Vikings
Vikingsmade some shocking reveals over the line of six time of year , but many of them also left a bunch of unanswered questions , such as if Magnus was really Ragnar ’s boy or not . The branch of historical play on TV has been on a good run in late years , and one of its most successful rubric has beenVikings , created by Michael Hirst . Although originally mean to be a miniseries , Vikingsquickly won the audience ’s tending in 2013 , who got caught in the stories of Ragnar Lothbrok , Lagertha , Rollo , and more , and so the serial came to an end in 2020 after lots of fight , betrayals , and unsolved enigma .
Vikingsinitially accompany legendary Norse warriorRagnar Lothbrok ( Travis Fimmel)and his travels and raid alongside his Viking brothers , from the root of the Viking Age ( marked by the Lindisfarne foray , as seen in season 1 ) onward . However , as the serial publication work up , it begin shifting its focus to Ragnar ’s boy and their own journeying and conflict , with Björn , Ubbe , Hvitserk , Sigurd , and Ivar take the lead of the series after Ragnar ’s death in season 4 and until the final episode . Amidst all the battles , alliances , and perfidy was a fate of dramatic event within Ragnar ’s family , and it did n’t take too tenacious forVikingsto dive into that as it introducedAslaug ( Alyssa Sutherland)in season 1 , the woman Ragnar cheated on Lagertha ( Katheryn Winnick ) with and with whom he had four sons , but that might have not been his only affair .

Vikingsseason 3 introduced Magnus ( Dean Ridge ) , the Word of Kwenthrith ( Amy Bailey ) , queen of Mercia , who was later revealed to be Ragnar ’s unlawful child – or so Kwenthrith claimed , as this was never confirmed . So , was Magnus really one of Ragnar Lothbrok ’s Logos ?
Vikings: What Happened To Magnus of Mercia
Ragnar and Kwenthrith met inVikingsseason 3 when he was sent by King Ecbert to fight back for her so that she could arrogate Mercia and the crown . Although he was ab initio reluctant to help oneself her , he did and he even killed her uncle and get his promontory to her , as he used to sexually abuse her and “ partake ” her with other men . Ragnar and Kwenthrith were never shown together , and the most “ intimate ” consequence they portion out was when she urinated on one of his wound to help sterilize the region . Some time later , and after failing to seduce Prince Aethelwulf , Kwenthrith gift her son , Prince Magnus , and claimed that Ragnar was the Padre to defend her kingdom from King Ecbert , who wanted control of Mercia . Kwenthrith also claimed that , as Magnus ' father , Ragnar would protect Mercia for their son ’s welfare , and if Wessex attack , they would have to face the Viking U. S. Army . However , her claim were n’t submit gravely and Kwenthrith and Magnus were held hostage in a tugboat , and when Ecbert tried to negotiate with Ragnar using Magnus , the Viking denied being his father . As Magnus was no foresightful of use to Ecbert and company , he was at peril of being wipe out , so Aethelwulf freed him and sent him away to save him from certain last .
Now , as Ragnar never lie when it came to who he slept with throughoutVikings , it ’s fair to assume he was being honorable when he order Magnus was n’t his boy as he never slept with Kwenthrith , but this has also been interpreted other than by viewers . Some suggest that Ragnar was lie so as to save the prince so the Saxons would n’t employ him against him , which lead to Aethelwulf liberate the son . Magnus repay inVikingsseason 5 and claimed to be Ragnar ’s son to Björn and wanted retaliation for his exile and Ragnar ’s death . Magnus fail as far as to see himself a Viking andconverted to Norse religion , but he die in battle when he was shot with an pointer by White Hair . With Ragnar denying it andVikingsnot giving Magnus a giving discharge , it ’s safe to adopt that Magnus was n’t Ragnar ’s son , and Kwenthrith might have lie to protect her kingdom .
