Fans of Vikings & Valhalla will love the new King & Conqueror Prime Video show
Vikings And his spin-off Vikings: Valhalla Unfold somewhere between the end of the 10th and the beginning of the 11th century. Meanwhile, the new show, King and conquerorTakes up mainly before the battle of Hastings in 1066, walking through all the major events that led there. Since the battle of Hastings marked the end of the Viking age, Vikings: Valhalla can be considered the perfect configuration for King and conqueror.

Vikings and King & Conqueror shows the division responses for historical inaccuracies
Despite the praise of criticism throughout his assets, Vikings has often been criticized for blurring the boundaries between facts and fiction. King & ConquerorAlso, received a division response to boast like a historical drama but not take a real story too seriously. While Vikings Considerably compresses the calendar of real historical events, the new show modifies the nature of many real relationships.
Even with regard to the design of costumes and the appearances of characters, the Vikings laugh more about the perception of the public of the titular sailors instead of remaining faithful to the archaeological evidence. Although this aesthetic choice makes the spectacle more attractive, it adds another layer of unrealistic dramatic flair.
Likewise, in King and conquerorKey characters like Edgar ætheling are completely removed from history, while others, like Edith de Wessex, are completely modified. Due to these changes in both Vikings And King and conquerorThe two shows should be seen for their entertainment value and less perceived as history lessons.
