"Vikings" Season 4 midseason premiere saw Ragnar Lothbrok, played by "Warcraft" star Travis Fimmel, return to Kattegat to challenge for his throne. Princess Aslaug (Alyssa Sutherland), who took over rule of Kattegat in "Vikings" Season 4 after Ragnar went to battle Rollo (Clive Standen) in Paris and disappeared after defeat.

TV Guide cites "Vikings" creator and producer Michael Hirst in stating that "Vikings" Season 4 will explore how each son has attributes of Ragnar Lothbrok in them. Ironically, the most promising of them is Ivar The Boneless (Alex Hogh Andersen), his crippled son who Ragnar could not bear to kill as an infant despite urging by Aslaug.
Ragnar will also come to know in "Vikings" Season 4 that he has another son, Magnus, by Queen Kwenthrith (Amy Bailey). However, Michael Hirst tells TV Guide that Ragnar will return to England for King Ecbert (Linus Roache) rather than for Magnus.
Earlier in "Vikings" Ragnar Lothbrok and King Ecbert shared a bond, albeit a traitorous on. "Vikings" Season 4 will see Ragnar Lothbrok want to explore that connection with Ecbert once more. There is also the matter of settling the score with Ecbert in "Vikings" Season 4 for killing Norse people whom Ragnar and Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) entrusted to him.
Which character are you rooting for in "Vikings?" Which sons do you think will fight against Ragnar Lothbrok at the "Vikings" Season 4 premiere?
