The Vikings character of Torvi is completely fictional and not based on any real historical figure. Instead, she is an amalgam of the legendary shield maidens, Vikings queens, and everyday women. Fans aren't complaining though. This fictional character is a favorite and has an incredible story arc, from enemy to ally and helpless maiden to fierce w...
When fans are first introduced to Torvi, she is married to Jarl Borg, putting her in opposition to Ragnar and his family. Jarl Borg is eventually brutally killedby Ragnar. Torvi next marries King Horik's son, the Prince of Denmark, Erlendur. However, he is an abusive and cruel husband. He eventually tries to force Torvi into killing Bjorn by threat...
Over the course of the Vikings TV show, Torvi has four children by three fathers, but she tragically loses three of the four. Her first son, Guthrum, by Jarl Borg, is killed in a raid. Her second son, Hali, is Bjorn's son and is killed by White Hair while in the care of Lagertha. Asa, her daughter by Bjorn, falls out of a boat and drowns. She bears...

Torvi and Helga, though unrelated in the Vikingsseries, are played by real-life sisters, Georgia and Maude Hirst. Some fans noticed early on that the two had shared a remarkable resemblance to one another. It turns out that they are both the daughters of Michael Hirst, who created and wrote the Vikingsshow.
While the later Torvi saw plenty of blood and battle, early VikingsTorvi was nowhere near the warrior that she eventually became. In the episode where her husband, Erlunder, tries to get her to kill Bjorn, she is given a crossbow and told, "No one expects you to be able to fire it properly, but if you get close enough, you can't miss." Torvi only b...
One possible plot hole that fans like to point out is Torvi's age. When she is introduced as Jarl Borg's wife, fans assume that she is at least 18. This means that when Ubbe is born she is already in her 20s. Even if Torvi were much younger when married to Jarl Borg, she must be at least 16 years older than Ubbe.

A major turning point for Torvi's character comes when she makes the important decision to kill Erlendur. She tried to leave him before, but Erlendur always had a way of keeping her submissive, usually by threatening her only child. When Erlendur threatens her child again and tries to force her to kill Bjorn, she kills him instead, freeing herself....
Jarl Borg may not have been as abusive a husband as Erlendur, but he was still far from sane. He kept the skull of his dead wife with him and consulted it on important affairs. This had to have seemed morbid and unnatural, even in the violent Viking culture. Torvi put up with his macabre antics, though, and was loyal to him until his death.
In season two, Ragnar's men, including Rollo and Floki, attack and beat Jarl Borg in retaliation for his earlier invasion of Kattegat. The men turn to the heavily pregnant Torvi and seem ready to hurt her, as well. Rollo, however, stops them from hurting Torvi and her unborn child. While Rollo can be cruel and vicious, in this scene, he displays hi...
