Which is very very odd considering William the Conqueror was the son of Rollo and not born until somewhere around 1028 (per wiki) while Bjorn began his conquest of the Mediterranean around 860 (Wiki Link).



FWIW, Rollo's kid on the show is William I Longsword (the kid he's carrying in the boat this last episode). William the Conqueror came further down the line (as you mentioned).

The the EW recap of the episode called the scarred-faced bastard's child, Egil. It says his father was Harald Fairhair, who was apparently a massive manwhore of a Viking with at least 10-20 in his issue.

There's some Viking-lore called Egil's Saga (wiki) that I think may be weaving together his background.
