Meanwhile, Harald Finehair and his brother Halfdan Dubioushair will use the death of Aslaug and the possible split in the Lothbrok camp to take over Kattegat. This will result in a lot of refuges from Norway who will try to escape king Harald and people in the Great Heathen Army who will not be able to go home. Then Floki will pick up a rumor of a nearly uninhabited island, visited by some blokes named Naddodd and Gardar. A ragtag team will join him, like Ketill Flatnose, and they will sail to Iceland and start up a colony.

[[WMG: Harbard is Loki, but he has to abandon Floki to manifest.]]
In addition to the above WMG. Harbard and Loki are one and the same, but Loki also dwells within/haunts Floki. This is why Floki has a vision of himself/Harbard having sex with Aslaug while he's noplace near Kattegat, Loki's presence is connecting the three of them.
[[WMG: Hvitserk was driven mad by the gods in order to ensure [[spoiler: Lagertha's death.]] ]]
* That's why Idunn appears to him and heals him, it's his apology and his reward for being manipulated by destiny. Hvitserk was trying to expand a little, indulging his curiosity about Buddhism and the outside world, but the Norse gods needed him to fulfill a prophecy that only a son of Ragnar could; the Seer seems to believe that the gods don't tell him anything that isn't completely true, it's just that it's not clear what that truth is until it comes, but that prophecy was very, very specific. There are only so many sons of Ragnar, after all, and even the gods must keep their word...

** Pretty much confirmed in the Siege of Paris, where Rollo fights with no shirt[[note]] one possible interpretation of "berserker" is "''bare-sark''", "without shirt," the other, more accepted is "ber-sark," "Bear-shirt," wearing a bear hide into battle[[/note]], dual wields axes, and generally fights like someone in the midst of UnstoppableRage.

[[WMG: Floki ''wasn't'' Loki, but Loki was possessing him in order to cause chaos in Ragnar's life...]]
...and he abandoned Floki's body after Ragnar died. Floki describes himself as being suddenly empty, aware of a void in himself that needs to be filled but unaware of what it is or what it means: the presence of the trickster god living side-by-side with him in his body is now gone, and Floki can feel it, but never knew he wasn't alone in his body to start with. After that scene, Floki stops wearing his kohl and becomes much calmer and more ordinary in nature, and he even begs Heimdall to convey his love for the gods because he can no longer feel their presence: he can't feel it because it's not there anymore. With Ragnar dead, Loki's reasons for interfering so directly with Midgard are resolved and he can move on to his next hustle, leaving poor Floki in his one-man boat, singing his heart out.

Floki turned out to be Hrafna-Flóki Vilgerðarson. Margrethe is very ambitious, and the Seer said she would be queen, just not of where she is at the time she asked him.

The margrethe connection kind of lines up. Also, Denmark is near Iceland.

Jossed (mostly). Ivar unceremoniously killed Sigurd. That would have made Sigurd the analogue to Baldr. Ivar does kind of match the vengeance trope that Vidar. Part of the legend states Loki had an active role in Baldr’s death, but Floki (as far as we know) didn’t encourage fratricide. Ivar kind of denies ‘intentionally’ killing his brother, but he’s also easily the most violent character of the entire series.
