(Quotes originally of King Canute and Queen Emma from Vikings Valhalla, 3x08).

[theancientwise]

Never mess with Frank Ladies...

and above all, with their beloved husbands.

Headcanon of mine: Empress Frederuna was a calm and collected woman, but whenever someone talked bad about her beloved family, she used to lose her sh*t... Just like her daughter Gisla xD!

(Sorry for the very, very bad quality of the second gif: when i have time, i shall modify it with a better one, i promise!)

Credits to the History Channel tv shows Vikings and Knightfall.

While reading my fave girl Gisla's wiki...('cause i was being nostalgic about her)

i happened to notice something very peculiar...

IT'S OFFICIAL! Emma is indeed our beloved Gisla's great-granddaughter!

So that means the Conqueror shall be her descendant as well in the future seasons of "Valhalla".

You cannot fathom how much i'm happy for this.

[theancientwise]

it would be very poetic if in Vikings Valhalla, William's Conquest of England would be prophetized by the Seer like Rollo's Foundation of Normandy in the original series.

[theancientwise]

on a youtube channel, they did a contest about who is the most annoying princess and the most boring king on Vikings, and guess what? Gisla and Charles got the highest percentuals.

my reaction was litteraly this

[theancientwise]

"Always together, you and me,

without ever saying "Goodbye",

You will be my Earth and Sky.

"Go ahead, for every obstacle

there will be,

It won't divide us... _now and never_"

Lyrics from "We are One (Italian version)" from "The lion king 2-Simba's pride"

Am i still obsessively in love with those three characters and their family? YES, I AM. ALWAYS.
