With the help of his eccentric shipbuilder friend Floki, Ragnar constructs a new generation of faster, sleeker longships. Alongside his fierce shield-maiden wife Lagertha and his ambitious brother Rollo, Ragnar successfully navigates to the shores of England. Their first raid on the monastery of Lindisfarne nets immense wealth and brings back a young Christian monk named Athelstan as a slave. This cross-cultural encounter sets off a chain of political, religious, and personal conflicts that forever alters the Viking world. Character Profiles
