With the "Vikings" Season 4 Episode 11 release date fast approaching, fans are excited speculating on what plots twists the historical drama could be bringing to the table on the second half of the fourth season. However, those who know their Vikings history well enough may have an inkling as to what could happen next.
Ragnar's Death To Happen In Second Half Of 'Vikings' Season 4?
One of the most common "Vikings" Season 4 spoilers deal with the death of Ragnar Lothbrok. Apparently, it is going to happen this season with a recently revealed trailer hinting as much.
What is confusing though is that the "Vikings" Season 4 B trailer seem to suggest that Ragnar would be taking away his own life. The trailer shows Ragnar travelling alone and stopping beneath a majestic tree. After tying a rope to one of its branches, what appears to be Ragnar's boots (because no one else is around) is seen kicking the horse at its sides to nudge the animal forward. It did, leaving the rider, which could be Ragnar, dangling from the tree, his feet twitching in what could be his dying moments.
In history though, Ragnar did not take his own life but was killed by King Aelle by throwing him into a pit of deadly vipers, reports Movie Pilot. Will the second half of "Vikings" Season 4 deviate from historical accounts on the specifics of the Viking legend's death?
Bjorn Ironside To Succeed His Ragnar?
In history, Ragnar will be succeeded by his son Bjorn. Ragnar's son is known for his exploits around the Mediterranean area, eventually going up against Italy and Greece and bringing home riches and tales of his exploits. Apparently, when "Vikings" Season 4 episode 11 release date arrives next week, the show's plot could follow the historical one as far as Bjorn's story is concerned.
"Vikings" Season 4 trailers show Bjorn urging his father on allowing him to raid the Mediterranean area. If showrunners plan to adapt the historical accounts in telling Bjorn's story, it is highly likely that "Vikings Season 4 will eventually see Bjorn's rise to claim the throne after his father's demise.
"Viking" Season 4 episode 11 release date is slated this coming November 30, 2016. Follow Gamenguide and be informed on the latest news updates on History Channel's hit series.
