Interesting Facts

1. The Danes and the Anglo-Saxons, although they were different nations, but spoke the same language. Some historical journals state the opposite, but philologists are convinced that they did not need a translator. There were some difficult points, but for the most part they concerned slang, not the language in general. In the series, the Danes and Anglo-Saxons have one language.
2. In real history, there is such a character as Uhtred of Bebbanburg. He lived in the middle of the 9th-10th centuries, but never before had a single screenwriter tried to write an interesting plot for the series. He really wanted to move the Danes closer to the British, since it was impossible to engage in agriculture in Denmark and the soil was barren.
3. Make-up artists tried very hard to give men soldiers a formidable look, framing their faces with matted dirty hair. But in reality, they looked much worse – their hair was many times longer and their faces were dirtier. Lush hair prevented from seeing, so make-up artists decided to cut off the unnecessary part and make the hair of the actors shorter. So it was more convenient for everyone.
4. The film crew most often filmed in Budapest and only occasionally went to other cities to create atmosphere in the show. A lot of money goes to the scenery, but the director decided to shoot in real locations, which also requires large financial investments.
