What happens to Athelstan in Season 3?
When the Vikings arrived in England, they found a small town where monks lived. The Vikings raided and killed many of them. However Athelstan is spared -- because he can speak their language -- and is taken by Rangar back to Denmark.
What has happened to him since then?
Best Answer
So much. So, so much.
He "goes native" for a while and adopts the pagan religion of the Vikings, having traveled with them to Upsala.
He hooks up with Judith and their progeny is the future King Alfred. King Ecbert declares the child holy and sends him on a pilgrimage to Rome.
He finally chooses Christianity and is murdered/martyred by Floki.

The last time we saw (or heard) Athelstan was when he returned from beyond the grave in Season 4, appearing before both Ragnar (Travis Fimmel) and Ecbert (Linus Roache) to deliver special messages to his old friends.Does Athelstan survive being crucified?
Fans watched in horror as Athelstan was crucified in episode four, 'Eye For an Eye', and came extremely close to succumbing from his wounds. Thankfully, the monk was spared by King Ecbert (Linus Roache), though Athelstan remained traumatised by the experience.Did Floki regret killing Athelstan?
Floki may not regret killing the monk, but if he is to run into Ragnar's old friend again, it may make him question his loyalty to the Pagan gods even more. Other fans have even suggested Floki could become a Christian in the finale, as he comes to realise he is in a losing battle.Ragnar's Emotional Goodbye Speech To Athelstan | Vikings | Prime Video
