Vikings on History Channel

[Lemur]

I'm digging it. I've set it aside as TV just for me, which is important, since so many good shows are committed to either the wife or friends.

The hell with all of 'em. When I'm stuck home with the baby, I'm gonna get my viking on.

I think it is a great show.

would a viking warrior really invite a thrall (slave) into his bed to have sex with his wife?

It's not out of the realm of possibility.

The production company that produces Vikings is also behind Showtime's? (I have no idea who broadcasts it in Yank-land) The Borgias.

The answer is probably no. For another thing the show is contradicting its self from what was said earlier in the series about that sort of situation.

Well the previous case was a bondsman with the Jarl's wife: quite the social gap.
I don't see how it would have strict rules: of course slaves won't have any saying nor initiative, but the freemen were masters of their household and they could do whatever they wanted with their thralls.

What little I've been able to see has been very good. I might even get the DVD's!
