The Best of Ragnar and Athelstan's Friendship | Vikings 

Do you want to remember how Ragnar and Athelstan first met? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jPRIcap7P1o.html

He doesn’t fully understand how heaven works in Christianity, he figures “heavens”, like the sky, so he buries him as high as possible so it’d be easier for Athelstan to go to heaven.

Ragnar loved him more than any of his wives lol

the perfect world in Kattegat was when Ragnar was living with Lagertha, the two kids and Athelstan in the same home.

“I hope that someday that our God’s become friends” Such unbelievably beautiful words.

Ragnar: I HATE YOU, for leaving me

Find someone who looks at you the way Ragnar looks at Athelstan.

Aethelstan, "I am born again" Ragnar, "what do you mean 'born again'? Like a baby?"

I don't think I've ever seen a show capture a pure friendship as well as they did. Their bond was something special I've never seen replicated. Really loved when he was choosing to stay and Ragnar says "if you change your mind, your friends will be leaving at first light" as a way to signal that although he's annoyed by his decision, he still loves him and wants the best for him and just hopes he comes with him for his safety.

If a man admits to loving another man unromantically, you know that their friendship is one of great importance and impossible deniability. A bond that is built by respect, struggle, and trust. They do an amazing job of showing the past between them that we never get to see. 10/10 here. I love it

You gotta love that Floki repeatedly goes like "man why doesn't Ragnar look at me that way?"

The look they share when Ragnar says “wherever you go.. I will follow.” Was SO intense. Truly a soulmate situation.

The only person Ragnar didn't look to the ground when telling him he loved him, straight into the eyes lol.

5:50 love how Ragnar protected Athelstan from the arrow. He knows what to look for

Athelstan revealed the side of Ragnar that Ragnar refused to show anyone else, not even his sons. Ragnar was forced to be cold and indifferent with all others, but not with his best friend.

Althestan was his soft spot.

"If i can help king horik, id gladly stay" broke Ragnars heart instantly

I miss the earlier seasons of this show so much

I miss this show. So much love for brotherhood ragnar and athelstan like real brothers 💪

I hope someday our gods will become friends. Is one of my favorite lines.

Ragnar had such an open mind and thus he was so very successful ❤

Mutual respect and love between men of different faiths. Take this as an example, people.

Their relationship is so intimate it could easily be mistaken for romantic but I love how they make it clear they are brothers and dear friends and nothing more

I fell out of love with this show after their deaths. Ragnar’s character and their relationship was the most interesting thing about this series. It made more than just a spectacle of action and intrigue.

After Ragnar lost the priest he was no longer the same as he said that who will now consult him he was dearly lost

This just reminds of the worst thing Floki ever did, and I loved Floki and Aethelstan as characters.

Athelstan was the brother Ragnar never had. Yes, shots at Rollo

Ragnars acting brought this show to life

9:29 when Ragnar looks sad thinking Athelstan is going to leave him.

The best bromance ever ❤

He loved him as a brother teaching and learning things from each other. You see it in his eyes when he said you can't leave me I love you. as if twins and the bond would have been broken. I dare say he love him more than rollo. some times it's not the brothers we are given in life but the 1s we choose

I watched this show from the start and loved it. I never once thought their relationship was romantic it was deeper than that and I think most people saw that too. Much credit to the actors, they were wonderful and made Ragnar and Athelstan come to life in a real way.

The true love story of the show

One of the best and purest friendships ever in human history.

this show will always be near and dear to my heart.

One of the most heartbreaking deaths in all of TV.

back when Europe was still huge forest area...must have been so beautiful once when still mostly wild..as is the rain forest today ..

There is no love that compares to a love between brothers. Blood or not. The bond is like no other.

Finally Ragnar prove it true friendship is more then god's ❤😢

This relationship dynamic was so genuine on screen and just amazing.

Athelstan was his humanity. Ragnar was shown as human a human can be given what he lived in.

I wish they kept Athelstan alive a little bit longer. I really do feel like he died too early in season three. I wanted to see more of Ragnar and Athelstan there wasn’t enough adventures of them together.

He Loved Athelstan more than his own brother. RAGNAR brother is coward & a back stabber.. Athelstan had more Courage to me because he said the Truth..

Ragnars farewell hits every time.

A clash of religion and culture: altruistic trait, and goodwill towards each other(not romantic), genuine friendship.... it is rare to find, ...

They were like Damon & Alaric

Vikings should have won multiple awards including the actors. Such a shame. Ragnar and Aethelstan's relationship was great to watch. It not only showed how much of a pioneer and trailblazer that Ragnar was as a person but also how open minded he was to concepts and thoughts that were not his own nor part of his culture. Its that thinking that allowed him and his sons to have so much fame and success. That mindset allowed him to develop a brotherhood bond with Aethelstan. The conversations and time spent really highlight how much goes into developing friendships and bonds that stand the test of hardships and challenges. Ragnar challenged Aethelstan and his way of life and thinking and Aethelstan did the same. In the end it expanded their capacity to think for themselves and own their own choices and decisions in relation to their journeys and those around them.

Athelstan was the only one who was truly loyal to Ragnar

5:42 This... is why Ragnar is the LEGEND

The one time I cried was during that last scene. Ragnar lost his brother

Such a friendship....

Ragnar was EVERYTHING. I forgot how much I LOVED this show.

I watched this show until Ragnor died. After that I couldn’t watch it anymore. He was the show and without him it was not the same

This series is so profound..so so profound!!

If only we could all meet our own athelstans

A Great Bond of Brotherhood displayed for all to see So Wholesome and True A Love for Your Brother in Arms and Your Brother in Life Itself Well Done by All the Cast, Crew, Writers and Directors of this Fine Series !! Travis Fimmel pulls you in to the Emotions, The Spirituality, and Love the Character he portrayed experienced.

My favorite tv show friendship ever

The last part is such a powerful scene.

This will probably come out as arrogant and prideful, but I believe I have been an Athelstan to many of my friends. Before I met them, they'd say that they were brutes, silent, rough, depressed. Through my kindness and gentleness, they transformed into better, soft heearted men.

Ragnar was wise he sought knowledge more than anything

Well.... Im just in the end of Vikings series... I missed Ragnar so much so i started again from season 1

No. Ill gladly come with you. Me: Aww I hope one day our gods can become friends. Me:AWWWWWW

This show was amazing for 5 seasons

Im so glad they didnt turn this into anything spicy. Ragnar "I believe" saw a innocence in that man, innocence he probably once had and lost, and hasnt seen it since for a long time. Also saw a brother. A peace. A trust. An admiration. But nothing... Spicy lol

This was the moment ragnar broke.

A Bromance is a beautiful thing between two dude ❤

i need to be treated like ragnar treats athelstan.....

“ you live here now, this is your world “…😅

I believe that because of the genuine love and admiration these two had for one another their God's definitely met at least, cause there was noway they were going to be kept apart

The way Ragnar looks at him is like a little brother that he's overprotective of.

I hope that someday our gods can become friends,,,shortly you are my friend..ragnar had a friend from this Man .

The Greatest love . Not sexual. LOVE

Thank you so much,this is my favorite parts,it was the monk that I watched this show for.

He carried him up the hill and i criiiiied 😫😫

He even gave him a proper christian burial 😭

Fav scene so far is in the beginning of Season 3 where Ragnar is begging Athelstan to tell him about Paris, again.

To be young and in love.

Their relationship is the best!

Truly one of my top 3 shows of all time

Man I miss these 2

Top series

at The Last Kingsom, Aethelstan is King Edward's son which is under Uhtred protection from his childhood.

The show simply could not keep up this quality of characters and relationships. Once Ragnar died this show dropped heavy

This is what a true friendship works

As someone who has had this conversation with my best friend...😢

Needed this

I never knew what a martyr was?/laughing/ than instantly serious “I still don’t !” Pokerface Am I the only one who finds it hilarious?

j'ai adoré le lien singulier que partageait ses deux hommes!😍😍😍😍😍😍

8:39 “What do you mean ‘born again’? Like-like a baby?” 😂

Maximum BROMANCE

Oohh Floki…

I have a great friend that’s loyal and unfortunately like folki lol

Velké přátelství ❤❤❤

I love to see platonic love

Watching it again from season 1 king ragnar 💪

Protection means never saying goodbye hope the poet understands

GREAT MOVIES 🤩🤩🤩

Find someone in life that looks at you the way Ragnor looks at Althestan

Best bromance in tv History

We all want to have this Viking best friend, don’t we?
