    A Raid of Vikings Invade During Dragon Con 2018

    Mary Anne ButlerBy No Comments


    History’s Vikings continues to be a favorite for group cosplay at Dragon Con over Labor Day weekend in Atlanta Georgia, and 2018 was no different.

    Since the very first season of the series, there have been large groups who gather in their chainmaille and leather to form shield walls all over the host hotels at the convention. Usually led by a Ragnar or a Lagertha, there have been representations of almost every main character throughout the annual Raid of Vikings.

    Hopes are still high that at some point, members of the cast of the series (and maybe even series creator and sole writer Michael Hirst) will eventually be guests.

    Here is a gallery of this year’s raid:
