The results of this battle will obviously have repercussions throughout history and set the stage for the arrival of a new character, played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

The creator says that we must not let their priestly status deceive us ! “They were crazy They believed viscerally to Christianity and its message, however, on the battlefield, they were totally berserk” .
Deepening his research, he says that a figure was particularly marked: a warrior named bishop Heahmund : “He was a man of Wessex and it will become a worthy opponent Ivar” promises Hirst, comparing the Character of Richard III. “His whole life has been driven by his deeply passionate commitments – a joker that happens to be played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who himself is a kind of joker!” We look forward to discovering the character in episode 20 of season 4 of Vikings, for which we propose you to discover the promo video . We can also expect that the character do wonders as Michael Hirst has worked with Jonathan Rhys Meyers on The Tudors . Moreover, he does not fail to emphasize that he is delighted with the energy he brings to the series. “Johnny is just perfect for this crazy character, obsessed religiously, but is also a sinner. He is a passionate guy, attracted to women. He sins, and when he sins, he is punished” . We only have one thing to add: Highly season 5!
