Lagertha is undoubtedly the most popular character in "Vikings". The former shield maiden and ex-wife of Ragnar Lothbrok has an interesting storyline that everyone, especially women, can easily relate to.

"I kept saying to Katheryn, 'I'm gonna make it harder and harder for you down the line,'" Hirst told Entertainment Weekly.

Lagertha Becomes Queen Of Norway, Takes Over As 'Vikings' Season 5 Lead Character After Ragnar Lothbrok's Death?
Nobody wants to see Ragnar Lothbrok dead, certainly not Lagertha or fans of the History show. However, some believe that Ragnar will meet his end before the conclusion of Season 4. There are speculations that Ragnar's son Ivar the Boneless is set to become the new lead character in "Vikings" Season 5. But is it possible that Lagertha is being set up to be the main Viking in the next season?
There is a huge possibility that "Vikings" Season 5 will focus on the historical account of Ivar the Boneless' attack on England with the Great Heathen Army. The series could follow how Ivar planned the whole thing after Ragnar Lothbrok's death, but could also highlight Lagertha's rise to power in Norway. GamenGuide has previously reported on how the Earl Ingstad could defeat Aslaug in the fourth season. Lagertha could then take over and become Queen of Norway when Season 5 premieres.
Do you think Lagertha should become the new lead character when Ragnar Lothbrok dies in "Vikings" Season 5? Should the next season focus on Ivar the Boneless' historical attack on England? Let us know in the comments.
