== Trivia ==
# Creator Makoto Yukimura has cited the series Berserk as an inspiration, the manga has also been compared to Berserk in many ways.
# Thorfinn is loosely based on a real life Viking, Thorfinn Karlsefni Thordarson, one who had been part of Leif Eriksson's expedition.
# Bjorn/Björn means bear in the Scandinavian languages and is a name often associated with vikings.
# Canute's complicated relationship with his father Sweyn could be seen as tragic in hindsight: the medieval chronicles attribute Sweyn as having been abused by his own father Harald I, aka Harald Bluetooth. Emma of Normandy, wife of Canute, reported in her biography Encomium Emma Reginae that Sweyn was hated by his father.
# Askeladd's backstory is based on the early life of Olaf the Peacock, a major Icelandic chieftain and character of the Laxdoela Saga.
