Vikings: 12 Most Brutal Moments So Far
4. Lagertha Slowly Cooks Egil
Lagertha can be just as brutal as she is beautiful.
In season 4, Kattegat is attacked by a man named Egil and his forces and eventually they are defeated and he is captured. He's soon to find that death would have been a better fate.
Lagertha tries to get information from Egil on who supplied him with money and forces in order to attack. Naturally, her way of doing this is by chaining him up above a fire like a pig and rotating him. Egil is not low enough to the fire to suffer severe burns and not high enough away from it to only feel the heat. Lagertha placed him at just the right height that his skin will slowly burn and boil.
She finally gets the information by showing Egil that they also have his wife as a prisoner and smacking the flame to cause embers to rise and burn Egil's back.
