'Vikings' Season 5 Episode 11 Air Date: Lagertha's Killer Might Be An Unexpected Son Of Ragnar Lothbrok, Series Set To Return In November?
The mid-season finale of Vikings Season 5 certainly hinted at Lagertha's tragic fate once the beloved series finally returns to the History Channel. After all, the Queen of Kattegat was absolutely defeated by Ivar the Boneless and Harald Finehair in the bloody civil war that left several main characters dead. But will Ivar immediately kill Katheryn Winnick's character in Vikings Season 5 Episode 11? There are speculations that a different son of Ragnar Lothbrok will be the one to murder Lagertha, and it could be the least likely brother.
There are several theories surrounding Lagertha's killer in the second half of Vikings Season 5. Although Ivar the Boneless or Ubbe Ragnarsson are the likely candidates, some believe that Lagertha's own son Bjorn Ironside will be the one to ultimately end the Queen of Kattegat's life. But is Alexander Ludwig's character even a real son of Ragnar Lothbrok? There is a possibility that the truth about Bjorn's parentage will be revealed in Vikings Season 5 Episode 11.
One theory suggests that Queen Kwenthrith's son Magnus Ragnarsson could become a major player in the back end of the fifth season. Although Ragnar Lothbrok has denied that he and the former Queen of Mercia had sex, some believe that Ragnar had lied about the boy's heritage to save him from being used as a pawn against the Northmen. It could be revealed that Magnus has traveled to his father's home to claim his birthright. There is a possibility that a grown-up version of Magnus will debut in Vikings Season 5 Episode 11 and ultimately be the one to kill Lagertha later.
But will Lagertha meet her end in Vikings Season 5 Episode 11? This is highly unlikely since show creator Michael Hirst has hinted at the Queen of Kattegat's possible survival, at least for now. "Lagertha suffers very, very substantially from her actions, but not maybe immediately, but certainly down the line," Hirst told TV Guide last January. Katheryn Winnick's character might live long enough only to confirm Bjorn Ironside's true father is Rollo and not Ragnar Lothbrok.
Which son of Ragnar Lothbrok will kill Lagertha? Is Bjorn Ironside actually Rollo's son? Find out when Vikings Season 5 Episode 11 premieres on History later this year.
