Hmmm... inaccuracies between the show and the vikings. As far as for the battlefield, the most glaring inaccuracy is their armor, or lack-thereof. In the show, they seem to be more armored in the fashion of the Celts. The Celts were known to run screaming into battle pretty much nekid, and quite successfully as like wild berserkrs.
In the show, they are even less armored than the Romans, which were armored well in the front (girth hoops), used shields, but were nekid at the back. Vikings would wear heavy padding or if affordable (or looted) they would wear chain.

What were you intending to say here? Are the Vikings on the show are more armored than they're supposed to be? Because you go on to compare the guys on the show to the Celts and say that the Celts didn't wear armor. That would make it accurate, no? Are you saying that they're wearing less armor than they should be? Because after that, you said that they wear mostly leather and some chain if they looted it. And that's also how it's depicted in the show.
Halp.
