Welllll... I can't see Corwin or Utena letting what happened at Lindisfarne happen, or killing a helpless prisoner at least in part because they find it funny. The Viking self-assuredness and battle pride, sure; but at least as portrayed on the show, I think Ragnar and Lagertha are people C&U would stand up to (and probably win over to their side).
