Wilson,
Jura was controlled by MacDonalds and MacLeans and then by Campbells.

Great series so far.Originally posted by ragnar View Post
It's based on the historical figure Ragnor Lothbrok and the beginning of the Viking raids in Britain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragnar_Lothbrok
The character of Rollo (Ragnor's brother in the series) is based on the historical Rollo who lived 200 years after Ragnor and who would later become the Duke of Normandy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RolloComment

The Vikings on history channel is fantastic. Life appeared very rough and brutal back then. I have watched all 5 episodes and and getting hooked. Being my possible ancestors, I just cant believe the violent brutality these warriors possessed and am a little stunned their dna could be in my bloodComment
