Vikings Question

quote:

---

And who's the father of the little boy that was sent away when Ragner was brought in?

---

We don't know. His mom was a major slut.

The boy sent away isn't Alfred. It is Magnus. Alfred is Athelstan son.

I don't like how they act like Alfred is the heir apparent

Even if you want to pretend that he's aethelstans son for the show, one of the coolest parts of Alfred the great's past is that he was such an unlikely king because he was the 5th son

On the show they act like aethelwulf has no other kids

quote:

I believe Alfred took over when his brother died, and the kingship wasn't automatically an inherited right bc the witan had to approve.

---

He did take over when his brother died

But two other brothers were king before that brother

Alfred was the 4th brother to be king of wessex

Aethelwulf was fricking that queen also if I remember correct, so maybe that dumbass sent away his own son.

I think Magnus really is Ragnar's son and he said all that just to protect him. I'm sure Magnus is going to be reintroduced later once he's grown into a fricking badass after having to fend for himself all this time.

Its a dark world at that time. They call it the dark ages for a reason. Rare to see a real holy man, someone who truly wrestles with his faith and tries to live up to it. There was a purity of heart about him yet he was not a coward that made him stand out. He was an example of what people could be instead of what they were and the two kings both recognized it.
