Ragnar Lothbrok, smeared with a mixture of mud and blood, brandishes a battered Viking sword against his brother Rollo, who defends with a formidable Frankish broadsword, their blades grinding together and producing a cascade of sparks. Encircling them, a tumultuous battle unfolds: Viking warriors, clad in chainmail and fur, engage fiercely with Frankish soldiers, axes cleaving shields, and spears finding their marks. In the background, a colossal, wild-haired berserker demolishes two foes with a single swing, while a wounded warrior struggles toward a tattered banner lying in the dirt. The landscape is strewn with broken swords, discarded arrows, and Rollo's baptismal cross, now ground into the earth. Smoke from burning huts veils the view of the Parisian skyline, with the silhouette of a stone church tower standing solemnly in the distance.
