” she was a character ahead of her time. She fought for equality, battled alongside the men as a famous shield maiden, and never compromised herself even when it meant losing Ragnar to another woman.
Lagertha went on to outlive all other original series regulars, but her journey came to an end in the sixth episode of the final season, “The Death and the Serpent.” After successfully defending her settlement against White Hair in an epic one-on-one battle that left her critically injured, she travelled to Kattegat to update Ubbe and Torvi on the settlement’s recent tragedies.
Here, Hirst and Winnick discuss Lagertha’s impact, scripting and acting out those final scenes, and the live performance that helped give the cast and crew closure on the beloved character’s death. Michael, fans had sent you death threats over keeping this character alive, how were you able to stay true to her story while still servicing those viewers?What was most important to me was to make sure that Lagertha’s death was as significant and powerful as it could be and was in the right position in the show. It had to be a standalone moment because so often in the show Lagertha has been with the collective: She’s been in the army or she’s fought with her son. She was the queen of Kattegat.
HistoryVikings ...no Lagertha.. it's just not right, sorry.
HistoryVikings King ragnar is die , lagertha is die . Wikings for me die. We gona walhala 😢😢😢
This is a cool picture!
LagerthaTheTrue Love
HistoryVikings I'm really GOING to miss her
HistoryVikings Season 6 has been shite so far. Too much time on Bjorn and his ridiculous love triangle, not enough of Ivar in Russia. It's a far more interesting plot.

HistoryVikings One of best sword fights ever on tv, EVER.
HistoryVikings That ending ruined the episode. Killed by a Viking on shrooms. What a crappy storyline
HistoryVikings Nooooo. Why why why!!!!!. Lagerthaaaaa NOOOOOOO
HistoryVikings This show's title should be changed to 'Screwing With the Lothbroks.' Ragnar's family can't get a break. If Bjorn doesn't eat Harald's heart in the next three episodes, I'll be mad forever.
HistoryVikings Thanks I was behind that’s a fat spoiler
HistoryVikings I'm devastated 😟 It was hard to keep watching when Ragnar died but it was Lagertha (spelling?) who kept me watching, I love her! But now I feel so sad, it'll be hard to keep watching the show 😥
HistoryVikings i like how erik the red was introduced in this episode
HistoryVikings God would punish you people for killing largartha o,I have never been this sad over a movie ,I am legit crying
HistoryVikings Over 24 hours later and I am still coming to terms with this. She deserved a better death than the family loser
HistoryVikings Knew it was coming. Still hard to watch. What an amazing character! Just amazing. I sure will miss her. Glad she stayed for 6 seasons!
HistoryVikings I knew her character was being killed off once she took a behind the scenes role, but posting the picture of this article totally ruined it.
HistoryVikings They did her wrong on her death. She was the best!
HistoryVikings Seriously can we kill Hvitserk off by him choking on his own vomit.
HistoryVikings BUT WHY.
HistoryVikings My heroine just died .......you are with your love forever ....best female character ever I will miss you Lagertha
I cried my eyes out last night. 😩💜😢
HistoryVikings Oh what an episode 😭 i was absolutely gutted she died 🤦♀️Its going to be a long week now waiting for the next episode.
HistoryVikings يلعن امكم على بعضكم
HistoryVikings 💔
HistoryVikings Vikings over Game of Thrones
Why why why do articles like this say SPOILERS but post a damn jpeg of the person who died in the article. Doesn’t take much to piece these things together if you haven’t seen the episode 😐
HistoryVikings That was devastating. 💔😢
Hate to see you go😭
HistoryVikings So disappointed with her death. The episode was great, her fight was great and emotional. Knew that this is likely her time, if she succumbs to her wounds and sees ragnar imma cry like a bitch.....then she dies like that, stript it of all emotional impact for me. Felt nothing
So sad
HistoryVikings Seriously Vikings ? 💔
HistoryVikings So sad to see our Queen go 😢💔 loved you since the first episode ❤❤ KatherynWinnick Björn better win this whole thing ⚔ queenlagertha teambjorn
HistoryVikings This episode was very powerful ... I enjoyed it but will definitely miss her character....I do wish there was a way to bring Athostad back.
HistoryVikings I'm still shook after Lagertha died
HistoryVikings Excellent send off! One last show of strength and heroism. Sprinkled with a powerful tribute song while fate becomes a reality for our favorite shield maiden! Thank you KatherynWinnick for making me fall in love with Lagertha and you as an actor. You have a fan for life! 😍
