10 Vikings Fates Worse Than Death
5. Being The Leader Of A Failing Country
By the time season five rocked around, things were not looking good for everybody's favourite boat builder. Floki had lost his daughter, the love of his life, his friends and everything he cared about. But, he found hope after discovering a new land he believed to be Asgard - which in reality, was Iceland.
Sadly, while the promise of a new country and a fresh start with a group of settlers seemed like a chance at redemption, it devolved into the beginning of the end for Floki.
Floki genuinely wanted to create a new home for himself and those who came with him, one that followed the righteous path, free of revenge, killing and in-fighting. However, his ambitions were too high, as his Icelandic settlement became a den of murder and paranoia.
Not only did he have to watch all of this unfold, but he was actively in charge of the whole mess, forced to witness as everything he'd worked for crumbled around him. In the end, he saw not only his dream, but many people he cared about die, wishing it was him instead.
