Vikingenes verden blir brakt til live gjennom reisen til Ragnar Lodbrok – en skandinavisk kriger og bonde i det 8. århundre som drømmer om å finne rikdom ved å trosse tradisjonen med å dra østover på plyndringstokt.
Det er klart for Ragnar Lodbroks første reise vestover etter at han har samlet et mannskap som er villige til å risikere livet for å reise inn i det ukjente. Jarl Haraldsons paranoia når nye høyder.
Ragnar and his men look for and discover many riches on the Northeast coast of England while causing tremendous bloodshed in the process. When the men return home an incensed Lord Haraldson lays down a harsh punishment for their defiance.
The Vikings set sail to the town of Hexham in search of riches and find a church that more than satisfies their appetite for plunder. However as they’re returning back to their ship they run into worthy opponents determined to make them pay for their violent actions. Meanwhile back in Kattegat Haraldson becomes aware that one of his emissaries was killed by Ragnar and plots to have Ragnar pay deeply for his sin should Ragnar return from his latest journey alive.
Looking to do some serious physical damage to Ragnar Haraldson’s men show up at his home. When they discover he’s away the men terrorize Lagertha and the children while savagely wreaking havoc on Ragnar’s farm animals which sets the stage for an all-out battle to the death when Ragnar returns.
Though severely battered and injured Ragnar vows revenge on Earl Haraldson and orders Floki to request a one-on-one combat challenge against the chieftain on his behalf. Haraldson knows his personal reputation is now at stake and has no choice but to accept or live with shame. The townspeople are aware this is more than simply a combat; its outcome will dictate their futures including who will be the next Earl.
Den tradisjonelle pilgrimsreisen til Uppsalla for å takke gudene medfører en storm av følelser for Ragnar, Lagertha og Athelstan. Ragnar trekker seg stadig lengre vekk fra sin kone, og prøver å forsone seg med sin ufødte sønns død.
På befaling fra kong Hårek samler Ragnar en liten gruppe for å dra til Gotland og løse en landkonflikt med områdets leder, jarl Borg. I Kattegat er landsbyen plaget av pest, og innbyggerne håper Lagertha kan blidgjøre gudene.
