Vikings Season 4 Trailer
The History Channel released a trailer for Vikings season 4 just before the new year, and it appears as though the Ragnar's tenuous position among his people with the absence of Rollo will be taking center stage. Although Ragnar enjoyed a surprising victory in Paris at the end of season 3, there are those who are speculating on the fate of the kingdom should Ragnar die of his illness. Political maneuvering is tricky, especially with the perception that Rollo betrayed his people by staying in France.
The trailer below is rife with plenty of what fans have enjoyed from Vikings in past seasons, and it looks like they won't be disappointed this season either.
