    Default Is the Vikings series historically faithful or does it have a woke political agenda?

    I've been watching the Vikings series and the new Netflix Valhalla but I was debating with other people on the networks who say that these series are politically correct and historically false, and I wonder how true that is?

    At first it was historically correct with some arrangements, like the personnage trully exists but at different era.
    More time the less it was.

    It's very rare to find a historically accurate film. Real life doesn't make for good cinema.

    It must be true.

    I thought for a long time that El Cid was injured and killed in a battle and then he won a battle after his death, defeating once and for all the moors, like in the movie of Heston.

    But no, he died of old age and never was defeated in battle.

    Not totally. The most glaring example being making the initial protagonist, Ragnar Lodbrok, being brother with Rollo, the first duke of Normandy, when both were removed from each other for most of a century. Then there is the case of making Alfred the Great a bastard and not a real member of the house of Wessex, and from then it goes on...

    If you want better historical accuracy watch The Northman
    Anglo Saxon + Frank (4.336)
    Viking Danish + Frank (4.338)
    Gael + Frank (4.39)
    Anglo Saxon (4.393)
    Viking Danish + Anglo Saxon (4.568)

    The Last Kingdom is so more or less. Outside Uhtred, most of the characters existed in one way or another, and the events depicted more or less on point.
