  1. They said a major character will die in Vikings S3 so I guess this means it will be Athelstan :(
    Still I can't wait for this.

  3. Finally! I'm not really a big fan of Athelstan on Vikings, but I kind of like the actor so I'm OK with the casting.
    Louis had a gay brother? This is new to me... I'll have to look I to it, but I'm excited to see he is portrayed.

  5. I really hope that the Actor can balance both...After all, filming a ten episode show like Vikings is hardly an all year affair, and Versaille doesn't sound like it is supposed a show with a lot of episodes per season either. Vikings would loose way too much with Athelstan.
