00:01Stand clear, it is the king!
00:03I have to speak, Lord.
00:05The axe cut deep. Even a king couldn't survive that.
00:07We shall pray and we shall see.
00:34Apologies, Lord.
00:35This was the best I could do
00:36in our first speaking to Alfred.
00:38I brought you food and ale
00:40and, more importantly, good news.
00:43Alfred is dead?
00:45The opposite. He is alive and he is victorious.
00:48We defeated the Danes.
00:52Why is this...
00:53On your advice, you share in his glory.
00:56Glory?
00:58The wisey caged and left to shit in the corner.
01:01You call her that glory?
01:02Can she not hold her tongue for just one moment?
01:04No! She cannot!
01:05And she will not!
01:07Keep your food! I don't want it!
01:09I want them to drink until I set free!
01:11Only Alfred can order your release!
01:12I will speak with him!
01:14You should spend this time, girl,
01:15to contemplate your improvement.
01:17I will use this time to curse you.
01:21And do it.
01:22Alfred refused my sword.
01:25I won't be offering you to get her unless he begs.
01:28Lord, sometimes I wonder whether your pig-headedness
01:30is not simple stupidity.
01:32He will send for you when he has stripped
01:33the mud and blood from his mail.
01:35We will give thanks to Odin for our deliverance.
01:38Do that.
01:40We are things!
01:42Show respect!
01:44Do it again and I will cut you cock to throat.
01:59You are a hero of Wessex.
02:02Congratulations.
02:05We are alive.
02:10what is it
02:13I couldn't wait to see you
02:16I was told you're safe
02:17but I needed proof
02:20here it is
02:24leave us my wife will help me
02:25my lord
02:29my privilege
02:34ensure it is repaired
02:36and well
02:38I'd be a lost fool without you
02:46fingers and belts
02:57my lord
02:59my lady
03:00forgive me
03:01I was hoping for a moment to discuss the
03:04elder man
03:04father forgive me but my lord is in need of rest
03:08he is
03:10you are
03:13forgive me
03:28ethel ward
03:29you're on the hill I didn't see you
03:33I was kept safe with the priests
03:40there will be other battles
03:42many
03:44and on and on it will go I'm sure to we're all dead
03:46you're saying we should surrender
03:48never
03:50never
03:52but I'm not against compromise
03:55as much as I love my god I'm in no hurry to reach heaven
03:58I fear no number of kneeling clergymen will change what a heathen's axe has already decreed
04:03our prayers should be with the king's successor whoever that may be
04:09the crown is mine my birthright
04:13you disagree
04:14the argument against will be that you are young lord
04:16I am my father's heir
04:18yes you are your father's heir but your father was also bonded to Alfred
04:23a son comes before a brother
04:29then perhaps you should speak to the king directly
04:34it is my thinking lord
04:36that if on his deathbed your father were to name you as his successor
04:40the whitton would find it difficult to go against him
04:43I believe your father would only be too happy to whisper in your ear
04:47whether he was conscious or not
04:52your counsel will not be forgotten young odour
04:56thank you lord
05:07good room
05:08you went into battle without me
05:10why was that
05:12that was not the intention
05:15is that so
05:18then why did it happen
05:21let's talk inside
05:21we will talk here
05:24they marched sooner than we expected
05:26and they positioned themselves well on the hill
05:29it will not happen again
05:30no it will not happen again because you have lost half your men
05:34we killed our king
05:35Everred
05:37did you see him fall?
05:39yeah I saw him fall
05:40he took an axe
05:41he's dead
05:42we were not beaten
05:44you want to become king of Wessex
05:46I will allow that
05:48but where's my payment?
05:49my silver, my grain
05:50it was promised
05:51but now it has gone
05:52it's still there
05:53Danes do not lose
05:54I have not lost
05:56you have given them hope
05:57Guthrum
05:58that is worse
05:59without the king
06:00there is no hope
06:09if they've defeated the Danes
06:10which I won't believe
06:11why aren't they feasting?
06:13the priest doesn't lie
06:15despite him being a priest
06:19why are they so different?
06:21so miserable
06:22god's wish
06:26I won't become a Saxon woman
06:28I won't wash, whack the fields
06:29till I drop and cook
06:30he won't come to that
06:31that won't be my life
06:32Alfred can help us
06:33we'll use him
06:36for shelter
06:38and then for wealth
06:41he has used you
06:43and now he owes me
07:05good morning
07:13my thanks for last night

07:41for my father the king
07:42to be at his side

07:48I should have been at his side
07:49you could not be found
07:50I was sleeping in my chamber
08:20before he passed
08:21the king named me
08:22as heir to the throne

09:32I did
09:32though I realize
09:34our victory is temporary
09:36I am indebted
09:37Wessex is indebted
09:39is my apology enough?
09:41it's not lord
09:42what Uhtred means
09:43is that it is not necessary
09:44I wish to be seen as an elderman
09:46because I am an elderman
09:47in Northumbria
09:48this is Wessex
09:49this is England

10:00sorry to convey my thanks
10:01but we shall talk further
10:03at some point
10:04now I have other
10:04more important matters to attend
10:06I gave you victory lord
10:07what's more important than that?
10:08the king is dead
10:10since when?
10:12I have not long left him
10:15my first act as king
10:17will be to offer the Danes
10:18a peace
10:19they will think you spineless
10:22lord
10:23then I must convince them
10:25otherwise
10:27girl bring some fruits

12:10to be done
12:11to a hair

12:31to a monastery
12:31to be educated
12:32it will be a very
12:33long process
12:34I am the king's son
12:36Wessex cannot afford
12:37division
12:38nor can it afford
12:39the ramblings
12:40of an idiot child
12:41noble or otherwise
12:43see to it

12:46docile lord

13:04to Guthrum
13:05to the Danes
13:06you will invite them

19:38Good morning, Newtrade.
19:39Good morning, Lord.
19:49It's a fine coat of mail.
19:51It is, and it is yours.
19:52The battle dress of a Saxon warrior.
19:54A gift.
19:56It's always a price which you have paid in full.
19:59Our victory at the hill.
20:01Young Odder,
20:02have you offered your apologies to Newtrade?
20:07My sincere apologies.
20:08You spoke the truth.
20:11A small bow, perhaps?
20:19You may leave us now.
20:26A good king relies upon good advice, Uhtred.
20:30For example, my nephew, Æthelwald, the king's son,
20:34he is young but sees himself as the rightful heir.
20:36How am I to deal with him?
20:41I should kill him, Lord.
20:43It's my own uncle Elfridge would kill me.
20:46Not to kill him show sweetness.
20:47You're being insolent.
20:48I will allow it.
20:49It is the pagan in him speaking.
20:52You think like a Dane, Uhtred.
20:54If I kill Æthelwald,
20:56I'm admitting he has legitimate claim to the throne,
20:58which he does not.
20:59That is how I think.
21:01But to have a specimen of the heathen mind in council
21:04will be useful.
21:06What do they fear most, the Danes?
21:09Their worries.
21:10They live to fight.
21:11But when they lose, as at the hill, what then?
21:14In battle, they'd rather retreat than lose too many men.
21:17So if they fear anything at all, it's losing men.
21:19They love to fight, but hate to lose.
21:22Hardly a revelation.
21:23Odder appears not to value your counsel.
21:25I do not.
21:26I cannot.
21:27I have been thinking on your request to be recognized as an Elderman.
21:30Which is a nonsense.
21:31I am an Elderman.
21:33Without even a goat to your name, never mind a land of grace.
21:35I'm an Elderman by birth.
21:36Would you perhaps consider becoming an Elderman by marriage?
21:40I know of a marriage that would bring you land and title.
21:43I have no need of a wife, Lord.
21:44A woman helps you grow.
21:45Grow old.
21:45Grow roots, and that is what you are missing.
21:49Marriage would show your commitment to Wessex.
21:52I have shown commitment.
21:54You've said yourself, I gave you victory at the hill.
21:56You helped, Uhtred, but the victory was won by the men of Wessex.
21:59Whom you now refuse to join through this marriage.
22:02Land and silver is what all men desire, and I'm no different.
22:05But believe me, Lord, I have no need of a wife.
22:08My sword is yours.
22:09At a price?
22:12Everything that I have has been taken from me.
22:16I need title.
22:17I need to make my wealth.
22:18Are you offering me your sword, or are you selling me your sword?
22:22To become an Elderman, you must possess land.
22:25That is the law.
22:26However, stand at my side during the negotiations ahead.
22:31Help me read my enemy.
22:33And in return, we shall talk further of wealth and reward.
22:59Well, what did you see?
23:01What did they show you?
23:03This was my business.
23:05I feel unwell.
23:06Oh.
23:12Here.
23:15Water.
23:30Where we find ourselves is fate.
23:34The work of the three spinners.
23:36They sit deep in this earth beneath us, and they've brought us here.
23:41We should go.
23:44To Cornwallum.
23:46Wales.
23:48Island.
23:49Anywhere.
23:50Why?
23:51Escape.
23:56Safety.
24:00I saw Ragnar's ship.
24:02The past.
24:03No.
24:03Wind Viper.
24:06Young Ragnar.
24:07I was there, on the ship.
24:09I saw it.
24:11I want to leave here.
24:13Come with me.
24:17Come with me.
24:18I've given a promise to Alfred.
24:22I've given a promise to Alfred, to attend the negotiations, to advice.
24:30Rita, there's no place else for us to go.
24:32We cannot stay here.
24:36It's the beginning.
24:42Leave me.
24:45We cannot wander the country and do nothing.
24:47How can you trust him?
24:49How do you know he won't simply turn you over to Guthram to pass on to Abba?
24:52You know nothing about him.
24:54I trust Father Beocca, and Beocca is his priest.
24:56I said, leave me.
25:04You were not on the ship with me.
25:07Go to Alfred, and I will watch him betray you.
25:27So, what do we know of this, Alfred?
25:31That he's sickly.
25:32He's weak.
25:33He wants to negotiate.
25:35Celso's that his new warrior.
25:38Pretty bit you, Gotham.
25:46So, what does it say?
26:11He wants to be called king.
26:15He wants to live, and he wants to be called king.
26:55He wants to live, and he wants to live, and he wants to be called king.
26:56I just walked to the king.
27:04He wants to be called king.
27:07He wants to be called king.
27:11He wants to be called king.
27:14But he rzeczy.
27:25He wants to keep it kind of business,
27:38Our God in his heaven, we ask you to find favor with your devoted servant, Alfred.
27:46Bless him with courage, strength, and wisdom.
27:50Never leave his side.
27:51Amen.
27:52Amen.
27:53Allow him pure and holy thoughts, and the power to carry out your work on this earth as our king.
28:03Allow this anointing of Alfred to enable your will.
28:07You are God's king, Alfred of Wessex.
28:11Viva Rex Alfredus!
28:14Viva Rex Alfredus!
28:17Viva Rex Alfredus!
28:20Viva Rex Alfredus!
28:23Viva Rex Alfredus!
28:48I can't imagine a town without you.
28:53Viva Rex Alfredus!
28:56Viva Rex Alfredus!
29:02Viva Rex Alfredus!
29:05Viva Rex Alfredus!
29:19It is Guthrum?
29:21Yes.
29:23You can see a bone in his head.
29:25It's his mother's rib.
29:28How endearing.
29:30And the others?
29:32It's Abba.
29:33The big man.
29:34The chieftain Abba is with them.
29:36You said he was in the north.
29:39Now he is here.
29:42This is good.
30:02So you are Alfred.
30:04The king of Wessex?
30:05I am.
30:06You are Earl Guthrum?
30:08Yes.
30:09If you want peace, you have to pay.
30:12And you are the Earl Abba.
30:14Welcome.
30:15Speak.
30:17In exchange for an agreed amount of grain, livestock and silver,
30:20I propose that you and your ships return to London and remain there.
30:24I further propose that you confine yourselves to East Anglia, Mercia and Northumbria.
30:28Wessex is Saxon and, as such, out of bounds to all Danes.
30:32We'll not believe in Wessex.
30:34We only just arrived.
30:36Then you will starve.
30:38You have little food, no shelter and a weakened army.
30:43If you believe us weakened, why seek peace?
30:46It is the Christian in me, the will of my God.
30:50Oh, I'll hear no talk of God.
30:51God.
30:52There is only one.
30:53You will talk of grain, horses, silver and land.
30:58I will not talk of land.
31:00What do they write?
31:01They write what we speak.
31:03Every word?
31:04Yes, every word.
31:05Then may I say, ass, tits, hump and turd?
31:10They record history.
31:11We are here creating history.
31:13People will read of this very meeting.
31:15I'm waiting to hear the terms of your surrender.
31:17You will be paid for your return to London.
31:19There are no more terms and there will be no surrender.
31:23Guthram here will not leave Readingham.
31:27Then I say again, he will starve.
31:29We will raid.
31:30We will kill.
31:31And you will lose yet more men.
31:34Is that your wish, Earl Guthram?
31:36To lose men?
31:38Your surviving warriors may look to find a new lord.
31:42Did you call a meeting to insult me?
31:44I offer peace and I offer facts.
31:48His head, then you can have your peace.
31:51Him.
31:59Utred.
32:00Ragnar's son.
32:02A traitor.
32:10Nothing to say.
32:11I'll speak to young Ragnar.
32:14No other Dane has my respect.
32:17His head for peace.
32:19You want Utred here for peace?
32:21No silver, no grain, no horses.
32:24We want silver.
32:26And the traitor's head.
32:27These are the terms.
32:28And you, Alfred.
32:30You may remain king.
32:32But we will occupy all of the Saxon forts.
32:36If you wish to occupy the fortresses, then do it.
32:40Take them.
32:42How many have you taken to date?
32:45Father, how many have they taken to date?
32:46None.
32:51We can take all fortresses at any time.
32:53We have taken the whole of England.
32:59And we can do the same with Wessex.
33:01Let me be clear.
33:03I am prepared to return to the sword.
33:05We outnumber you.
33:06We are many and we are dangerous.
33:08But I would prefer to establish a peace.
33:10And Utred here shall keep his head.
33:12But I will pay you well to leave Wessex.
33:16That is what people will read.
33:18But Alfred sought peace.
33:21Alfred paid Lords Ubber and Guthrum in silver in exchange for peace.
33:26It is I who is seeking an end to the fighting.
33:30That is what will be written.
33:57I would never have given you up.
34:00To Ubber.
34:01But the thought did cross your mind, Lord.
34:03Not once.
34:05The fact is, I would like you to swear an oath.
34:09On holy relics.
34:11A year's service.
34:13During which time you will help my warriors understand that the heathens are but men.
34:19And in return and in time, you shall have your own reward.
34:24Utred of Bebbanburg.
34:28One year.
34:42One year.
34:54Let's go.
35:26they have been halted but nothing more they are not defeated our task now is both simple
35:34and impossible we determine what they will do next they will do it danes always do attack
35:38how where when how many we're supposed to be celebrating a peace do we have to talk of
35:43fighting we do my dear because the peace will not last it'll take them at least a year before they
35:49can gather a second great army do you have your word son is there any meat here should she even
35:54be here peter's my guest you should have taken up the king's offer of a wife a lady what happens
36:01next i believe is that they will come by land and sea they will split our army in two possibly
36:06more
36:06now utred may be correct this may not occur for a year or more but what is clear is that
36:12we need
36:12ships we are boarded by water yet we have so few ships you'll not get me on a ship i
36:19volunteer my
36:20son to save our shores we have to look beyond them and to serve god his word must travel amen
36:28praise him utred the beasts on the prowess of the danes ships they are a representation of their gods
36:36no lord they're just beasts they can be lifted from their posts so not to frighten the spirits of
36:41the land spirits of the land i would like to know why some of them make their own teeth into
36:46points
36:47they do that some lady god save us to show that they aren't afraid if they can inflict such pain
36:54on themselves think what they might do to a saxon we will understand them more by the day i'm sure
36:59utred of the danes has promised me a year of his service is that so it is it will be
37:08his responsibility
37:08to show our warriors how the danes approach battle the construction of their shield wall and the like

37:20fight
37:21leverage i expect him to teach you nothing with him with staves in practice by all means thank you
37:28lord but our lesser men if they can know what the dame knows fear can be expelled with knowledge
37:39regardless how sharp their teeth

40:18Almost a child.
40:24You knew that you were carrying?
40:34No.
40:35You didn't see it in your dreams, when you drank the martial mail.
40:46I'll bury it.
40:50We'll bury it, it's a sign of a passing.
41:01Stand together!
41:02Shields front!
41:03Shields up!
41:04Shields together!
41:05Look them in the eye!
41:06Those are together, unbreakable!

41:50Yeah!
41:51Before the two walls meet, the first three rows of men act together to create a tall shield wall.
41:57First row crashes lower, protecting the lower body and legs.
42:01The second row reaches forward, protecting the upper body.
42:05The third row leans in, protecting the head.
42:09Four rows of men.
42:10Shields up.
42:12Shields together.
42:15Shield wall.
42:21I like it, Arsling.
42:23I do.
42:25Now kill that bastard.
42:27Now kill that bastard.
42:46The wealth isn't mine.
42:49Belongs to Lord Ragnar, the fearless.
42:52You will do well to leave me alone.
42:55Are you a breeder?
42:57Who asks?
43:03Breeder.
43:04What of her?
43:07Well, I'm no seer.
43:09I'd say she's unhappy.
43:12She prefers the company of Danes to Saxons.
43:15Nothing wrong in that.
43:17She's been with the wrong Saxons.
43:19Danes have a hunger for life.
43:21Don't we all?
43:23Alfred.
43:26He's serious.
43:28A pious bastard.
43:31Dislike him by all means.
43:33But never underestimate him.
43:35He is ruthless.
43:37And the man thinks.
43:40Which is more than you or I could do.
43:43Leofric, the warrior.
43:45May I sit with you?
43:46No, you may not.
43:48Do the monks know you're missing?
43:51Who said this is Aethelwold?
43:53Another Arsling?
43:55Nephew of the king.
43:56No, I am not the nephew of the king.
43:59I am the king.
44:02Alfred likes to pretend and every bastard appears to be happy with the lie.
44:08What are we talking about?
44:10Alfred.
44:11He will not allow me to fight.
44:12Have I told you that?
44:14Many times.
44:14Well, it's true.
44:15He will not allow me to fight.
44:17I would like you, warrior Leofric, to teach me how to fight.
44:21And I shall teach you how to...
44:24Go on.
44:25You will not forget to pay for this.
44:28Have I ever?
44:29Once or twice.
44:41Alfred was caught humping a nun once.
44:45What I ought to do is slit his gizzard.
44:48Say that to anyone but me, boy, and you'll be hanged.
44:51You are hurting royalty.
44:56You are lucky Alfred hasn't had you killed.
44:59God will not allow him.
45:01I like God.
45:29Silver.
45:32Yes.
45:33Why?
45:36You're leaving me.
45:38Are you drunk?
45:40Maybe a little.
45:42We'll give the silver to young Ragnar.
45:46Tomorrow.
45:48Dusk.
45:51he's here we can tell him the truth and we can join ragman and his men
46:05i need men bound to me by god by duty by the land by wessex itself
46:11i would again like to put to tread the prospect of marriage to my goddaughter to mildred yes
46:18well it would certainly bind him to the land and indirectly to the church to god it would test him
46:23it would he would be in favor still of course anything for wessex
46:44woodford ragnessen is a good man to be
46:48look at me you owe alfred nothing to him your word means nothing you're a pagan
47:02please
47:04utrid ragnessen can never become utrid of bebanburg
47:11never
47:22did you kill my father you need to ask did you kill my family
47:29he didn't i'm speaking with utrid
47:36i won't ask the second time
47:43if you believe that i would kill our father our mother and our family
47:53take your revenge
48:02i knew it
48:04i knew it
48:07to be sure i knew it
48:15it was chatan chatan attacked and set the fire if we could have saved them we would have
48:21i knew it i didn't believe a word i was hearing we have ragnar's wealth we kept it for you
48:31now
48:31fully grown woman now
48:39i've seen this moment in my dream so many times
48:45so kyatan's story is that the english rose against our father encouraged by you
48:52He claims to have revenged himself for the killers.
48:57Did you ever believe him?
49:01Never.
49:03But he is Lord Giaton now.
49:05He has three times the man and the ear of Abba.
49:13When I kill him, it will need to be planned.
49:16When we kill him, it will be dangerous.
49:21It must be done.
49:22Ragnar, we're with you.
49:26Then you will fail with me.
49:30I will.
49:33I've sworn to Alfred.
49:36It means nothing.
49:40Well, if you have sworn...
49:44then you must keep your word.
49:56I need this revenge like I need water.
50:00When the time is right, I swear I'll be with you.
50:04I know.
50:14I can't believe I'm about to let you go.
50:18Lucille.
50:21You've been half my life.
50:26All of my madness.
50:38Be happy.
50:41Be happy.
51:06I take it she has gone, then.
51:11I'm guessing that it's Alfred that kept you, eh?
51:15I sold myself.
51:18For a male coat and helmet.
51:21That's what we do.
51:22We sell ourselves.
51:28This year...
51:29What you're giving to Alfred is not about a male coat.
51:33It's about you.
51:35The bastard thinks, didn't I say?
51:41He wants more than a year's service.
51:44He wants you to help take back England.
51:47All of England.
51:51Of course, when the year's up, you could go back to the Danes.
51:55That would at least give me the chance to kill you.
52:00But what would you be?
52:03Who would you be?
52:06What would you leave?
52:07A which is my nightmare?
52:09A life after.
52:18Good boy.
52:20Good boy.
