The Vikings is a 1958 historical drama/adventure film directed by Richard Fleischer, filmed in Technicolor, produced by and starring Kirk Douglas, and based on the novel The Viking by Edison Marshall, itself loosely inspired by the legendary sagas of Ragnar Lodbrok and His Sons set during The Viking Age. The narrator at the beginning of the film is none other than Orson Welles.In the 9th Century, a Viking raid on Northern England sees the King of Northumbria slain and his wife Enid brutally raped by the Viking chief Ragnar (Ernest Borgnine). As Enid's cousin Aella (Frank Thring) usurps the throne for himself, she discovers that she is pregnant with the true heir and arranges for him to be smuggled away to protect him from Aella.Years later, Lord Egbert (James Donald), an English Lord who has betrayed Aella to the Vikings, is locked up by the Northumbrian King, but escapes and is brought up to the lands of the Vikings. There he meets Ragnar's ruthless son Einar (Kirk Douglas), and a slave with a mysterious past named Eric (Tony Curtis). The Englishman conspires with Ragnar to kidnap the Welsh Princess Morgana (Janet Leigh), who is pledged to Aella, and she is brought to Long Sound, Ragnar's domain on the Skagerrak, by Einar, who quickly desires her for himself, but has some serious competition from Eric.Not to be confused with the Vikings TV series, which also borrows a lot from the Ragnar Lodbrok and His Sons sagas but is a more recent and tonally different epic set in the Viking times. | |

Age Lift | |
| The Vikings / int_121b3725 | comment |
Age Lift: In the film Aella has been ruling Northumbria for twenty years. In the novel, Aella was twenty-three when Ogier first returned to Northumbria and since that clearly isn't a three year old being crowned king in the film, Aella has been aged up. | |

Related in the Adaptation | |
| The Vikings / int_24067bb9 | comment |
Related in the Adaptation: There is a number of inversions. In the novel, Bjorn is an older paternal half-brother of Hasting/Einar along with Ivar the Boneless, Ragnar's firstborn son. There is no relation stated between Bjorn, Ragnar and Einar. In the novel, Enid was Aella's mother. In the film Aella is the cousin of Enid's husband. Thus by extension, Aella is not Ogier/Eric's maternal half-brother. | |

The Time of Myths: The Vikings believe in Odin and the "Poisoned Sea". For some reason, it seems like Valkyries ("Odin's daughters") can be heard singing in the sky as Eric is about to drown — Kitala thinks they brought the wind that lowers the tide, preventing Eric from dying. | |

Adapted Out: Ivar the Boneless, Halfdan, Ubbe and many others are omitted. Unless you're of the opinion that Einar is a Composite Character of all of them, however. On the item side of things, Ogier/Eric's Hook Hand he receives after the loss of his left hand is omitted completely, Eric's stump is wrapped in fur instead. On the plot side of things, Sandpiper's origins as the Cornish Briton Murray of the Moors, the raids in the Mediterranean, and Ogier's running of the gauntlet where he vow to see Ragnar and Hasting as bloody corpes, become a great chief and make Egbert a king in his own country are all removed. | |

Give Me a Sword: Both in the form of a Last Request. And both are adressed to Eric, by his father and then by his brother. Ragnar, as he wants to prepare himself for the afterlife (which means dying sword in hand) before being thrown into Aella's wolfdogs' pit. Aella denies him this right but Eric gives him his sword. Einar, once he has been stabbed by Eric. He doesn't say it directly but begs Eric for it in silence as he is dying. | |

| The Vikings / int_48c99e19 | comment |
Death by Adaptation: Ragnar didn't kill Enid's husband, the Earl of York, in the book. It was the reason he was still alive that Ogier had to be sent away otherwise he would have killed the reminder of Ragnar's rape of his wife. Enid was still alive by the time of Ogier's return to Northumbria. In the film, she is long since dead by the time Eric has returned. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| The Vikings / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The castle Fort La Latte was built in the early 14th century and fortified during the late 17th century by Sebastien Le Prestre de Vauban. 9th century castles didn't look like this. The uniforms and shields of Aella's soldiers were worn during the 12th-13th centuries, not the 9th century. Morgana is brought to Aella on a cog ship. Cogs didn't exist in the 9th century. Einar compares Ragnar's yelling to "a moose giving birth to a hedgehog." In Eurasia moose are called "elk" with "moose" being the North American term for the species. In contrast to this mistake, the original novel correctly makes reference to "elk" as wildlife in Ragnar's domain rather than "moose." | |

Final Battle | |
| The Vikings / int_830b0ac9 | comment |
Einar loses his left eye early on, yet he's still a very good shot with throwing axes as "Odin's Test" demonstrates, and during the Final Battle he kicks much ass and puts himself at high risk to open the second drawbridge on his own — even leading the charge unarmed and shouting once said drawbridge is open. | |

Artistic License – Law | |
| The Vikings / int_8391b1c7 | comment |
Artistic License – Law: For some reason Eric is treated as the rightful heir of the Northumbrian throne by his mother and Godwin, despite the fact as Ragnar's bastard son via rape, he has no legal right to the throne while Aella does, being an actual blood-relative of the previous king. | |

Knife-Throwing Act | |
| The Vikings / int_8ee823b6 | comment |
Knife-Throwing Act: In one of the most famous scenes in the film, the Vikings subject a woman accused of adultery to "Odin's test". This consists of using thrown axes to cut the woman's braids while she puts her head through the hollow centre of a large target. All the braids getting cut without she being hurt means she is cleared of the charge. If one of the axes hits her and kills her, she's guilty. If her husband misses three times, he'll be drowned, according to Ragnar. | |

Adaptation Dye-Job | |
| The Vikings / int_a4414a05 | comment |
Adaptation Dye-Job: Hasting was a reddish-blond, Einar on the other hand is just straight up blond! This happened yet again in the Comic-Book Adaptation where he went from reddish-blond to brown haired. Morgana had black hair in the novel as opposed to the golden hair of the film. The dye-job was maintained for the comic. Ogier had yellow hair in contrast to the dark hair of Eric. The dye-job was undone for the comic with the character once again being golden haired. Ragnar's hair in the novel is a reddish-brown that is greying. In the film it is just greying brown. In the comic, it is just red. | |

Superstitious Sailors | |
| The Vikings / int_a46ce039 | comment |
Superstitious Sailors: The Vikings avoid foggy parts of the sea, calling them "Poisoned Sea". They think it's supernatural and will lead them to the Limbo, but a more pragmatic and logical reason is that they can get lost and crash on reef. Until they are in possession of a proto-compass, they can't plan any large scale invasion of England because the English would be able to stop them on the non-foggy maritime roads they know very well. | |

Ascended Extra | |
| The Vikings / int_a65288e2 | comment |
A bizarre version involving an item but the Holy Sword Requiter, wasn't anything connected to royalty in the original novel. It was just a half-rusted sword with no pommel that got stuck in its sheath when Aella tried to use it at one point. This might sound like an example of Ascended Extra for an item but in the film itself the sword appears only once. In the original Marshall novel, Requiter is the sword granted to Ragnar to ensure his place in Valhalla, is wielded by Aella during the Great Danish Army's invasion of England and ultimately won by Ogier (Eric in the film) in a duel between him and Aella. He claims the sword and ultimately uses it against Hasting (Einar in the film.) All the roles Requiter filled such as being Ragnar or Eric's weapon is undertaken by random, unnamed swords. | |

Race Lift | |
| The Vikings / int_d7c3ba61 | comment |
Race Lift: Kitti was a Laplander (Sami), Kitala is Norse apparently. Sandpiper was Cornish and hailed from the moors of Cornwall. Apparently, he has been made a literal Moor in this film. In the Comic-Book Adaptation, Sandpiper is once more of European descent but with his backstory being Adapted Out it is left ambiguous if he even is Cornish. Bertha was a Saxon from the borders of Rhodri's kingdom, Bridget is apparently a Scottish woman based on the fact that the name is Gaelic. With the Comic-Book Adaptation having reverted her name to Bertha, it is not unlikely she was reverted back to Saxon as well. | |

Rightful King Returns | |
| The Vikings / int_e061cb06 | comment |
Rightful King Returns: Eric, at the end. He's the only heir of Nortumbria left after he fed Aella to his own dogs, and also possibly rules over the Vikings now that Einar is dead. | |

Composite Character | |
| The Vikings / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Eric has the role of Ogier the Dane but the name of Ragnar's cousin from the original novel. In the original novel Egbert didn't tell Ragnar of Morgana but a woman of his household name Meera. Ragnar wasn't the King of the Norsemen in the novel. That was King Horik of the Danes to whom Ragnar was viceroy and Ragnar's cousin King Harald of Norway. Thus by extension instead of being either specifically Danes or Norwegians, the Norsemen are generic Vikings. Edwin is a combination of Osberht, Aella's predecessor as King of Northumbria, and the Earl of York, Enid's husband. | |

Amputative Sentencing | |
| The Vikings / int_faeb7fa7 | comment |
Amputative Sentencing: After Eric brings Ragnar to Aella, he grants Ragnar his Last Request by giving him his sword just before Ragnar jumps in Aella's wolf pit so he'll die sword in hand. Aella takes great offense at the gesture and punishes Eric by cutting off the hand he used to give the sword to Ragnar (the left one). | |
