With Ragnar recuperating from his injuries back home, there are speculations that there might be a new romance in the cards for the Viking. In the previous seasons, Ragnar Lothbrok has been involved with Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick), whom he marries, but ultimately leaves for Princess Aslaug (Alyssa Sutherland). He then has a relationship with Princess Kwethrith (Amy Bailey) in Vikings Season 3.
Ecumenical News has reported that Vikings Season 4 might see a romantic liaison between Ragnar and a Chinese slave that he brings back from Paris. Yidu, as the slave girl is called, has captivated Ragnar with her Oriental looks and her wisdom.
Reports suggest that Diane Doan is set to play the role of Yidu in Vikings Season 4. Doan while talking about her character reveals that her character has been captured from somewhere in the Red Sea and has been living in France since then.
Ragnar is captivated by her charm and looks that he takes her back to Kattegat, where she scares the people with her looks and mysterious ways. Doan hinted that Yidu’s past has a lot to reveal and it is going to be revealed in the show.

Interesting write up but Hirst also said Ragnar had a lot more countries to “discover” before his death too. Considering Ivar’s older brothers have still not hit their teens in the comic con trailer and Ivar was still an infant it would be pretty hard for Ivar to challenge anything.
You also missed one big point. Travis does not want to pursue “his career” he’s said many times he’s happy with what he’s got and his intention is to go home to Australia, he doesn’t consider acting his profession just a way to make money for his farm.

While I’ll be sad to see Ragnar go, historically he met his end in a pit full of venomous serpents courtesy of Northumbria’s King Aella, who had a longstanding beef with Ragnar, who he captured after the Northman was shipwrecked. Ragnar’s brother, Rollo, knew his own brand of fame by establishing and ruling Normandy. Bjorn Ironside, Ragnar’s son, would range far wider than did his father. Bjorn and his brother, Ivar the Boneless, and Ragnar’s other sons would avenge their father, leading the Great Heathen Army, an unprecedentedly massive Viking force, to England where they would defeat King Aella and subject him to the gruesome torturous execution practice known as the Blood Eagle.

All info in the article is correct. Travis is leaving for the Warcraft sequels and other projects. Hirst and the show will be turning to the successes of Ragnar’s sons. Hirst had originally killed off Ragnar before the end of Season 1 in his early drafts. The talent and presence of Travis prolonged Ragnar on Vikings. The real Ragnar was very important to Viking history, but his sons’ fame outweighed his.
