Katheryn Winnick sends a touching and heart-melting message to show following final series of ViKings.

VIKINGS has finally come to a close after six bone-crushing, action-packed and thrilling seasons on History and Amazon Prime Video which saw Lagertha actor Katheryn Winnick emerge as one of the show’s all-time fan-favourites.

Lagertha (played by Katheryn Winnick) proved herself to be one of the History and Amazon Prime drama’s most popular warriors throughout all six seasons of the hit historical series.

And while she may have bowed out prior to Vikings’ final season’s midseason break, actor Winnick has shared a sweet message to her social media followers about the show’s final outing and how “proud” she is the story drew to a close.

As the final season of Vikings approached its midseason finale, Lagertha found herself bowing out of the show in rather gruesome circumstances.

The former Queen of Kattegat was inadvertently on the receiving end of Hvitersk’s (Marco Ilso) blade after he mistook her for wicked sibling Ivar (Alex Hogh Andersen).

As the rain poured in her final moments, so did the tears as the show’s final season saw one of its biggest characters fail to make it to the end of the tale alive.And her funeral provided one of the sixth season’s most memorable moments as well as Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig) and hundreds of others gathered to say their farewell.

Since Lagertha’s demise, Winnick has gone on to star in ABC drama Big Sky alongside the likes of Kylie Bunbury and Brian Geraghty.

However, following the second half of season six’s release on Amazon Prime Video, the actor paid homage to her former role and everyone involved on the show.
