The Vikings never founded the Kingdom of Dublin, the England story just disappeared. I had kind of thought that show was an ode to Ragnar's Sons and they would end as kings of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Dublin and Mercia respectively.

It's hard for a series to overcome losing it's best character and Ragnar was the reason Vikings was really good as the first three seasons were fantastic. Travis Fimmel really nailed Ragnar and the Ivar actor wasn't nearly as compelling in the Ivar role which led to the show losing steam.
