... celibate?
In the game he is only Chaste, but historians agree that he made a conscious decision to remain unmarried and childless at the start of his reign. This means Celibate. Some speculate he agreed not to marry and produce children in order to be accepted as king, while others ascribe it to his enormous zeal.
He has two living paternal half-brothers to continue the dynasty so there is no gameplay reason for this inaccuracy.
After King Horik's man delivered the news about Jarl Borg's invasion of Kattegat, Ragnar asks Athelstan if he will come with him to take back Kattegat, he says no. Even Ragnar says it is out of character, suprised and disappointed. Athelstan's answer is "oh but you said these contacts here is important for vikings' future." Then Ragnar says if he changes his mind, his friends are leaving at dawn. At that time Athelstan was considered like a family member by Ragnar and Athelstan is generally a kind and caring character. It felt like a terribly written scene just to have an excuse to crucify Athelstan and making him friends with King Ecbert. What do you think about the scene?
Everyone loves him for some reason...Ragnar and Ecbert, and this subreddit community
Like he's a chill character I guess but why is he regarded so highly...like he's second to god almost
Someone explain
When Ecbert kissed Judith (mother of Athelstan's baby) and considering Ecbert always praised Athelstan for being a holy creature/symbol for his people, mainly to Aethelwulf, during the kiss Judith touched her lips and looked confused.
What if, Athelstan was somehow, in someway connected with Ecbert after he died? Ecbert was really not at peace with himself and he was being torn up with everything at the time, maybe Athelstan would relief the pain? He loved Ragnar, after all. When Ecbert kissed Judith it seemed so different. She was confused by it and it seemed like it felt familiar, and since Athelstan always used to put his hand on other peoples head (the same way Ecbert did in this scene) could this be the case? Ecbert also changed to Athelstans old attire and walked barefooted to Ragnar to witness his death, hence the warming and loving smile coming from Ecbert and as soon as Ragnar passes away, the smile fades, presumably Athelstan then left, and why Ecbert seemed lost, like he didn't know where he were.
"You will die when the blind man sees you" Athelstan was blind at one point? What if Athelstan was the last person he would see, in Ecberts body?

Sir Loin.
Honestly, I don't know what's more impressive - the 4 straight SB appearances or the fact that they didn't win a single one of those four.
How would the early 90s Bills be remembered if they won 1 or 2 of those SBs?
Edit: To all the Patriots' fans taking this as another post shitting on the Patriots, this isn't even about that. It was more about pointing out how impressive the Bills' feat is considering that even the Patriots, one of the greatest organizations in history, failed to even match the achievement.
I know that the Bills didn't win a SB and they would rather have 1 win than 4 straight winless appearances but the fact that they're the only team to ever have this accomplishment doesn't receive as much credit as it should imo.

Why flex a game for first place at all if you are just going to bury it where hardly anyone can see it?
I love Canada already and am settling in well, Canadians are the kindest people I know. Back in Brighton, UK everyone seemed down in the dumps most days and wouldn't want to help you no matter what.
Fuckin eh, I love it already. Oh and Banff, Alberta is the most beautiful magical place I have been to.
Out Of curiously what do you guys think of British people, you can be honest...
