While all of Ragnar’s sons have their desires to become the next King of Kattegat, it is Ivar the Boneless who could cause the most damage to the Danish throne because of his brute strength.
Ivar the Boneless shall be taking the lead in the second half of Season 4 of “Vikings.” The basis of the reports is the latest trailer of “Vikings” where Ivar was greatly featured as he struggles to become the great leader that he was meant to be.
King Ragnar was also seen in the trailer saying that his son Ivar the Boneless will be known around the world and everyone will fear him.
Based on history, Ivar the Boneless has conquered every land in England apart from Wessex where King Alfred rules. It was also King Alfred who wiped every Vikings out of England according to history.
Thus, speculations are rife that the second half of Season 4 might also feature the war between Ivar the Boneless and King Alfred. Some critics, however, think that such plot is too ahead of the story even from a historical point of view, indicating that it could happen either in Season 5 or Season 6 if there would be one.
Latest reports have it that the production and cast members of “Vikings” have already completed filming for the remaining 10 episodes of the fourth season of the TV series.
