Vikings season 5, episode 11: How will Lagertha die? Katheryn Winnick drops HUGE spoiler
Teaser for latest DRAMATIC episode of Vikings
It has been heavily hinted that the fallen queen will be killed off when the show returns to History.
In the teaser trailer for the second half of season five, Ivar (played by Alex Høgh Andersen) can be heard telling the people of Kattegat that he is going to sacrifice Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick).
And in a recent interview, actress Katheryn confirmed that her character would be killed off very soon.

Vikings: Katheryn Winnick confirmed that a son of Ragnar would kill Lagertha
She will definitely die and one of the sons of Ragnar will be the one who’s going to do it
“The Seer prophesised that she would have her fate dealt with one of the sons of Ragnar,” she told TV Guide.
“She will definitely die and one of the sons of Ragnar will be the one who’s going to do it.”
It therefore seems very likely that she will not escape from Ivarand will be sacrificed in episode 11.
Earlier this week, the actress shared an exclusive picture from the set of Vikings as she takes over as director, on her Instagram page.
Fans went into a frenzy as they began to speculate that Katheryn’s new role behind the camera means that her character is no longer part of the show.
She can be seen directing Bjorn star Alexander Ludwig, which many of her Instagram followers believe is confirmation that she’s dead.
“I am guessing that since you are directing now and most of your posts focus on that rather than your character, that Ivar is going to kill Lagertha next season?” one commented.
The spoiler comes after Alexander appeared to hint at his character’s fate in an Instagram post of his own.

He hinted that Bjorn could take over as ruler of Kattegat as he could be seen sitting in a throne, which would mean that he has to kill Ivar.
Fans will have to wait and see how the story plays out when the series returns but it certainly seems likely that there’s a lot fighting still to come.
Vikings season 5 will return to Amazon Prime Video in 2018.
