13. The Show’s As Accurate As It’s Going to Get

Because many details surrounding the Vikings is murky, the show had to work with bits and pieces of historical documentation. Creator Michael Hirst said, “I especially had to take liberties with Vikings because no one knows for sure what happened in the Dark Ages. Very little was written then.” The production crew used visual references from Scandinavian museums to ensure accurate artifacts were used in the series, but aside from that, the rest of the show is pretty much a “fill in the blank.”
