So in the video by the costume designers they explained something very sweet about Slavic embroidery.

So the women of each family did the embroidery for their own clothes for their family members. And the motifs would represent their hopes for their family, for themselves, and include wards against evil or pleas to the gods.

It just hits all that harder when you know that fact. Everybody in this village was someone's family member, someone who loved and was loved.

Obviously there was no such thing as an "all-good, all loving" civilization back in those days of war and strife and slavery, but there was never a shortage of innocents to be found at the end of a sword.

I dunno I just find this scene so heartbreaking. The movie is fiction but this sort of pillage and massacre happened in reality hundreds, thousands of times. And their graves are everywhere across Europe and Asia, their stories and their tragedy buried and forgotten forever.

@Goxy Eagle The Slavs were more divided than the West by comparison.

I didn't say that the Western Europeans were by any means cohesive.

The situation for the Slavic tribes and nations was that they actually had enough of fighting each other and facing the Viking threat and hence they made a deal to by making the Vikings the noble class so as to provide the security and shelter they need from neighboring competitors.

On the other hand, the British were also fighting one another but they ultimately gave up on that internal conflict and rallied under Alfred the Great's Wessex to form a united Anglo Saxon kingdom.

Whereas for the Frankish kingdoms, the East and the West maybe divided and lack the power of the era of Charlemagne, they still were very crafty using their wealth to buy off Vikings while biding time to fight one another at the same time.

When the main Frankish army returns to Paris, the Vikings retreat because they are simply no match for heavy horse formations.

And as for the Eastern Franks, they were tough to take on as the Siege of Hamburg was one of the few forays the Vikings did but to little effect.

Instead it was the Eastern Franks that converted the Danish Vikings to Christianity through Otto the Great. Showing their unity, strength and dominion in continental affairs

What I love about this movie is that it doesn't romanticize viking life, it shows its sheer brutal reality.

Skeletoor

Yeah but it still looks cool

Alfredo Monter

Totally agree, that's what I hate of that fckn st**id serie "Vikings", they romanticized a lot viking life and their characters were a lot like "uuuhhh look, we are the bad cool guys", so boring. Also I loved the serie "Hernan" about Hernán Cortés and the Conquesto of Mesoamerica, they portrait the mexicas without romanticized and the tlaxcaltecans as humans who were tired of Tenochtitlan using them in the worst ways.
