Ivar: In the long term, what is to stop you from ruling Kattegat when I am dead and gone? How long can that be? I'm not a very healthy person. I'm a cripple.
Harald: But your brother, Hvitserk?
Ivar: All that matters to the both of us is to reclaim the kingdom that was torn from us from that murderous bitch, Lagertha.

Harald: What is it you really want, Ivar Lothbrok?
Ivar: Revenge. I dream of the many ways I can make Lagertha suffer before I kill her. I want revenge because she killed my beautiful mother.
Harald: What of the kingdom? What of Kattegat?
Ivar: That is not so important to me.
Harald: But sure you would rather win-
Ivar: I said that is not so important to me. What is it about the word "king" that makes even reasonable people behave like idiots?

I have been betrayed very often in my life. I never got used to it, but I will allow you to go.

Lagertha

Lagertha: Did you really think I could have you killed, Floki?
Floki: You have done worse things than that, Lagertha.

Lagertha: Floki, I never thought I'd see you again. Not in this lifetime, anyway.
Floki: No, it's strange for me too, to be back here in this great hall.

Ubbe: You should know that he and I have fallen out.
Floki: Can you not be reconciled?
Ubbe: I don't think so. I think it is more likely that one day we will go to war against each other.

Lagertha: Why did you come back here, Floki?
Floki: Because I felt that it was wrong to keep this amazing place to myself. I want to share it.
Lagertha: With whom?
Floki: With those who believe in the true Gods.

Hvitserk: And what of our prisoner, this bishop?
Ivar: Well, what do you propose?
Hvitserk: He seems like an important man. We could offer him back to the Saxons for a great ransom.
Ivar: Or we could crucify him. That would be fun.

The Bible also tells us to show no mercy to unbelievers. Against these devils and pagans, we are the wrath of God.

Bishop Heahmund

Lagertha: Will I ever see my son again?
Seer: Yes, you will see him again, but in terrible circumstances.
Lagertha: What do you mean?
Seer: The consequences of Ragnar's death have not yet played out. You have only seen the beginning of the end. So now prepare yourself for what is to come.

Hvitserk: Ubbe treated me like his little faithful dog. I am no one's dog, Ivar.
Ivar: Woof Woof.

If you take my advice, let their condition worsen further still. Let them suffer more dismay, until only creatures of rags and bones wander the streets of York. Then we attack.

Bishop Heahmund

Vikings Quotes

I wanted to step out of your shadow.
You understand that, don't you?

Rollo

Who needs a reason for betrayal?
One must always think the worst Ragnar, even of your own kin.
That way, you avoid too much disappointment in life.

Floki
