"Odin's call to Ragnarok" By Leon Goodman
This stunning painting capturing Ragnar Lothbrok's Death ship rolling through the English mists as he approaches Burgred's Saxon Army!!!!
When Burgred see's Ragnar's death ships and what they have done to the captured Saxon Soldiers he turns and flees with his Army!!
Prince Burgred is Prince of Mercia, he is a minor character that appears in Season 3. He is the brother of Kwenthrith Queen of Mercia.
Prince Burgred turns and flees!!!
When Ragnar agrees with King Ecbert to help Princess Kwenthrith take the crown of Mercia, they sail up the river into Mercia. Eventually they are confronted by two forces, one smaller army under command of Brihtwulf who proclaimed himself King of Mercia and a larger force under command of Burgred. Ragnar decides to concentrate the attack on Brihtwulf as he has a smaller force. Burgred can only witness the slaughter of his uncle and his forces as the river prevents him from aiding him.
When the combined Northmen and Wessex army sails across the river to take care of Burgred, Kwenthrith begs his brother to surrender as he would not be harmed if he does. Seeing most of his forces have already fled, Burgred decides to retreat to the Hill of the Ash. Eventually, he is trapped between the Northmen army of Ragnar and Wessex forces under command of Prince Aethelwulf. Ragnar commands Burgred to be spared, which Aethelwulf grudgingly does. Later, Burgred asks Ragnar forgiveness for attacking him, only to be answered by a headbutt before Ragnar sarcastically forgives him.
Returning to Wessex to celebrate the end of the civil war in Mercia, Burgred fears King Ecbert will kill him but Kwenthrith assures him he won't. Later, Princess Kwenthrith wants to toast on the shared rull of Mercia between her and Burgred. Burgred quickly drinks his cup of wine, but Kwenthrith spills it on the ground. Burgred realizes he has been poisoned before blood pours out of his mouth. As he dies, Ragnar, King Ecbert, King Aelle, Aethelwulf, Judith, Rollo and Lagertha pour their cup of wine on the ground. Kwenthrith is proclaimed queen of Mercia.
England's history with Vikings runs deep!!! The Vikings actually controlled half of England with the Danelaw so all Northern place names are Viking! Many Northern English Folk have SON on the end of their surnames like PatterSON like Scandinavian people!!! The English language has many Viking words and Northern English folk to this day don't say "The" before words which is the same as the Norwegian/Swedish/Danish language!!!!! Southern English folk would say today for example - "in THE Kitchen" more like modern German so "in DER Küche". A Northern English person would say today "in Kitchen" like Norwegian "i Kjøkkenet"
Vikings also lay claim to most of the thrones of modern Europe as King of England William the Conqueror (a Norman Viking) was descended from Rollo a Norwegian Viking who was so large they called him Rollo "The Walker" as no horse was big enough to carry him!!! Our modern Royal Family are blood descended from Rollo and therefore so are most of Europe's Monarchs and Ruling Families!!!!!

Leon Goodman has been a professional artist for the majority of his working life. His work has been sold at The Omell Gallery, Ascot, as well as Christies, the fine art auction house in London. Many of his works have sold for thousands of pounds in the U.S. ( Please check out Ref only; leon-goodman.com ) Since seeing his work, Risborough Art Gallery have made him a regularly featured artist. Leon’s philosophy is that it is not the delineation of the subject which is important, but its fragmentation. He believes a strictly photographic image does not allow the viewer to participate in the painting. If the image is fragmented, the viewer can imagine for himself the missing parts and involve himself in the creation of the whole image. The viewer has seen his own interpretation of the fragmented images; the next viewer may see something different.
