Vikings is a show that doesn't shy abroad from sex activity - but even in this world, where coincidental sex is the norm, Bjorn seems to accept a lot more success with women than about. While most other characters either have a few romances, one or two marriages, or fifty-fifty stay unattached (similar Harald, and his terrible luck with women), Bjorn manages to marry no fewer than v women over the course of his life, and has a couple of other flings forth the style.

In fact, his seeming disability to remain with ane woman is sometimes seen every bit his biggest flaw - specially for fans of Torvi, who is deeply hurt when Bjorn loses interest in her. However, he is not vicious to the women he marries, and isn't a man to cheat (especially after seeing what his father's adulterous did to their family). Instead, his relationships often overlap through the full consent and suggestion of other partners, and end mutually, or through expiry.

six Elsewith & Astrid: Noteworthy Lovers

While Bjorn does not ally or form a long-term attachment with either Elsewith or Astrid, both are important plenty to get a mention as ii important relationships. Elsewith, of course, goes on to get Alfred's wife - but not before she seduces Bjorn in Wessex. This may seem like a simple ane-off run into, only when she announced her pregnancy, it did lead fans to wonder if her child might exist Bjorn's.  Astrid, meanwhile, got together with Bjorn in Kattegat, where Lagertha was ruling. This was short-lived, and speculated to be more nigh a mode to irritate Lagertha (who was sleeping with Astrid herself) than a existent attraction.

v Thorunn

Thorunn starts off in the show as an enslaved adult female in Kattegat, when Bjorn falls for her (only she is hesitant about a relationship). Eventually, Aslaug frees Thorunn so that she can pursue a real relationship with Bjorn on equal ground (or at least, equally equal as a retainer and a Son of Ragnar could exist), if she wants to. After some back and forth, the two connect, and Thorunn becomes a shieldmaiden and goes to war aslope Bjorn. The 2 practise marry, and even have a daughter, Siggy, but things practise not end well for the pair. Thorunn is seriously injured in battle, ending upwards with a large scar over her face - miserable at the change to her appearance, she pushes Bjorn away, and eventually simply leaves Kattegat (and her husband) and is never seen again.

4 Torvi

Torvi and Bjorn begin their relationship while both are married to other people - Bjorn is even so with Thorunn, although she has pushed him away and told him to detect a new human relationship elsewhere, and Torvi is married to Erlunder, who she despises. Torvi and Bjorn do begin a relationship, and when Erlunder threatens the life of Torvi's child unless she kills Bjorn, she turns the tables on him (or turns the crossbow on him, more than accurately), and murders him in forepart of anybody. After this, and Thorunn's disappearance, they are free to be together.

Over the grade of Torvi and Bjorn's long relationship, they have 2 children, and for a long fourth dimension, they are happy together. Both are passionate and brave, brilliant warriors and explorers, and they meet on equal footing. Even so, as time goes on, it becomes clear that Bjorn has lost interest in Torvi and his children, and their ending is a heartbreaking one. Torvi sees that Bjorn has get enamored with someone else, and tells him that she will release him to be free to be with her. It's a distressing moment, when it happens, merely in the end it works out well for anybody - as Bjorn finds Gunnhild, and Torvi finds a new equal partner in Ubbe.

iii Sneafrid

One of Bjorn's shortest-lived marriages is to Sneafrid, the daughter of Male monarch Svase, one of Bjorn's allies against Ivar. She comes from a very different land and culture, but the two are utterly smitten with each other as shortly as they first encounter, and it is obvious that they will find a way to be together. Sneafrid isn't just a political brotherhood or marriage, either - she has a way of making Bjorn express mirth that few others do, and they seem to both be great fighters, in their own ways. Notwithstanding, Ivar is able to overwhelm Svase and his forces, and Sneafrid is killed after she and Bjorn accept been together simply a short time.

two Gunnhild

Gunnhild is the true love of Bjorn'southward life, as much as he has one, and becomes his equal and his partner in many ways. The two meet nether hard circumstances, merely information technology'southward clear that there is a true remainder here, and a deep attraction. Gunnhild is a warrior, merely also a capable ruler, and she suits Bjorn at this fourth dimension in his life, when much of his exploring is giving way to attempting to rule at home. She is a steadying influence, but a dandy fighter, at the aforementioned time. Gunnhild is past Bjorn's side for much of the after seasons, fifty-fifty though King Harald repeatedly tries to seduce her abroad from him with promises that 1 solar day, he will be king.

In the end, though, Gunnhild becomes unhappy that she cannot seem to take a kid with Bjorn, and the 1 time that she does become pregnant, she goes into early labor and the child doesn't survive. While she never leaves Bjorn or stops loving him, she does have him taking a 2d married woman, so that he may have sons to acquit on his name. After Bjorn dies, his second wife is willing to marry Male monarch Harald in social club to retain power, but Gunnhild refuses to always marry some other, and walks into the sea, intending to drown and bring together Bjorn in Valhalla.

1 Ingrid

Bjorn's terminal married woman, Ingrid ends the serial every bit the ruler of Kattegat - a twist that surprised many fans. When she and Bjorn first run into, it is when she is a citizen in Kattegat, and Bjorn is simply attracted to her (and she to him, similar seemingly every other adult female in the serial!). Every bit already mentioned, Gunnhild is a pragmatic woman, and when she sees them together, only suggests that he ally Ingrid, as well. For the about part, though, their relationship seems primarily based on pure attraction, rather than the real coming together of minds that Bjorn has with some of his previous partners. And when it is revealed after his death that Ingrid is, in fact, a powerful witch, information technology'due south easy to speculate that she actually got his attention by magic... so once more, Bjorn didn't often need spells to connect with a new and bonny woman!
