
In total, the series contains 24 episodes of Vikings: Valhalla having three seasons.
On looking ahead to the third season one of the biggest news we have so far is we also can expect to watch George Maniaks appearing for the season.
