I have truly enjoyed the two past seasons of
Vikings on the History Channel. It is fictionalized history, that follows the saga of a Viking named Ragnar Lodbrok (the last name is pronounced Loath-brook). He, and his sons, are well known in history for their invasions and fighting in England. This story also follows Ragnar's brother, Rollo. Rollo is the person who sacks Paris, then settles down in France, having been given lands by the King to stop raiding in his area. Rollo's lands become known as Normandy, home of the North (Norse) men, which over time, becomes corrupted to the word Norman; and William the Conqueror is his direct descendant. The attacks on Paris are a part of this year's series. I am looking forward to it.
And the third season of
Vikings will start being broadcast on Thursday, 19 February! Hooray!
