Why Vikings Changed Sigurd Ragnarsson’s Death

As mentioned above , althoughVikingsis based on historical records , it made various changes to agree the story the production crew need to narrate . Sigurd ’s decease was most in all probability changed due to the want of information on how the real Sigurd died , and as his character was built as one who deeply disliked Ivar , and this one was built as an unbelievably strong-growing and driving someone , it was more meet to have him give out by the hired man of his own brother than in battle or something else . Sigurd ’s death also impacted Ivar ’s story as it further proved how severe he was , because if he did n’t even hesitate for a second about down his buddy , he was n’t pass away to show compassion or apprehension to anyone .
