Viking Characters Thoughts: 01 Margrethe

Does anyone else feel bad for Margrethe in Vikings? She is a sex slave when first introduced with no autonomy.  I always thought she was a slave from a young age and the name Margrethe does not seem typically Norse. It comes from the name “Margaret” which is a common Christian name.

Honestly, I wished her story was taken in a different route.  With Ubbe, I wished they never married.  I would still have Ubbe free her but without marriage involved.  I could see her in another relationship with a freedman until he is killed in the Ragnarsons’ war. Then she likely dies in the same way by sharing Ivar’s inability to have children.

Does anyone else have a different ending in mind for Viking characters?
