Season 1: Aslaug
Ragnar stumbles upon Aslaug while she was washing in a lake during his travels to Gotaland after Lagertha’s miscarriage. More interested in her wit than her beauty, Ragnar tells her that he will meet her if she comes to him,”neither dressed nor undressed, neither hungry nor full, and neither in company nor alone.” So she shows up wearing a fishing net, biting an apple and with a dog.
This is the start of their love affair which upsets Bjorn because of his loyalty to his mother, but when Aslaug becomes pregnant, Ragnar chooses her while Lagertha is left to mourn the death of their daughter by plague.
