In the extended version above, Lagertha goes into greater detail about why she forbids Gunnhild’s company. In the version that aired, Gunnhild insists on going with, but her offer is rebuffed. In a scene that followed, Lagertha, nursing a nasty gash in her side, told Gunnhild that she needs to go back to Kattegat, to tell Ubbe and Torvi and the others what has happened. Afterward, Lagertha slugged it out with White Hair, pulling off a truly crowd-pleasing victory just when she seemed down for the count. In what would be Winnick’s final on-camera episode, Lagertha had led Gunnhild and the rest of their community in a quite crafty battle that fended off bandits and forced them to retreat. If you are all caught up on History’s Vikings, you know of Lagertha’s triumphant besting of White Hair, after which she embarked on an ill-fated trek back to Kattegat.īut why did Lagertha (played by Katheryn Winnick) go solo on that important final journey, after being critically wounded in battle? An extended scene from the sixth episode of Season 6, “Death and the Serpent,” sheds light on the shield maiden-turned-queen’s decision, as well as reveals what her actual final - and bittersweet - words were to Gunnhild (Ragga Ragnars).
