Vikings Valhalla Harald Canute Leif
Summary Vikings: Valhalla is the sequel series to Vikings, and as such, it covers a variety of events from the Viking Age and follows some notable characters from that time, though that doesn’t mean the series was entirely historically accurate. Vikings: Valhalla is set over 100 years after the events of Vikings season 6, but even though it no longer follows the stories of the main series’ characters, their legacy and influence is still evident.
Olaf Haraldsson was the half-brother of Harald and the King of Norway from 1015 to 1028, and he was canonized in 1031 thanks to his popularity, church work, and the legend surrounding his death, as it was supposedly accompanied by miracles . Emma of Normandy was the English, Danish, and Norwegian Queen thanks to her marriages to King Aethelred and Cnut the Great, the latter King of England from 1016, King of Demark from 1018, and King of Norway from 1028 until his death in 1035.
Yaroslav the Wise, Grand Prince of Kiev and Prince of Novgorod before that, was Harald’s father-in-law, though in Vikings: Valhalla he was portrayed as his uncle. The Fall Of London Bridge The London Bridge Has Been Destroyed Many Times A skaldic tradition tells the bridge was destroyed in 1014 by Olaf II Haraldsson.
The Fall of Kattegat Kattegat Is Nothing Like In Vikings & Vikings: Valhalla A key event in Vikings: Valhalla is the fall of Kattegat, which takes place at the end of season 1 and the beginning of season 2. Kattegat was attacked by Olaf, but to his surprise, just as he thought he had won, Forkbeard arrived with his fleet.
In Vikings: Valhalla season 2, Harald and Leif traveled to Constantinople so the former could get the funds he needed to form his army and claim the throne of Norway. Vikings: Valhalla season 3 revealed Harald stayed there for seven years, fighting for Emperor Romanos, and after being framed for the Emperor’s murder by Maniakes, imprisoned, and sentenced to death, he escaped and formed his army. In real life, Harald didn’t travel with Leif to Constantinople , but he did go there.
The Destruction Of Jomsborg By Magnus Olafsson Jomsborg Was A Real Place Close Jomsborg survived Olaf’s attack in Vikings: Valhalla season 2, but not in season 3. Freydis became the leader of Jomsborg and the Jomsvikings, who thrived thanks to her empathy and compassion, but Magnus hid poisonous mushrooms in the flour they got from Kattegat. Many Jomsvikings were poisoned and killed, prompting Freydis and the surviving Jomsvikings to leave Jomsborg and relocate to Greenland.
It’s unknown how the real Cnut died, but there’s no historical evidence of him getting two funerals. Cnut was succeeded by Harthacnut in Denmark, though Magnus Olafsson took over after a war with Scandinavia. In England, Emma fled to Bruges due to pressure from supporters of Harefoot, regent in England from 1035 to 1037, who took the throne in 1037 and reigned until his death in 1040.
The real Harald Hardrada and Magnus Olafsson co-ruled Norway, but it was brief as Magnus died less than a year later. Magnus died without an heir, but it was decided before his death that Sweyn would inherit Denmark and Harald would get Norway. However, Harald not only declared himself King of Norway but also of Denmark, and announced his plans to gather an army and oust Sweyn.
