“I think every woman character, every female character, has her own arc. Yes, I’m a shieldmaiden, and they get the power in terms of the glory and fighting the battle sequences, but also as a mother,” Katheryn Winnick told The Mary Sue. “But also Princess Aslaug has her own battles. And being a mother and dealing now with Ivar the Boneless, or [Sigurd Snake-in-the-Eye]. You know, dealing with different challenges as a mother. And Siggy goes through her own challenges, and Porunn goes through her own different arc. So you have different sides of the female personality and the different sides of being a female in that time period that gets explored.”

There’s no problem with that. There shouldn’t be a problem. The problem lies with other TV shows that have spent too long with, y’know, cop dramas, having cops come into a room and get a biro pen and pick up some knickers. And it’s just exploiting women. Women are always murdered and maimed, and they’re never given their rightful place as lead characters! And I think [creator Michael Hirst] has just written what should have been written a long time ago. There shouldn’t BE anything that different about Vikings, but there is, because there’ve just been so many shows that have not stepped up to the plate and given female actors and female characters equal footing.

It’s funny, because people sort of love to say that she’s a a homewrecker, and she’s this other woman. But if you think about it from her point of view, in that time period men did sleep with other women while they were away. That was something that was mentioned episode one, season one! Lagertha says ‘Don’t sleep with too many women in Kattegat!’ [Aslaug] gets knocked up, and the guy that does it goes back and leaves her, so what is she left to do? She’s gonna have a baby. She was orphaned herself and doesn’t know her parents, and she’s gonna make damn sure that doesn’t happen to her kid.
