“Game of Thrones” and “the Lord of the Rings” will see similarities to “Vikings.”

Ragnar, a character of Norse mythology and history, is followed through one of many journeys in his life. He was said to have lived during the ninth century A.D. He became the first Norse Viking to ever successfully raid both England and France and won many territories for his people. Ragnar is remembered as a great hero of his time.

On-screen Ragnar, a great, fearsome and unstoppable warrior, is depicted during his life in the Dark Ages. He is a man driven by lust for glory and fame, but also of curiosity and a thirst for knowledge and wisdom; all of which makes him dedicated to his causes.

With the historical and mythological elements, it’s no wonder why “Vikings” has been so successful for the History Channel. According to History Channel it has taken viewers by storm and has established itself as one of the most compelling and visually stunning dramas on television. With its large, passionate and loyal fan base, “Vikings” has cemented the History Channel firmly in the scripted series genre.

With over 8 millions viewers an episode, “Vikings” shows more than the day-to-day struggles of the human heart in all of its glory. Ragnar shows the pain of human nature in all aspects because he began as a farmer, then became Earl of his land, and took power to became King. “Vikings”’ third season has all the makings of epic episodes to come.

Series creator and writer Michael Hirst wanted a story that was both historical but also mythical in all aspects. Millions of fans agree that the series shows strong elements into the Vikings themselves.

The hit series kicks off after the monarchy was overthrown in the bloody season two finale.With newfound responsibilities, he is joined by his allies go into battle once again for wealth, power, and the glory all for the Vikings gods; a test for each character.With so much on the line will Ragnar and his fellow Vikings warriors reach glory? Only time will tell.

Hirst had a profound interest in the history and cultures of the Norse Vikings since he was young. There will be no promises in who will reach glory or go to the realm of Valhalla. As for new lands to conquer, Ragnar Lodbrok and his Viking army will attack Paris. Michael Hirst assures that “this season will be the best yet we’re going to attack Paris.” With epic battles only Odin will love no one is to know who will survive.
