'Vikings': The relationship between Lagertha and Bishop Heahmund ends tragically but not before leaving a mark

Fans had already speculated that the relationship would not end well for Bishop Heahmund, who had not only gone against his beliefs but also offered himself entirely to Lagertha
PUBLISHED DEC 30, 2018

Some matches are made in heaven but Bishop Heahmund's and Lagertha's was clearly not one of them; for Bishop Heahmund believed in heaven while Lagertha's afterlife place is Valhalla. But that does not mean the earth-made romance falls short of love. In fact, the best love stories are the imperfect kind and that was exactly how Lagertha's relationship was with Bishop Heahmund.

The love story between the Heathen queen and the Catholic priest began in mid-season 5 when the Bishop laid his eyes on the warrior shield-maiden at the battlefield. Awestruck by her beauty and valor, the fierce fighter was knocked on the ground but was eventually rescued by Lagertha.
