Netflix Original Series
When the plague struck Kattegat, the gods spared only one child of the Earl: Gyda Ragnarsdóttir. Growing up in the shadow of her legendary mother, Lagertha, and her visionary father, Ragnar, Gyda refuses to be a bargaining chip for political marriages. Instead, she trains in secret, mastering the axe and the shield until she earns her place in the shieldwall. As Ragnar sails for England and Bjorn seeks the Mediterranean, Gyda becomes the "Shield of Kattegat." She acts as the diplomat and the enforcer, balancing the volatile egos of her younger half-brothers (Ivar, Ubbe, Hvitserk, and Sigurd) while protecting her mother’s throne. When the Great Heathen Army rises, it isn't just the sons of Ragnar who lead it—it is the daughter who survived the gods' judgment. Gyda’s journey takes her from the fjords of Norway to the courts of Wessex, where she becomes a legend known for her tactical mind and her unbreakable shield.
