10 Most Pointless Vikings Characters
3. Siggy
Siggy is a curious case, as she had been in the show since the beginning of the first season.
At first, she was presented as the wife of the unhinged Earl Haraldson, who was having a love affair with Ragnar's brother, Rollo.
Her motives were never clear, as Siggy frequently switched between wanting to protect Rollo from her crazed husband, to outright encouraging Haraldson's barbaric behaviour. After Haraldson's death, she was genuinely distraught and remained one of the "main" cast for two more seasons.
In that time, Siggy was passed around several husbands and demoted to simply being jealous of more powerful women like Aslaug. She mostly watched over the various children of Ragnar for the remainder of her days, until she gave her life to pull two of them out of a frozen lake.
It was clear the boys were in no real danger, as they were also saved by an apparition of Odin who left Siggy to accept her watery grave.
Siggy never amounted to anything other than a tragic background character that the show never found a new purpose for.
