Vikings – tv series turned into a slot!
Origin
Vikings were originally Norwegian seafarers who crusaded through the northern seas back in late 8th to late 11th century. Originally the term Vikings come from Old English term wicing which means pirate. So these ruthless seamen were original Scandinavian pirates!
Vikings is probably the most known mythology in Scandinavia and it has also turned into countless movies, tv shows and of course, to many slot games also! During the past few years, tv show named Vikings has been huge hit across the globe.
Tv-series
Originally Vikings tv series was created by Michael Hirst for the History channel. Hirst is known for his historical drama movies such as Elizabeth (1988) and Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007). Before Vikings, Michael Hirst was also writer in tv series Tudors which aired from 2007 to 2010 and told the story of King Henry VII.
Vikings tv series was inspired by the sagas on Viking Ragnar Lothbrok. He used to be legendary Viking hero and ruler and he appeared first in Viking Age Old Norse poetry. Lothbrok fought against French and English armies during th 9th century. Even though the history writes image about real person, there is no evidence of real Ragnar Lothbrok. Lothbrok is just a myth come alive.
