'Vikings' season 5 finale: 7 burning questions left in the wake of 'Ragnarok'

Fans are blown away by the events of the finale and as we eagerly await season 6, hopefully coming sooner than we thought, here are some questions we are pondering about the finale

The season finale of 'Vikings' concluded with a bang and Bjorn Ironside (Alexander Ludwig) is finally the king of Kattegat. As applaudable the episode 'Ragnarok' was, there were few loopholes that we chose to oversee, such as Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) and Ubbe (Jordan Patrick Smith) returning to Kattegat right after Bjorn is proclaimed the King.

Okay, let's just address that, Lagertha knew Ivar sat on her former throne and she chose to return "home" from Wessex with Ubbe, knowing full well Ivar thirsts to kill her. What if Bjorn had failed? Had it not been for Freydis' ultimate betrayal, Bjorn and Hvitserk wouldn't have a chance against the ruthless Ivar.
