how many times will they kill Rollo
Historical Spoilers...
Rollo Lothbrok is the first Duke of Normandy and great-great-great grandfather of William the conquer. His ancestors still sit on the throne of England. He becomes fascinated with France and sticks around driving the king mad until he gives him land which becomes Normandy "the land of Northman".
Bjorn Ironsides becomes king of Sweden.
So if the show sticks to history, which it appears to do for the most part, them nearly dying is just shock value and they will be central figures for this story if they carry it too much further.

I saw Rollovas more submitting than being near death. It was a 20 ft backbuster. If anything he should have screamed like a girl. Born looked dead. His eyes were just open and no sign of life. Actor might just suck at portraying near death. I am still really into this show, but I am really into Viking culture. I hate hearing the French chick talk. I hope she dies soon.

Looks like he wasnt even related to Ragnar but was too important a historical figure to elave him out of the show so they tied him through the main character:

Well, the chances are pretty good that he wasn't a "Lothbrook" to begin with! In fact, the chances are pretty high that, in The History Channel's saga, it was ROLLO, not Ragnar, that made the biggest impact on England.
Rollo (c. 846 - c. 931), who was baptized Robert and so is sometimes numbered Robert I to distinguish him from descendants, was a Norse nobleman of Norwegian or Danish descent.
