last kingdom vs vikings

One common theme is the clash of cultures. Since The Last Kingdom focuses on Saxons and Vikings focuses on, well, Vikings, when they cross over, there's always a lot of exploration of how these different cultures interact. Another theme is the idea of loyalty. Characters from both shows have strong loyalties to their own groups, and in the crossovers, this loyalty is often tested.

There's also 'A Meeting of Two Worlds' which is a well - written fanfic. It delves into how the cultures from both shows would interact. The author does a great job of keeping the characters in - character and creating a believable story where the two universes collide. It has some exciting battle scenes and political intrigue that fans of both shows would enjoy.

Many believe that Vikings had a single, unified 'Viking' look or style. But in fact, they were a diverse group of people from different regions. Their clothing, weapons, and ship designs varied depending on where they were from. For example, Vikings from Norway might have different shipbuilding techniques compared to those from Denmark. Their art also had regional differences, with some areas having more elaborate and intricate designs than others.

Well, in terms of characters, some are fictionalized. The real historical figures had more complex lives. For instance, Uhtred in the show has some fictional adventures added. In fact, the historical context was full of political intrigue that the show may simplify to keep the story flowing. The real events were spread out over a longer time and not as neatly packaged as in the fictional story.

It blends them by using real historical events as a backdrop. For example, the Viking invasions were real, and the show builds on that. Then it creates fictional characters like some of Uhtred's comrades who interact with the real - world situation.

In terms of the setting, 'The Last Kingdom' is set in a real historical period. However, the battles shown might not be exactly as they happened in real life. The show may exaggerate some aspects for dramatic effect. For instance, the size of the armies or the sequence of certain military maneuvers could be different from historical records. Also, the relationships between different kingdoms are generally based on historical facts, but the individual interactions and negotiations might be fictionalized to fit the story.

One common fiction is that all Vikings wore horned helmets in battle. In fact, there's no historical evidence to support this. Horned helmets would have been impractical in combat. Real Vikings likely wore simple iron helmets for protection.

The show may also exaggerate the role of some characters. There are minor characters in history that in the show are given more prominent storylines. This is done to add more depth and variety to the overall narrative. However, it means that the show is not always a completely accurate representation of historical events and the people involved in them.

Well, in terms of fact, archaeological evidence shows that Vikings had certain burial practices related to their beliefs in the afterlife including Valhalla. However, in 'Vikings Valhalla' (fiction), they might make up relationships between characters to add more drama. For example, they might create a fictional love story between two characters that has no basis in historical fact but serves to engage the audience more. Also, the show might over - emphasize the role of some individuals in Viking society compared to what historical research suggests.

Yes, The Last Kingdom is fiction. It's based on historical events and figures but takes creative liberties to form an engaging story.
