Big things are happening for Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) in "Vikings" Season 4 Episode 11. Ragnar Lothbrok's first wife will introduce her new girlfriend Astrid (Josefin Asplund) when the series returns. She will also confront Aslaug (Alyssa Sutherland) about the Queen's rule over Kattegat. But is Astrid actually Lagertha's secret weapon to defeat Aslaug in the "Vikings" Season 4 midseason premiere?
Anyone who has seen the Comic-Con trailer for "Vikings" Season 4B probably noticed that brief scene of Lagertha kissing another woman. Show creator Michael Hirsh has confirmed that Lagertha is in a relationship with Astrid. He also revealed that the younger woman could play a major role in Aslaug's downfall in "Vikings" Season 4 Episode 11!
Lagertha Uses Astrid To Separate Ragnar's Sons From Aslaug In 'Vikings' Season 4 Episode 11?
There is little doubt that Lagertha has every intention to take Kattegat away from Aslaug. But how does she intend to do it? The "Vikings" Season 4B Comic-Con trailer shows Lagertha leading Astrid and an army of shieldmaidens to Kattegat. However, Michael Hirsch may have hinted on the Earl of Hedeby's other plans on hitting Aslaug where it hurts in "Vikings" Season 4 Episode 11.
Hirsh revealed that Astrid's introduction in "Vikings" Season 4 Episode 11 will involve an interaction with Ragnar Lothbrok's sons. "At one point, she actually says to the sons of Ragnar, 'I want to change the way you look,'" the creator told Entertainment Weekly.
It might sound like Lagertha's new girlfriend just wants to give Ragnar's sons a makeover. However, it also seems like a fresh approach for Ubbe, Hvitserk, Sigurd and Ivar, who have been raised by Aslaug in the old ways. There is little doubt that Astrid could play a major role in alienating Aslaug from her children in 'Vikings' Season 4 Episode 11.
The "Vikings" Season 4B premiere date has not yet been confirmed. However, "Vikings" Season 4 Episode 11 is expected to air on History this fall.
