Ragnarok looks very much like the Vikings' series which was quite popular here a few years ago...
Athelstan was a British monk who was enlisted after England was invaded to help the Norsemen.
He was played by George Blagden in that series, who was quite memorable to me especially in another
series about King Louis XIV. Of course they were mostly fiction even if they claim to blend historical accuracy
with creative liberties to entertain viewers. As an adult I developed quite a taste for historical dramas also,
especially those pertaining to the power struggles engendered between monarchies and the church, for
although I am no monarchist, the stories are fascinating given the power those people wielded. King Alfred
the Great (849–899) is known for withstanding the Vikings and helping to unite England. There was an excellent
series about those events and him, too. It was called The Last Kingdom, lots of Viking action there too LOL

Oh! How coincidental! Not that i believe in co-incidences, per se. Not even accidents, really.

One of the things I did while watching the Last Kingdom was check in constantly with the recorded historical facts of the matter in so far as they are known, just so I could better determine what was indeed true and what was added just for drama/entertainment's sake. I did that with quite a few series. Of course some were total fiction, for instance, Ken Follett wrote a couple of books about the monarchy and church power struggles in the middle ages that I found so fascinating I have read them multiple times and also watched the series on them more than once as well; the first is called The Pillars of the Earth and the sequel being World Without End, of which I joke, because the books are both quite long, that the narrative started to drag toward the middle until the plague broke out and livened up the story line LOL. There was no such lull in the narrative tensions in the first book... ;)

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow...
