'Vikings' season 5 episode 15 review: The battlefield looked eerily similar to Bishop Heahmund's vision of 'Hell'

No one is safe on History Channel's hit show 'Vikings', but the death of this important character has a ripple effect on one of our favorites, Lagertha
UPDATED DEC 29, 2018

Titled 'Hell', Vikings' episode 15 of season 5 was everything hell is said to be made of. From the burning fire to the devil and gore, the episode scurried through the inner darkness of even the liveliest of characters as an epic battle raged on between the Saxons and the Pagans which lead to the death of a major character and the fall of many.

Just before the dawn of war between King Harald and King Alfred, Bishop Heahmund had a vision of hell. Narrating the vision to Lagertha, he confessed how afraid he truly was at the sight and immediately gave up his unholy affair with Lagertha, taking the nightmare as a warning from God. Soon after, on the battlefield, it does not take the warrior Bishop long to identify the similarities between his vision of hell and the actual battlefield, which is set on fire by King Alfred and his army to trap King Harald's army.
