Das hat keinen historischen Hintergrund. Katheryn Winnick (Schauspielerin von Lagertha) hat mal in einem Interview gesagt:

It wasn’t originally in the script and we just wanted to come up with something unique and different. Travis did it first. My new pages were revised that morning, and all of a sudden they added, ‘Lagertha licks his hand.’ When, covered with all these prosthetics, and all this alcohol and makeup on his hand, I had to lick it, I’m not kidding, 14 times.
