It’s not a documentary and can’t reasonably be expected to get everything right, since even European historians agree about how difficult it is to confirm historical details about the Vikings and their religious practices due to how much later in time accounts of their actions were written down. The Vikings franchise isn’t entirely fiction or nonfiction, but rather borrows characters and events from history. Historians sketch out the Viking Age as happening between the late 8th century through the early 11th century. By the mid-11th century, the Christian Church was firmly established in both England and Scandinavia. There were a lot of factors leading Vikings to convert during this time: increased contact with Christianity via raids, pressures to broker peace between the religions for political and economic reasons, and general desires to settle in new areas, which meant living alongside Christian neighbors. According to Stuart, the Vikings who converted to Christianity over the decades since the times of Ragnar and Bjorn “were mostly very sincere, very tough” and “very focused on absolute and total conversion to Christianity…or violently wiping paganism off the map entirely.” We’re looking at got the beginning of the end of the Viking Age and the influence of old gods like Odin and Thor. Religious war to play a major part in Vikings: Valhallaīy the time of Valhalla, Christianity had gone global and was the main religion in most of Europe. Characters include Leif Eriksson, his sister Freydis, Emma of Normandy, King Canute II, Harald Sigurdsson and Olaf Haraldsson. Fueling that fire are the warring religious factions, even among the Vikings themselves. In Valhalla, some of the most legendary Norsemen of all time will take center stage as tensions between the conquering Vikings and empire-seeking English come to a boil. The History Channel and Amazon Prime Video series also depicted early meetings between the old gods-worshipping Vikings and the Christians of medieval Europe. The original Vikings series chronicled events and the lives of characters taken from Norse myth, following them as they raided coastal settlements for treasure and power. “This religious civil war is between the pagan Vikings, who still worshipped Odin and the old gods, and Christian Vikings, who had converted in this huge tide of Christianity that was coming up from Western Europe,” he said. The sequel show is set about 100 years after the raids, battles and adventures of Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel), his wife Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) and their son Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig), so we’ll be getting a whole new cast of Viking raiders to love and fear.Īhead of Valhalla’s February 25 release, co-creator and showrunner Jeb Stuart spoke to the UK’s Daily Express about its 11th century setting, as well as the brutal and epic religious conflict at its center. The series culminates in the events leading up to the 2019 arrest of the current Apostle, Naasón Joaquín García and his present-day trial, shedding light on a story that was all but ignored by mainstream media, and illustrating the positive power of social media to unite and provide agency to the survivors.After nearly two years, Vikings will finally return, this time in a new Netflix series called Vikings: Valhalla. Joaquín Gonzalez was succeeded by his son and then grandson, all three Apostles said to be appointed by “divine revelation.” Now, scores of former members have come forward to describe how the Apostles built and maintained a system to procure and groom children for abuse. Under the guise of the only true church offering eternal salvation, LLDM, which claims to have congregations in over 50 countries and over five million followers, was founded in 1926 by Aarón Joaquín Gonzalez. This documentary series explores the horrifying, yet relatively unknown story of the Christian church La Luz del Mundo (LLDM) and the sexual abuse that scores of members, many of them minors, say they have suffered at the hands of its successive leaders, known as the “Apostles.” Told from the point of view of the survivors who met to share their stories of abuse, the series chronicles the history of one of the most powerful religious groups not only in Mexico where it was founded, but also in the United States, while giving voice to the men and women who were brave enough to stand up and call out the heinous crimes.
