00:02Years passed, and for those years we had nothing.
00:07No word, no sign.
00:12Just quiet rumours that she had died.
00:17That she was reborn.
00:22I hoped this silence meant that she had found peace.
00:28Most forgot her.
00:31I did not.
00:36And I knew, in time, she would return.
00:57So slow.
01:03So slow.
01:11So slow.
01:19So slow.
01:21So slow.
01:34So slow.
01:37So slow.
01:45The reckoning approaches.
01:48The gods are speaking.
01:51They guide the seer to choose amongst you.
01:53So slow.
01:57So slow.
02:10So slow.
02:12So slow.
02:26The seer has chosen.
02:36I don't know.
03:01We make the sacrifice to bring good fortune.
03:06Show us the moment is ripe for our voyage.
03:27Through the waves.
03:28Through the waves!
03:52Sail for battle.
03:55Beloved friends.
03:56Warriors.
03:58The time has come to save our people!
04:06We won't!
04:09We won't!
04:10The battle.
04:10The battle is still!
04:25Super battle is still.
04:43Lord, do you see something?
04:46No, something has changed.
04:51The air is rotten.
04:53That kid and me eating too much cabbage.
04:58Something feels wrong.
04:59I don't like it.
05:06Lord!
05:07Lord!
05:08This one says it can.
05:10Hey, sea-raiders, rob me!
05:12Let me guess.
05:13The great Ronvald has seized his silver.
05:16He wants to trade the border.
05:17He pays Marciato.
05:19Does that just still have to pay?
05:21In coin.
05:22No produce.
05:23And no tin from corn while I'm pretending to be coin.
05:27Iron Lord there.
05:29Yeah, soldiers to feed.
05:31Could be a lead winter.
05:32All the more reason to celebrate while we can.
05:36It's Blood Month Festival.
05:38I need elves.
05:39And you need to hump the tall girl from Frisia.
05:41The tall girl from Frisia's too tall.
05:43It's border country lords.
05:45Don't get to be too picky.
05:48I need a loan.
05:59I need to come back.
05:59Oh, son.

10:25This way.
10:25Who are they?
10:27Not from here.
10:29Are you hurt?
10:30No.
10:32You took three men?
10:33Alone?
10:34Yes.
10:36What did I say?
10:40I told you.
10:43Let me go down the river
10:44and fight the Sea Raiders.
10:46No, you're not ready.
10:49Take him to the airhouse,
10:50celebrate his victory.
10:52You got us worried there for a second, boy.
10:56Distance crack, come on.
11:00Tonight we dine in Runcoba.
11:01You're the one not ready.
11:11He's still a virgin, though.
11:17Yeah!
11:18Yeah!
11:19No!
11:20No!
11:22No!
11:29I don't know.
11:58I don't know.
12:25I don't know.
12:28I don't know.
12:48I don't know.
13:16I don't know.
13:49I don't know.
14:13I don't know.
14:16I don't know.
14:20I don't know.
14:23I don't know.
14:57I don't know.
14:59I don't know.
15:13I don't know.
15:27I don't know.
15:27I don't know.
15:28I don't know.
16:18I don't know.
16:27I don't know.
16:28I don't know.
16:29You guys, come on.
16:30Oh, oh.
16:33Oh, oh.
16:37It's Rommald.
16:38Come to slaughter her.
16:39We stop.
16:40But on set will the man.
16:42Rommald is nothing.
16:43Was that the coward who buys reputation?
16:45Trust us, we fought a lot of Danes.
17:15Are you mistaken? Is that Edith?
17:23We are travellers and traders, happy to pay the toll!
17:37Linda, look after your sister.
17:40Hey, hey, don't let the people come.
17:43Remember us, what?
17:45Yes!
17:46That little one is Hattleston.
17:49Surely not!
17:50Oh, you were a very solemn child.
17:52Yes, well, he beat it out of me.
17:54Kinlaf.
17:55Those are always up to no good.
17:59Sigaflet, who's married to Citric.
18:01Just got me Sig.
18:03And all the little citizen Citrics that populate this town.
18:07And this is Ingrith.
18:09Binan's wife.
18:10Edith.
18:11I have heard of you.
18:12Oh, what brings you to Rumkova?
18:15I have learned much in Frankia in the ways of healing.
18:18And I hear Rumkova is riddled with disease.
18:20Oh, that's...
18:21Oh, I suppose work.
18:23So, no was Binan?
18:24No.
18:25No.
18:25No, my silver's all my own.
18:26Hey, and watch yourself.
18:28Our turd's a baff of every healer from here to Freesia.
18:32You're telling me?
18:33Hey!
18:33Hey!
18:35Hey!
18:36Hey!
18:38Eat it!
18:39Tell me, what were they like before we civilized them?
18:42Much the same.
18:44This one less so perhaps.
18:45Is the king really happy with his son living among soldiers?
18:47We tend not to mention us.
18:49No shame in being a bastard, boy.
18:51No.
18:51Yes.
18:52Much has changed.
18:53No.
18:55Butch is still the same.
18:56What?
18:56He's not married either.
19:12I escort them to the lodging house.
19:15We do not get into any fights with any young monks.
19:19It's not my reputation and no wish to test.
19:22I'd trend you for battles, not for Eliar brawls.
19:25I know you seek to protect me. I know that, but you were sworn to protect a child. No, I'm
19:30not.
19:32Yet I made a promise to your father, the king, so only a king can relieve me of that doth.
19:37A bond holds fast, go.
19:45Pleasant surprise.
19:48Yes.
19:51I'm wary of surprises so close to Ethelfit's visit.
19:54Edith is a friend.
19:56People can change.
19:58The attack on Athelstan, I did not think it was a chance.
20:02Someone trying to get rid of him, now he's of age?
20:03Maybe it's just someone trying to frighten me.
20:05Are you frightened?
20:06Not what I expect to us.
20:10Lord, you're brooding.
20:12My wife thinks there's a change in the season again to you.
20:15We have scouts at every lookout point from here to the borough at Therva.
20:20Hey, home, the tall girl.
20:38has he finally revealed what he wants not yet he's still boasting of his escape from the sea
20:47he says the god sent men to save him he always has a tale to tell do you know he
20:52pays sailors
20:53to say they fear him better a lying rogue than a killer you're too tender send him on his way
21:00and break in oath of hospitality my love
21:11wake up you're in Valhalla
21:16Roland get him to bed
21:26time for sleep
21:32stop we do not want to see your ass
21:35she's cold your woman
21:41we should set to feasting alone talk as kin
21:46I have learned too much since last I saw you changed myself things have happened to me
21:57the gods chose to save me
22:03we are never divided at feasting
22:09we will feast you and I
22:13when you are sober
22:16we will feast
22:26why do you agree when he seeks to come between us
22:31Stiora
22:34what he suffered
22:35when I left him alone in the Irland
22:39you two would have a spirit broken
22:41he boasts because the gods have not favoured him
22:45that doesn't mean you shit
22:48he is my brother
22:49and so I honour him
22:51for all his faults our blood is shed
22:55like the Christians
22:56they have spoken too much of forgiveness
22:58I have a spirit
22:59I have a story
23:01so that is what he does
23:01I feel like the city
23:21and you are-
23:26Son of a sword.
23:36Because there are a lot of him.
24:07So, let's take a look at the sword.
24:09The sword.
24:09The sword.
24:10The sword.
24:35Oh, were you expecting a rather tall girl?
24:38Yes. She asked me to exchange rooms because this bed was too short.
24:42What, explain it? Yes.
25:16Keep at your right hand the souls of kings, Alfred, known as the Wise, and Ethelred of Mercia. Bless my
25:26daughter, Elfwyn of Mercia. May she learn to resist temptation.
25:33I pray for my brother, the King of Wessex. Guide him well and hear my entreaty on behalf of my
25:40mother, Ailswith, wife to Alfred.
25:42Why are you praying for me? What do you think is wrong with me?
25:45I do not think anything is wrong with you. I... Does it look white?
25:49No, Mother. It looks quite normal.
25:52This breeze will stiffen my neck. The Lord knows what ailments lack within Rumkova.
25:57Perhaps we should return to Ailsber.
26:00The Lord wants us in Rumkova for festival.
26:03Which Lord? Lord Uhtred.
26:07Do not fight her. It wastes your time.
26:11Something wrong with you?
26:12Mother, I'm just stiff from riding.
26:18Lord Aldhelm, Father Benedict, ready to bring the faith to this dark corner of our land?
26:26Where you lead, we follow, Lady.
26:36These people heading for Rumkova?
26:39Blood month is wild in these parts.
26:41Why Lady Ethelred wants to find a way to make him more Christian?
26:46Well, it falls near Martimus.
26:49Perhaps we could enlighten them.
26:53They would talk in Rome of these northern tribes that they could be resistant.
26:59It is a reputation deserved.
27:03Lady is fond of both you and of Rumkova.
27:06She will not place you somewhere you would not thrive.
27:30Human Lemonade must die.
27:31Which edge?
27:36The lady ethics is arriving.
27:40Human Iron Amore.
27:44Human Iron Amore.
27:48Human Iron Amore.
27:50Human Iron Amore.
27:52So that's your cousin?
27:54Yes.
27:55And how about Lady Elfwynn off her horse?
27:57Of course.
28:00Lady Elfwynn, I'm Kinlaf.
28:08I was sorry to miss you on our last visit, Sal.
28:11I was...
28:12You were making a treaty with the Scots, I know.
28:14Important.
28:15Yes, it was.
28:17Still, the timing was unfortunate.
28:22Not much has changed here in two summers.
28:25The soldiers thrive, so does the town.
28:27Occasional raids, much trade.
28:30And you look well.
28:32Is life in the open air?
28:35Perhaps I should try it.
28:36They wouldn't like to talk.
28:37You still look beautiful.
28:42Behold our gift.
28:46Runko does not need a priest.
28:48No, but Father Benedict needs a new place to preach.
28:51Did he help someone?
28:52No.
28:53No, nothing like that.
28:55He's an exceptionally gifted scholar.
28:57He's a gambler.
28:58He gambled all his arms money in Rome,
29:00then in Canterbury, then with us.
29:04So put him where he can do no damage.
29:09Welcome to our chapel.
29:16Ethel fled.
29:17Look how fine he has become.
29:20Is he not the image of his father?
29:23You have the light of prayer shining through you.
29:26And quite the swordsman now, I hear.
29:28Is it true you were attacked?
29:30By raiders, yes.
29:32I mean, sent to fight them on the seas.
29:35No, he's not.
29:38Lady Earthswift, how's your stomach?
29:40I survive.
29:42But still, I should like us to avoid too many commoners.
29:46For fear of passing them by many afflictions.
29:51Elfwyn.
29:59Lady Earthswift remains cautious in matters of health.
30:03Lady Earthswift.
30:04Lord Uhtred?
30:06Is the border secure?
30:09Yes.
30:10Athelstan was just thieves.
30:12Still we're concerned.
30:13We've heard of a raider plundering at sea at Ronvald.
30:16Ronvald is not a threat.
30:17He's a boastful threat.
30:19Ask his brother, Citrigar.
30:20We will not be seeking the word of Citrigar,
30:22not concerning Danes on the border.
30:24Why?
30:24The alliance is held.
30:25Richard, we know Citrigar is family to you,
30:27but that is not the mercy I have to trust in.
30:30It's Ronvald Harry's north of our coast.
30:32We fear he may strike with more deadly.
30:33Citrigar will not allow him to cause real trouble.
30:35He extracts coin no more.
30:36Tell that to the widows of the men that we've lost.
30:39Thirty of them off the coast of Cumberland.
30:40Men massacred, and not for silver,
30:42but to avenge the gods, they said.
30:44I have to be more wary of the Dane.
30:47Heathen, threat.
30:48I know many Danes live here and run cover in peace.
30:50Live in peace?
30:51Trade, marry our men.
30:52The Danes are no danger here.
30:53But this Dane is.
30:55Maybe we know things you do not.
30:57These past weeks there have been stories, mutilations,
31:00raiders seen with white marking on their faces.
31:02I do not think that is the work of Ronvald.
31:05They may speak it of him, but that does not make it true.
31:07Do we then?
31:23You okay?
31:41We have received no word of mourning from Rum Kofa.
31:44Yes.
31:45Did not quite work out.
31:46Has Ethel Stanley?
31:48He was a tough little bastard.
31:49Did you try?
31:52I lost two of my best men.
31:55Don't blame me.
31:57Blame Uhtred of Bebbanba.
32:00If you have the silver, I can try something else.
32:02I hear the lad could be provoked into a scrap in an alehouse.
32:08No.
32:09No, it's too soon.
32:11I'll call on you when I'm ready.
32:14In the meantime, find out what is said among the common people of my grandson, Elfwyd.
32:23No one speaks a move.
32:24Then spread his name for his protection.
32:28I've seen enough to know that when two boys have one claim, both cannot thrive.
32:42Where am I next?
32:43The Ambassadors from the Duchy of Lafaringia.
32:46Oh.
32:47I can make an excuse.
32:49You'll have to meet a visionary from Lois.
32:51She saw some cuthber in a cabbage patch.
32:54What?
32:55Ambassadors it is.
32:59She looks like she's hawking fishes in Cheop Street.
33:02Lord King.
33:04The Queen is playing matchmaker.
33:06She is keen as her sisters find husbands.
33:09It will do you honour, Lord King.
33:11Will you be introducing them to Elfwyd as the Aetheling?
33:14Then why would I do that?
33:16My grandson is coming of age.
33:18It would signal the broad that your dynasty is prepared.
33:20And alarm people by mooting the succession.
33:24No.
33:25I'm still a young man myself.
33:27Elfwyd.
33:29Introduce Lord Aethelhelm to the guests on my behalf.
33:31Explain he is a respected elder of the family.
33:35Yes, Father, of course.
33:36I'm sure they'll love your stories from the old days.
33:39Perhaps I should advise her on making suitable alliances.
33:43Indeed.
33:44Nothing worse than being landed with a spouse you come to detest.
33:58Welcome.
34:01Please.
34:05My darling boy.
34:08Did you suggest that Elfwyd be introduced as Aetheling?
34:12Yes.
34:13He refused.
34:14And the other aspect of our plan has become problematic.
34:20Aethel still fought back.
34:22Of course.
34:23Because they are training him to become a killer who will one day come for us.
34:26Calm yourself.
34:28All of Wessex, famous Elfwyd as Aetheling.
34:32That will sway things if there is any contention in the matter.
34:37For now, the king looks more to other women every day.
34:41I shall remove her.
34:44Like you removed Lady Elfwyd.
34:46Lady Elfwyd's strong constitution is a blessing to us all.
34:52My grandfather, Lord Aethelhelm.
35:03You have recovered.
35:06Indeed.
35:07And my regret, if I broke the conditions of my welcome.
35:11I am sworn from Aethel these days, but sometimes.
35:14What is it you want?
35:17Steal him.
35:18He only visits when he wants something.
35:20Make your demands and then leave us be.
35:21You are right.
35:23She sees everything.
35:26I seek safe harbor for some of my people.
35:29They have been accused of raiding, and I believe unfairly.
35:32I wish for them to prove their innocence here, under Danelon.
35:35And I have agreed.
35:39I will send out Volant with some guard to bring them in.
35:41Ensure they cost no trouble?
35:44As you, Command-Word.
35:48The Saxons always look for reasons to make incursions.
35:51This will show them that our borders must be respected.
35:53And that we govern here with justice under the law.
35:56Hmm.
35:57And remind the Christians you're not to be moved.
36:01And that we intend to rule here for many years to come.
36:18And that we are going to rule here for many years to come.
36:19And that we are going to rule here for many years to come.
36:20And that we are going to rule here for many years to come.
36:22And that we are going to rule here for many years to come.
36:22And that we are going to rule here for many years to come.
36:23And that we are going to rule here for many years to come.
36:24And that we are going to rule here for many years to come.
36:25And that we are going to rule here for many years to come.
36:25And that we are going to rule here for many years to come.
36:26And that we are going to rule here for many years to come.
36:28And that we are going to rule here for many years to come.
36:49Oh, my God.
37:03Oh, my lady.
37:21Why so troubled?
37:24We should stay in Elisberg.
37:26And Miss Blood Month Festival?
37:28Never.
37:28You did not come for the festival.
37:32What did you come for?
37:33What is here that is not there?
37:36Some say I came to see you.
37:40I wish that were true, but I think it is not.
37:45Is there a threat to you I should know?
37:47No more than the usual.
37:49You are certain?
37:50Yes.
37:51Besides, you have protected us well here.
37:54You have scouts on the bank's side and on every road.
37:56We would not lie about a threat to me or to Ramkova.
38:03Ready?
38:07He's not going to say prayers, is he?
38:08I just asked for a few simple words.
38:12And in this moment, Ramkova came unto God.
38:19It may be harder than that to douse the pagan flame.
38:23These pigs and these chickens, gods.
38:30Make sure he gives that back.
38:33We pray for fertility, the rising of sun, the waxing of the moon.
38:39Why did he choose the Lorica of Lodding?
38:42We shall catch our deaths in this draft.
38:44Just smile and wait for it to pass.
38:47Defend me on every side.
38:50Skull, head, hair, and eyes.
38:53Mouth, tongue, teeth, and their covering.
38:58Neck, breast, side.
39:01For the crown of my head with its hair,
39:03be thou the helmet of salvation on the head.
39:06The forehead, eyes, nostrils, bowels, waist,
39:16clothed hands.
39:18For my limbs, for my entrails,
39:21thou mayest thrust back from me the invisible nails of stakes.
39:28Eyes, trifle brain.
39:32Eyes, face, table, chin.
39:36Beard, eyebrows, ears, cheeks.
39:40Eighteen!
39:41Move!
39:43Get back!
39:44Who is it?
39:46Come on!
39:48Come on!
39:48Come on!
39:49Who is this?
39:50Come on!
39:51Come on!
39:52Get back!
39:53Come on!
39:59Come on!
40:00Come on!
40:03Come on!
40:08Who did this to you? Wrong, Val.
40:12Frida!
40:15Find her!
40:17Find her!
40:19Where's the line?
40:21No!
40:22I'm the son!
40:25I'm the son!
40:28The Lord Jesus Christ
40:30A rich man's house
40:32A fallen woman cried
40:45Why allow your people to be converted?
40:49Why not keep Daneland for Danes?
40:53Is it because of your wife?
40:57Since when have you cared so much for the gods?
41:00I told you
41:02Much has changed this last year
41:06I was close to death
41:08Not for the first time
41:10I am sorry that you suffered
41:11But this time
41:13I was reborn
41:15The gods sent men to my rescue
41:18They took to a land of fire
41:21And there
41:22I learned how to be loyal to them
41:26And to my people
41:31But you do not care for loyalty
41:35He blesses you
41:37And the Lord Jesus
41:40Have these missionaries sent back to Wessex tomorrow
41:42That's enough
41:49I
41:49But I
41:50I speak here every night
41:52You've always been allowed to preach here
42:08You are too accepting of enemies
42:11You are too accepting of enemies
42:12No I am not
42:13It is more difficult to live peacefully with enemies than to fight them
42:19Do you pity me?
42:23I think you suffer without my guidance
42:27Do you pity me?
42:36I think you suffer without my guidance
42:43I think it is
43:05Thank you
43:05Take it to me
43:15Seek Trigger
43:17Open the gates
43:46Are these your people?
43:52Not mine
43:54Hers
43:55All days
43:56All pure
44:02Do not be afraid, brother
44:03She sees us so fast
44:05Where are my men?
44:08Where are my men?
44:10Valhalla!
44:45Dames of Jorvik
44:46Return to Christ
44:48We are here to return you to the gods
44:53No!
45:05Let's go.
45:26Where is she?
45:29Find Stiora. Find Utrich's daughter.
45:42Brita!
45:44We're ready for you!
45:48Brita!
45:54Brita!
45:55Brita!
