What Vikings Gets Wrong About History

The History Channel has become somewhat infamous in recent years for showing less and less history than it used to. This popular historical drama Vikings hasn’t exactly gotten them back on track. Sure, the Vikings on the show don’t wear helmets with horns like they’re in some Wagnerian opera, but they still make a lot of other fashion choices that are definitely not period accurate. The series does features some real historical figures, but their stories are drastically changed for the show, and the timeline is not exactly in accord with real-life events. Let’s take a look at some things that History Channel’s Vikings gets wrong about history.
