The next two previews introduce some of the main characters: “the warrior shield maiden, Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) and the ruler, Earl (Gabriel Byrne). One, fighting for what she believes and the other fighting to hold onto the power he can’t stand to lose.”

The last clip is, well, you’ll just have to watch it. Vikings premieres 3.3.13 @ 10/9c on History Channel.

The warrior is represented by a woman. I don't know of a single distinguished woman viking, in history. Scandinavian posters?

Otherwise it has a grungy, metallica-fan look. And the lighting seems dull, in many scenes.
