"Vikings" fans were rocked to the core when Floki decided to make a sacrifice and kill Athelstan in Season 3 (his death was set against the best song ever featured in the show). However, the one person who was most affected by the monk's death was Ragnar Lothbrok. His character may no longer be alive, but George Blagden still have a few appearance in the series as visions of Ragnar's most trusted friend. But will Athelstan appear to Ragnar before he dies in "Vikings" Season 4 Episode 11?
Are There More Athelstan Appearances In 'Vikings' Season 4 Episode 11? Will He Lead Ragnar Lothbrok To His Death?
Athelstan may have died in the "Vikings" Season 3 episode "Born Again", but the monk continues to visit Ragnar Lothbrok in visions. His most recent appearance was in simultaneous visions in the Season 4 episode "What Might Have Been", where he appeared to both Ragnar and King Ecbert. So is it possible that Athelstan will be back in the second half of the fourth season? Will the monk lead Ragnar to his death in "Vikings" Season 4 Episode 11?
According to legend, Ragnar Lothbrok was captured by King Aelle of Northumbria and sentenced to die in a pit of snakes. While the Norse stories state that Ragnar was initially kept safe by a shirt woven by his wife Aslaug, "Vikings" may have a different approach to his brief salvation. It is possible that Ragnar will see Athelstan (as he usually does in difficult times) and make peace with his fate. Unfortunately, this could also mean that Ragnar will finally be killed after "Vikings" Season 4 Episode 11.
Will Athelstan Also Appear To Other Characters In 'Vikings' Season 4 Episode 11?
The monk has already appeared to King Ecbert, so there is a huge possibility that Athelstan could return in a vision for the King of Wessex. He might also be seen by his murderer Floki, who is slowly turning into a seer. Find out if Athelstan will guide Ragnar Lothbrok to his death in "Vikings" Season 4 Episode 11. The premiere episode is titled "The Outsider", which will air on History on November 30.
