The upcoming fourth season “Vikings” shall also focus on the storyline about the Northmen’s settlement pact with King Ecbert.
Michael Hirst also confirmed that there is likely the possibility that Season 4 will tackle the Wessex settlement issue.
It can be recalled that the settlement issue was ruined when the English monarch decided to annihilate the Norse people who chose to remain and cultivate the land that was given to them.
In a recent interview with a US magazine, Hirst said that Ecbert, played by Linus Roache, is one of his favorite characters in the TV series, and the actor is also one of his favorite actors. He believes that Roache brings a lot to the show.
Hirst said that he wants to build on that premise to work on the unfinished business element in the hit “Vikings” TV series. He disclosed that it has always been on Ragnar’s mind that one day he’s going to go back and try to settle it for good, averring that someone has to pay for the destruction of the settlement.
