How did Freydis survive?

In Vikings Season 5, Ivar married a woman who was every bit as diabolical as he is: Freydis. After Ivar killed their son, Freydis turned against him and helped Bjorn take back Kattegat. In retaliation, Ivar strangled Freydis to death, before leaving to parts (then) unknown.

Is Katia Ivars wife?

Katia was the new wife of Prince Oleg (Danila Kozlovsky), but Ivar the Boneless (Alex Høgh Andersen) was convinced she was actually his ex-wife Freydis (also Agneson). Fans have been wondering whether Katia and Freydis are the same person, and the show's creator Michael Hirst revealed the answer to Express.co.uk.
