1
00:00:00,328 --> 00:00:03,473
My name is Uhtred, son of Uhtred...
2
00:00:03,474 --> 00:00:06,691
born a Saxon, but raised as a Dane.
3
00:00:06,692 --> 00:00:10,287
I now serve King Alfred of Wessex.
4
00:00:10,289 --> 00:00:14,008
I have married a pious wife for Alfred.
5
00:00:14,010 --> 00:00:18,729
I have taken on land burdened
with debt and cheating workers.
6
00:00:19,915 --> 00:00:23,186
And I killed the mighty sword Dane, Ubba.
7
00:00:26,889 --> 00:00:30,274
But with Odda the elder
wounded in battle...
8
00:00:30,276 --> 00:00:33,594
his son took the credit for my kill.
9
00:00:33,596 --> 00:00:34,595
The truth was ignored...
10
00:00:34,597 --> 00:00:36,447
I fought Ubba
man-on-man
11
00:00:36,449 --> 00:00:37,881
and I killed him!
12
00:00:37,883 --> 00:00:42,169
And I was forced to my
knees before Alfred's God.
13
00:00:42,171 --> 00:00:45,122
I will lead, but you owe me.
14
00:00:45,124 --> 00:00:48,008
You must lay flat. Kiss the cross.
15
00:00:48,010 --> 00:00:50,094
Kiss my arse.
16
00:00:50,096 --> 00:00:53,637
Fate is testing me, but I will survive.
17
00:00:55,384 --> 00:00:57,000
Uhtred!
18
00:00:58,371 --> 00:00:59,898
Destiny is all.

21
00:01:42,697 --> 00:01:44,848
You certain you
want to do this, arseling?
22
00:01:44,850 --> 00:01:50,120
- Is there a law against it?
- Dressing up as Danes... no.
23
00:01:50,122 --> 00:01:52,790
Plundering Cornwalum... yes.
24
00:01:52,792 --> 00:01:54,775
We're supposed to be at peace.
25
00:01:54,777 --> 00:01:57,995
If I'm to reclaim
Bebbanburg, I'll need an army.
26
00:01:57,997 --> 00:02:00,414
If I'm ever to raise an
army, I'll need silver.
27
00:02:00,416 --> 00:02:01,682
We go.
28
00:02:01,684 --> 00:02:03,467
I have no quarrel.
29
00:02:03,469 --> 00:02:07,721
- Will Odda not miss you?
- I'm doing as he asks... I'm watching you.
30
00:02:08,923 --> 00:02:11,642
He's building Alfred a church at Cynuit.
31
00:02:11,644 --> 00:02:13,677
Have you heard?
32
00:02:13,679 --> 00:02:16,296
With an altar of gold, they say.
33
00:02:17,882 --> 00:02:20,617
- Who are they?
- They belong to Oswald.
34
00:02:20,619 --> 00:02:22,603
Their mother sends them,
35
00:02:22,605 --> 00:02:25,823
hoping to shame me for killing
their lying, thieving father.
36
00:02:29,211 --> 00:02:32,596
I see her plan is working.
37
00:02:32,598 --> 00:02:35,783
They're not the first to lose a parent.
38
00:02:35,785 --> 00:02:37,701
They'll live.
39
00:02:54,036 --> 00:02:56,270
The food is good, Mildrith.
40
00:02:56,272 --> 00:02:58,956
Thank you.
41
00:02:58,958 --> 00:03:00,624
I'm pleased you like it.
42
00:03:03,478 --> 00:03:07,030
I was beginning to believe
you'd lost your tongue, wife.
43
00:03:07,032 --> 00:03:08,549
I was worried.
44
00:03:08,551 --> 00:03:10,384
I doubt it.
45
00:03:10,386 --> 00:03:11,902
She grieves for the thief.
46
00:03:11,904 --> 00:03:13,504
Not my business.
47
00:03:13,506 --> 00:03:16,390
He kills a man I have known all my life,
48
00:03:16,392 --> 00:03:19,877
he refuses to pay Wergild to a
family I have known all my life,
49
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:21,895
and the village my father helped build
50
00:03:21,897 --> 00:03:24,448
now call him Uhtred the godless.
51
00:03:24,450 --> 00:03:27,801
Not forgetting I refused to
have my son baptized a Christian.
52
00:03:27,803 --> 00:03:29,236
I'll excuse myself.
53
00:03:29,238 --> 00:03:30,170
Leofric sit, please.
54
00:03:30,172 --> 00:03:31,188
None of this is my business.
55
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:32,190
I'll stop.
56
00:03:41,450 --> 00:03:43,917
Tomorrow I'll be gone.
57
00:03:44,838 --> 00:03:47,204
- Gone?
- Should anyone ask,
58
00:03:47,206 --> 00:03:49,923
we're keeping Alfred's
kingdom safe... again.
59
00:03:49,925 --> 00:03:51,775
For how long will you be gone?
60
00:03:51,777 --> 00:03:53,810
- And gone where?
- No idea how long.
61
00:03:53,812 --> 00:03:54,795
Weeks.
62
00:03:54,797 --> 00:03:56,496
Your place is here.
63
00:03:56,498 --> 00:03:58,632
Oswald's wife has gone to bishop Alewold.
64
00:03:58,634 --> 00:03:59,983
The bishop will go to Alfred
65
00:03:59,985 --> 00:04:01,101
and Alfred will send men to our door...
66
00:04:01,103 --> 00:04:02,402
I won't pay a penny,
67
00:04:02,404 --> 00:04:06,657
and if men do come calling,
that's what you'll tell them.
68
00:04:06,659 --> 00:04:10,911
He was killed because he was
a thief, that's my law!
69
00:04:10,913 --> 00:04:13,163
Leave me and I'll go directly to the church
70
00:04:13,165 --> 00:04:14,514
and have our son blessed.
71
00:04:14,516 --> 00:04:16,250
Then he won't be my son.
72
00:04:16,252 --> 00:04:19,519
May God forgive you
for saying such a thing.
73
00:04:19,521 --> 00:04:20,370
Which God?
74
00:04:20,372 --> 00:04:22,122
What has happened to you?
75
00:04:22,124 --> 00:04:23,622
What has happened to the kindness
76
00:04:23,623 --> 00:04:24,971
and perhaps even the love
77
00:04:24,972 --> 00:04:26,860
- you have once shown me.
- I was made to crawl!
78
00:04:26,861 --> 00:04:28,729
Yes! Before God!
79
00:04:28,731 --> 00:04:30,637
We all fall to our knees before God!
80
00:04:30,638 --> 00:04:33,517
I won't forget what Alfred did
to me in the name of his God!
81
00:04:33,519 --> 00:04:37,137
- I reject that God!
- I will excuse myself.
82
00:04:41,676 --> 00:04:44,144
Are you there still...
83
00:04:44,146 --> 00:04:48,382
- the man I cared for?
- Are you there still,
84
00:04:48,384 --> 00:04:51,802
the woman I ached to plough?
85
00:04:58,376 --> 00:05:02,095
Progress is being made daily, Lord.
86
00:05:02,097 --> 00:05:04,548
You must come to Cynuit and
inspect the building work.
87
00:05:04,550 --> 00:05:08,635
Oh, I will, I will. I would like that.
88
00:05:08,637 --> 00:05:12,055
It's impressive enough, even now.
89
00:05:12,057 --> 00:05:14,875
Yes.
90
00:05:14,877 --> 00:05:16,076
We have the nave here.
91
00:05:16,078 --> 00:05:17,244
Mm-hmm.
92
00:05:17,246 --> 00:05:19,947
The transept's thus, and
then into the chancel.
93
00:05:19,949 --> 00:05:24,051
With its already famous
altar of solid gold.
94
00:05:24,053 --> 00:05:26,503
It will be gilding, no more, Lord,
95
00:05:26,505 --> 00:05:27,854
but you know how tongues wag.
96
00:05:28,674 --> 00:05:30,390
Mm. With your permission,
97
00:05:30,392 --> 00:05:32,175
I would like to place the altar just here.
98
00:05:32,177 --> 00:05:34,404
- Why would you need my permission?
- It's on the exact spot
99
00:05:34,405 --> 00:05:36,430
where Ubba Lothbrokson is now buried.
100
00:05:36,432 --> 00:05:38,682
You wish God's altar to be built over
101
00:05:38,684 --> 00:05:41,735
- the buried remains of a pagan?
- Oh, no. No, Lord.
102
00:05:41,737 --> 00:05:43,704
With your permission, we
will exhume the remains
103
00:05:43,706 --> 00:05:45,706
and, I don't know, have
them thrown into the river.
104
00:05:46,291 --> 00:05:47,874
You will exhume the remains
105
00:05:47,876 --> 00:05:50,043
and have them buried elsewhere... unmarked,
106
00:05:50,045 --> 00:05:51,328
but with respect.
107
00:05:51,330 --> 00:05:52,896
'Twas a joke, Lord, a poor joke.
108
00:05:52,898 --> 00:05:55,582
We must do nothing to endanger the peace.
109
00:05:55,584 --> 00:05:58,201
With respect, Lord, I am
not the fool my father...
110
00:05:58,202 --> 00:06:00,644
...at times, made me out to be.
111
00:06:00,645 --> 00:06:03,356
- Father Beocca, you wish to see me?
- Ah, a letter, Lord,
112
00:06:03,357 --> 00:06:04,925
from the bishop Alewold.
113
00:06:04,927 --> 00:06:07,995
- Private or business?
- A matter of law, I was told.
114
00:06:07,997 --> 00:06:11,798
Then read it.
115
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,284
Well, can you not read the writing, Beocca?
116
00:06:14,286 --> 00:06:17,304
It concerns the ealdorman Uhtred.
117
00:06:17,306 --> 00:06:20,123
He has slain a farm worker and is refusing
118
00:06:20,125 --> 00:06:24,011
to pay the monies owed to
the family... the Wergild.
119
00:06:24,013 --> 00:06:27,060
Would you like me to investigate further,
120
00:06:27,061 --> 00:06:30,650
- Lord?
- No. No, 'tis not your place.
121
00:06:30,652 --> 00:06:33,103
Odda, you shall investigate
the rights and wrongs
122
00:06:33,105 --> 00:06:34,404
of the matter on my behalf.
123
00:06:34,406 --> 00:06:36,790
I only hope for the sake of Uhtred's wife,
124
00:06:36,792 --> 00:06:38,191
the killing was justified.
125
00:06:38,193 --> 00:06:40,627
Uhtred has always been fair-minded.
126
00:06:40,629 --> 00:06:42,929
I'm sure there are mitigations.
127
00:06:42,931 --> 00:06:45,932
Mm, we shall see.
128
00:06:45,934 --> 00:06:48,285
In the meantime, Odda, do your best.
129
00:06:48,287 --> 00:06:49,569
Keep the peace.
130
00:06:49,571 --> 00:06:51,004
Yes, Lord.
131
00:06:51,006 --> 00:06:54,908
I'll find the
wealth to pay off the debt.
132
00:06:54,910 --> 00:06:57,761
We want the same thing...
the land of our birth.
133
00:06:57,763 --> 00:06:59,563
Yours won't be taken from you.
134
00:07:00,150 --> 00:07:02,042
Mine?
135
00:07:02,751 --> 00:07:04,735
Are you no longer the ealdorman?
136
00:07:04,737 --> 00:07:09,256
I'll never be accepted as
an ealdorman... not here.
137
00:07:09,258 --> 00:07:11,374
Then I beg you for one last time...
138
00:07:11,376 --> 00:07:13,393
change your ways, Uhtred.
139
00:07:13,395 --> 00:07:18,415
If you allow God into your
heart, he will guide you.
140
00:07:18,417 --> 00:07:20,867
I can never become the
man you want me to be.
141
00:07:20,869 --> 00:07:22,202
You could try.
142
00:07:22,204 --> 00:07:24,321
I would despise that man.
143
00:07:24,323 --> 00:07:25,922
Arseling!
144
00:07:37,235 --> 00:07:39,886
I have loved you.
145
00:07:41,823 --> 00:07:43,740
Don't pray for me.
146
00:07:50,715 --> 00:07:55,535
- Did you hump her goodbye, arseling?
- I want to have left Wessex by tonight.
147
00:07:57,523 --> 00:08:01,041
You're gonna have to ride
faster than that, arseling.
148
00:08:01,043 --> 00:08:03,493
Come on! Yah! Aah!
149
00:08:35,977 --> 00:08:40,297
No one is to wear these till
we have crossed into Cornwalum.
150
00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:42,582
What you can do is Polish them.
151
00:08:42,584 --> 00:08:45,702
So that when we do wear them,
they'll be seen clearly...
152
00:08:46,973 --> 00:08:49,256
and you'll be feared.
153
00:08:49,258 --> 00:08:52,209
You're going to find out
what it's like to be a Dane.
154
00:08:52,211 --> 00:08:53,649
Every man stand where he is.
155
00:08:53,650 --> 00:08:55,862
No one move. You!
156
00:08:55,864 --> 00:08:58,465
Stay where you are.
157
00:08:58,467 --> 00:09:02,035
Do I know you?
158
00:09:02,037 --> 00:09:03,069
Lower your hood.
159
00:09:04,839 --> 00:09:06,356
I said lower your hood!
160
00:09:21,672 --> 00:09:23,256
Aethelwold.
161
00:09:23,258 --> 00:09:26,743
I...I-I merely want to come with you...
162
00:09:26,745 --> 00:09:28,762
to be part of your adventure.
163
00:09:29,965 --> 00:09:31,531
I wanted it to be a surprise.
164
00:09:32,718 --> 00:09:34,517
He cannot be here. He
cannot hold his tongue.
165
00:09:34,519 --> 00:09:36,469
I say we kill him.
166
00:09:36,471 --> 00:09:39,339
You can't kill me. I'm
the rightful King, you fool.
167
00:09:39,341 --> 00:09:40,974
Not here. Leofric, not in Wessex!
168
00:09:40,976 --> 00:09:43,393
- Then I will drag him into Cornwalum!
- Not now!
169
00:09:43,394 --> 00:09:46,043
No, you can't! Uhtred,
you owe me a favor.
170
00:09:46,044 --> 00:09:46,813
I call it in now.
171
00:09:46,815 --> 00:09:49,082
If Alfred hears of
Christians raiding Cornwalum,
172
00:09:49,084 --> 00:09:50,367
we will all be killed!
173
00:09:50,369 --> 00:09:53,653
- He guarantees that outcome!
- Leofric, I am a changed man.
174
00:09:53,655 --> 00:09:55,622
- I swear!
- We kill him.
175
00:09:55,624 --> 00:09:57,107
He will not be missed.
176
00:09:58,209 --> 00:09:59,893
We take him with us.
177
00:09:59,895 --> 00:10:01,962
I owe him.
178
00:10:01,964 --> 00:10:04,014
He's my responsibility.
179
00:10:08,102 --> 00:10:10,253
He has my protection.
180
00:10:10,255 --> 00:10:12,155
And who will protect the rest of us?
181
00:10:15,142 --> 00:10:17,694
I've never seen him so angry.
182
00:10:17,696 --> 00:10:19,896
You will clean our mail
and tend to the horses.
183
00:10:19,898 --> 00:10:21,348
Anything.
184
00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:23,533
You'll wipe our arses if I say so.
185
00:10:23,535 --> 00:10:25,135
Of course.
186
00:10:25,137 --> 00:10:28,455
I'm gathering the moss and
dock leaves as you speak, Lord.
187
00:10:47,921 --> 00:10:54,860
- What do you know of Cornwalum?
- That it's not Wessex.
188
00:10:54,862 --> 00:10:58,113
The Wessex-Cornwalum
border is this river...
189
00:10:58,115 --> 00:11:00,265
the Tamar river.
190
00:11:00,267 --> 00:11:02,033
Which is why we are camped here.
191
00:11:02,035 --> 00:11:04,820
It flows north to south,
192
00:11:04,822 --> 00:11:09,441
and Cornwalum itself has a
coastline shaped like a leg.
193
00:11:09,443 --> 00:11:12,694
- So they are traders?
- Yes, on the north coast
194
00:11:12,696 --> 00:11:14,513
to the welsh kingdoms and Ireland,
195
00:11:14,515 --> 00:11:17,799
and on the south to the Franks.
196
00:11:17,801 --> 00:11:22,354
- How do you know this?
- I'm an educated man, Leofric.
197
00:11:22,356 --> 00:11:24,656
I simply enjoy hiding the fact.
198
00:11:24,658 --> 00:11:27,125
You do it well.
199
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:32,063
- Do they have a King?
- More than one.
200
00:11:32,065 --> 00:11:37,319
- Fierce fighters?
- Have no fear, Leofric, we are Danes.
201
00:11:41,542 --> 00:11:47,045
- I want to be blooded... in battle.
- Don't worry, boy,
202
00:11:47,047 --> 00:11:49,548
you'll be first in line.
203
00:11:49,550 --> 00:11:52,968
I look forward to it.
204
00:12:08,034 --> 00:12:11,486
Good day, Lord.
205
00:12:11,488 --> 00:12:13,638
Tell your master ealdorman Odda is here
206
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,473
with God's bishop Alewold.
207
00:12:15,475 --> 00:12:16,858
Yes, Lord.
208
00:12:16,860 --> 00:12:18,627
Quickly.
209
00:12:23,116 --> 00:12:27,953
It's not the most desirable
farmstead I've seen.
210
00:12:30,740 --> 00:12:34,226
Ealdorman Odda, bishop Alewold...
211
00:12:34,228 --> 00:12:35,727
a pleasant surprise.
212
00:12:35,729 --> 00:12:40,599
- May I offer a refreshment?
- We are here on the King's business.
213
00:12:40,601 --> 00:12:43,101
'Tis with your husband.
214
00:12:43,103 --> 00:12:46,671
- Is he here?
- He is not.
215
00:12:46,673 --> 00:12:48,773
Can he be fetched, my dear?
216
00:12:55,147 --> 00:12:57,832
All crucifixes and crosses.
217
00:12:59,468 --> 00:13:02,320
You are God-fearing Christians no more.
218
00:13:05,275 --> 00:13:09,461
You don't cross yourself
nor look to the heavens.
219
00:13:11,248 --> 00:13:14,833
Let's make ourselves rich!
220
00:13:33,602 --> 00:13:35,820
My husband is
protecting our kingdom.
221
00:13:35,822 --> 00:13:38,707
From whom? We're at peace.
222
00:13:38,709 --> 00:13:41,142
He only said he was doing Alfred's work.
223
00:13:41,144 --> 00:13:42,694
He doesn't trust the Danes.
224
00:13:42,696 --> 00:13:45,163
He thinks he knows better than the King.
225
00:13:45,165 --> 00:13:47,415
Your own man, Leofric, will
give you detail, I'm sure.
226
00:13:47,417 --> 00:13:48,233
Yes.
227
00:13:48,235 --> 00:13:50,001
Odda,
228
00:13:50,003 --> 00:13:52,754
it's not the child's fault
that she was married off
229
00:13:52,756 --> 00:13:55,940
to a tyrant and a fool.
230
00:13:55,942 --> 00:13:57,976
No.
231
00:13:57,978 --> 00:14:01,329
Of course not.
232
00:14:01,331 --> 00:14:05,367
Mildrith, it is with great reluctance
233
00:14:05,369 --> 00:14:08,787
that I must serve you with this letter...
234
00:14:08,789 --> 00:14:11,906
for your husband upon his return.
235
00:14:11,908 --> 00:14:14,109
He must settle the
Wergild for Oswald's death
236
00:14:14,111 --> 00:14:16,094
or face confiscation of his property.
237
00:14:18,214 --> 00:14:21,966
Which is also my property.
238
00:14:21,968 --> 00:14:24,336
If you're ever in need,
239
00:14:24,338 --> 00:14:26,521
my father's house will
always be your house.
240
00:14:26,523 --> 00:14:31,429
- How is Lord Odda faring? Well, I hope.
- Frail.
241
00:14:31,430 --> 00:14:33,695
He's still very frail.
242
00:14:33,697 --> 00:14:35,847
The blow would have killed many a man.
243
00:14:37,483 --> 00:14:41,853
Take consolation, lady,
244
00:14:41,855 --> 00:14:45,173
that should your land be confiscated,
245
00:14:45,175 --> 00:14:48,026
it is the church that'll benefit.
246
00:14:56,936 --> 00:14:58,453
Aah!
247
00:15:00,891 --> 00:15:02,440
No, no, no! Please, get off me!
248
00:15:05,628 --> 00:15:08,346
Where's it buried? Where's the silver?
249
00:15:09,815 --> 00:15:14,035
- Where is it?
- These people have nothing.
250
00:15:14,037 --> 00:15:17,489
Please!
251
00:15:19,475 --> 00:15:22,060
Five days and nothing.
252
00:15:22,062 --> 00:15:23,661
There is time yet.
253
00:15:23,663 --> 00:15:27,048
We're not the first Danes they've seen.
254
00:15:27,050 --> 00:15:28,233
I need silver.
255
00:15:28,235 --> 00:15:29,734
So we keep looking.
256
00:15:29,736 --> 00:15:31,205
And what if the whole of Cornwalum's
257
00:15:31,206 --> 00:15:33,488
- been sacked already?
- We keep looking.
258
00:15:33,490 --> 00:15:35,707
We keep heading west.
259
00:16:00,979 --> 00:16:03,568
Do they want to speak?
260
00:16:06,222 --> 00:16:10,708
Five men to match theirs.
261
00:16:10,710 --> 00:16:13,361
And only I speak.
262
00:16:13,363 --> 00:16:16,881
- Aethelwold?
- I heard.
263
00:16:16,883 --> 00:16:19,834
Only the great Uhtred speaks.
264
00:16:36,969 --> 00:16:39,988
I am brother Asser.
265
00:16:39,990 --> 00:16:44,592
I bring you a gift from my King.
266
00:16:44,594 --> 00:16:48,746
From King Peredur.
267
00:16:48,748 --> 00:16:51,182
Never heard of him.
268
00:16:51,184 --> 00:16:54,369
I assure you my King has heard of you.
269
00:16:54,371 --> 00:16:57,155
A troop of Danes raiding
villages in Cornwalum
270
00:16:57,157 --> 00:16:59,357
does not go unnoticed.
271
00:16:59,359 --> 00:17:02,177
Why does your Peredur send
me these miserable offerings?
272
00:17:02,179 --> 00:17:04,996
A gesture of peace... a token.
273
00:17:04,998 --> 00:17:09,734
Our King has been attacked by
a fellow Briton and neighbor...
274
00:17:09,736 --> 00:17:12,604
Callyn... whose forces have seized the fort
275
00:17:12,606 --> 00:17:14,038
guarding our land.
276
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,674
I am sent to tell you
Peredur will pay you well
277
00:17:16,676 --> 00:17:19,360
to help him recapture this fort.
278
00:17:19,362 --> 00:17:20,718
Pay us well?
279
00:17:20,719 --> 00:17:23,514
- How much?
- I do not know the sum,
280
00:17:23,515 --> 00:17:25,783
but I am sure he will be generous.
281
00:17:25,785 --> 00:17:30,088
- He has silver?
- He is a King.
282
00:18:02,161 --> 00:18:03,679
Bup-bup-bup-bup-bup!
283
00:18:09,458 --> 00:18:12,003
Winchester, it is not.
284
00:18:12,955 --> 00:18:14,940
Alfred, he is not.
285
00:18:16,114 --> 00:18:20,195
- The King greets you.
- He does?
286
00:18:20,197 --> 00:18:21,363
I hear nothing.
287
00:18:21,365 --> 00:18:22,581
You are pagans.
288
00:18:22,583 --> 00:18:24,182
The King is Christian
289
00:18:24,184 --> 00:18:26,167
and will only speak with you through me.
290
00:18:26,169 --> 00:18:28,670
If you would come forward
and pay your respects...
291
00:18:33,876 --> 00:18:37,329
Please inform the King Danes
don't bow to Christians.
292
00:18:38,981 --> 00:18:40,649
This fort you want us to recapture...
293
00:18:40,651 --> 00:18:42,984
it's defended by how many Britons?
294
00:18:42,986 --> 00:18:45,020
And what price will you pay?
295
00:18:48,608 --> 00:18:51,576
It would be much simpler if
the King addressed me directly.
296
00:18:51,578 --> 00:18:55,247
Easy...
297
00:18:58,384 --> 00:19:02,137
they have between 40 and 50 men.
298
00:19:02,139 --> 00:19:05,607
No more than 50.
299
00:19:05,609 --> 00:19:08,843
We are 30... fighting men.
300
00:19:09,302 --> 00:19:11,120
And we are 20.
301
00:19:11,780 --> 00:19:16,134
- How much in silver?
- 100 pieces of silver.
302
00:19:16,136 --> 00:19:19,187
I won't bargain. I'll tell you the price.
303
00:19:19,189 --> 00:19:21,256
400 pieces of silver.
304
00:19:21,258 --> 00:19:24,169
- That is an absurd sum.
- Is Peredur a King or not?
305
00:19:27,407 --> 00:19:31,195
- I will call for queen Iseult.
- Lord, perhaps, instead,
306
00:19:31,196 --> 00:19:33,978
you should take a moment
and pray for guidance.
307
00:19:33,979 --> 00:19:36,180
Iseult!
308
00:19:36,181 --> 00:19:38,490
You are needed!
309
00:19:52,071 --> 00:19:57,742
I am blessed with two wives... two queens.
310
00:19:57,744 --> 00:20:00,362
Iseult is a shadow queen.
311
00:20:02,198 --> 00:20:05,483
You know what I require
of you. Of course you do.
312
00:20:28,641 --> 00:20:31,976
Who are you...
313
00:20:31,978 --> 00:20:35,697
and what will you do for the King?
314
00:20:38,034 --> 00:20:41,569
I am Uhtred Ragnarson.
315
00:20:41,571 --> 00:20:44,005
I'm here to fight for your King...
316
00:20:44,007 --> 00:20:47,025
if he pays me what I'm worth.
317
00:21:22,278 --> 00:21:24,429
He is the one.
318
00:21:39,095 --> 00:21:41,946
You are fortunate to have such a wife.
319
00:21:41,948 --> 00:21:45,166
She's not to hump.
320
00:21:45,168 --> 00:21:47,035
She's too valuable.
321
00:21:50,606 --> 00:21:53,591
400...
322
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,714
pieces of silver...
323
00:21:59,716 --> 00:22:01,166
Agreed.
324
00:22:01,168 --> 00:22:04,419
- I'll see it?
- You'll see it once the fort is taken.
325
00:22:04,421 --> 00:22:07,489
- No, I'll see it now.
- All of my wealth is hidden
326
00:22:07,490 --> 00:22:09,140
within the fort.
327
00:22:09,142 --> 00:22:10,608
Then your enemy has it.
328
00:22:10,610 --> 00:22:13,294
Well hidden.
329
00:22:13,296 --> 00:22:15,980
You have your price. You have my terms.
330
00:22:15,982 --> 00:22:18,566
I know you'll accept.
331
00:22:18,568 --> 00:22:21,686
I know you can smell the silver.
332
00:22:24,008 --> 00:22:26,474
Danes, mm?
333
00:22:26,476 --> 00:22:30,411
You have a nose for blood and silver...
334
00:22:30,413 --> 00:22:32,881
and women.
335
00:22:32,883 --> 00:22:36,367
And so I will add to the price,
336
00:22:36,369 --> 00:22:39,053
my queen...
337
00:22:39,055 --> 00:22:40,772
this queen.
338
00:22:46,362 --> 00:22:47,510
If we win back the fort
339
00:22:47,511 --> 00:22:49,460
and you're lying about
the silver, I'll kill u.
340
00:22:49,461 --> 00:22:52,767
Which is why I do not lie!
341
00:22:55,821 --> 00:22:58,940
Call the men up. We stay here.
342
00:23:02,194 --> 00:23:06,047
I'll dream about that shadow queen.
343
00:23:06,049 --> 00:23:09,767
You told her your name, and word travels.
344
00:23:09,769 --> 00:23:12,123
Uhtred Ragnarson!
345
00:23:14,541 --> 00:23:18,159
I noticed that you have some
Saxons amongst your ranks.
346
00:23:18,161 --> 00:23:19,394
Some from Mercia.
347
00:23:19,396 --> 00:23:21,012
They'd rather fight
than work in the fields.
348
00:23:21,014 --> 00:23:22,380
The pay is better.
349
00:23:22,382 --> 00:23:24,549
He would like to attack at
the earliest opportunity...
350
00:23:24,551 --> 00:23:27,135
does not wish to feed you
for more than one night.
351
00:23:27,137 --> 00:23:28,820
How Christian of him.
352
00:23:28,822 --> 00:23:32,473
He would like to be a man of God, but,
353
00:23:32,475 --> 00:23:36,294
as you have witnessed, he
cannot let go of his pagan ways.
354
00:23:36,296 --> 00:23:38,780
The queen Iseult.
355
00:23:38,782 --> 00:23:43,334
Mm, she's a gwrach. A sorceress.
356
00:23:43,336 --> 00:23:47,669
- What are her powers?
- Peredur believes
357
00:23:47,670 --> 00:23:50,508
she can see into the future...
358
00:23:50,510 --> 00:23:52,860
for as long as she remains a virgin.
359
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,965
Tell the King to have his men ready.
360
00:24:03,790 --> 00:24:08,576
Peredur, any in the fort who
try to escape are yours, yes?
361
00:24:08,578 --> 00:24:14,182
You will do your part,
Dane. I will do mine.
362
00:24:15,112 --> 00:24:17,385
Walk on! Advance!
363
00:24:19,506 --> 00:24:22,824
Let's scare the shit
out of the bastard Britons...
364
00:24:22,826 --> 00:24:25,076
see if they have the stomach for this.
365
00:24:32,601 --> 00:24:36,404
Hold.
366
00:24:36,406 --> 00:24:38,823
We hold here.
367
00:24:44,786 --> 00:24:46,106
Why would they leave a fortress
368
00:24:46,107 --> 00:24:50,957
- to face us?
- Aethelwold, advance.
369
00:24:53,340 --> 00:24:55,256
Go on the Ridge and see
why they are prepared
370
00:24:55,258 --> 00:24:56,190
to leave the fortress.
371
00:24:56,192 --> 00:25:00,611
- On my own?
- You wanted to be first in line.
372
00:25:23,953 --> 00:25:25,486
Yah.
373
00:25:35,789 --> 00:25:39,353
- What do you see?!
- They are Danes!
374
00:25:39,436 --> 00:25:42,353
Real Danes!
375
00:25:44,474 --> 00:25:47,291
Stand still! Hold!
376
00:25:50,804 --> 00:25:53,252
- What are you waiting for?
- They're Danes!
377
00:25:53,253 --> 00:25:54,640
What do you care?
378
00:25:54,942 --> 00:25:56,885
You people will fight anyone for money...
379
00:25:56,886 --> 00:25:59,461
- even yourselves!
- You lied to me.
380
00:25:59,463 --> 00:26:01,363
Think of the silver!
381
00:26:01,365 --> 00:26:04,249
The queen has seen your victory, so fight!
382
00:26:04,251 --> 00:26:05,467
Uhtred.
383
00:26:09,489 --> 00:26:12,140
He's a sword-Dane...
384
00:26:12,142 --> 00:26:13,475
a Lord of war.
385
00:26:13,477 --> 00:26:16,561
If the Lord
of war wants to talk,
386
00:26:16,563 --> 00:26:18,847
may I suggest we listen?
387
00:26:47,243 --> 00:26:49,795
Name yourself.
388
00:26:49,797 --> 00:26:53,682
I am Uhtred Ragnarson.
389
00:26:53,684 --> 00:26:57,469
- Who are you?
- Skorpa...
390
00:26:57,471 --> 00:27:00,789
of the white horse.
391
00:27:00,791 --> 00:27:02,194
You are the Uhtred Ragnarson
392
00:27:02,195 --> 00:27:06,468
- who was at Cynuit?
- I am.
393
00:27:06,897 --> 00:27:11,804
- The Saxon son of Earl Ragnar.
- Yes.
394
00:27:12,669 --> 00:27:17,489
You will not defeat me. You know this.
395
00:27:17,491 --> 00:27:18,722
Perhaps not,
396
00:27:18,723 --> 00:27:23,395
- but I could kill half your men trying.
- Yes.
397
00:27:23,397 --> 00:27:26,465
Yes, you could.
398
00:27:26,467 --> 00:27:31,653
Then it would be best for
us both if you did not try.
399
00:27:31,655 --> 00:27:34,005
Lord.
400
00:27:34,007 --> 00:27:36,858
Lord, I fear what will happen
if they're allowed to speak.
401
00:27:36,860 --> 00:27:40,445
Then go to them. Listen
to what they're saying.
402
00:27:40,447 --> 00:27:43,632
My presence, Lord, will serve
only to antagonize the Dane.
403
00:27:43,634 --> 00:27:48,086
Uhtred Ragnarson!
What is happening here?!
404
00:27:48,088 --> 00:27:51,239
They must leave my kingdom or die!
405
00:27:51,241 --> 00:27:54,059
Bastard Danes.
406
00:27:54,061 --> 00:27:55,861
The queen saw victory.
407
00:27:55,863 --> 00:27:58,513
I pray, Lord.
408
00:27:58,515 --> 00:28:01,900
- What is your battle price?
- Silver...
409
00:28:01,902 --> 00:28:04,352
and he says it's hidden in the fortress.
410
00:28:09,058 --> 00:28:11,560
No.
411
00:28:11,562 --> 00:28:14,513
No, we have ripped the fortress apart.
412
00:28:14,515 --> 00:28:15,997
We found nothing.
413
00:28:16,789 --> 00:28:19,885
He must have something... somewhere.
414
00:28:19,887 --> 00:28:26,874
- Uhtred Ragnarson!
- Whatever he has, I say we split.
415
00:28:27,027 --> 00:28:30,011
Half and half.
416
00:28:30,013 --> 00:28:34,166
We kill his men, we spare the King,
417
00:28:34,168 --> 00:28:37,586
he takes us to his wealth.
418
00:28:40,206 --> 00:28:42,107
Half and half?
419
00:28:45,328 --> 00:28:48,446
I will advance,
420
00:28:48,448 --> 00:28:51,399
you will turn,
421
00:28:51,401 --> 00:28:54,152
and we will attack together.
422
00:28:56,239 --> 00:28:59,758
Now, this is for the benefit of the King.
423
00:29:01,894 --> 00:29:05,864
- You bastard piece of rassragr!
- I'll destroy you!
424
00:29:06,866 --> 00:29:10,218
Be ready. We kill them all!
425
00:29:10,220 --> 00:29:12,737
Every last one of them dies!
426
00:29:12,739 --> 00:29:16,858
Tell the men we're with the Danes.
427
00:29:19,980 --> 00:29:21,413
At the ready!
428
00:29:22,765 --> 00:29:26,418
- You trust this Skorpa?
- We have no choice but to trust him.
429
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,532
Now! Turn!
430
00:30:03,339 --> 00:30:05,323
To the death!
431
00:30:05,325 --> 00:30:07,527
You bastard Danes!
432
00:30:07,528 --> 00:30:12,497
You'll cry for your stinking whore mothers!
433
00:31:04,350 --> 00:31:05,517
Aaaaah!
434
00:31:28,774 --> 00:31:29,774
Aaaaah!
435
00:31:45,041 --> 00:31:49,094
You lying, thieving, bastard Danes!
436
00:31:49,096 --> 00:31:51,346
I could kill at least one more of you! Aah!
437
00:31:51,348 --> 00:31:56,568
T...
438
00:31:56,570 --> 00:31:58,253
It is over.
439
00:32:00,089 --> 00:32:02,307
Your wealth.
440
00:32:02,309 --> 00:32:05,927
- My wealth for my life, is it?
- Your wealth and your shadow queen.
441
00:32:05,929 --> 00:32:08,413
Useless bitch.
442
00:32:08,415 --> 00:32:10,248
She saw victory.
443
00:32:10,250 --> 00:32:13,635
- Where's the silver?
- If I tell you, you'll kill me,
444
00:32:13,637 --> 00:32:15,553
and I would rather you remain poor.
445
00:32:15,555 --> 00:32:19,174
You have my word as a warlord...
446
00:32:19,176 --> 00:32:21,626
you will be spared.
447
00:32:21,628 --> 00:32:24,746
Where is the silver?
448
00:32:26,916 --> 00:32:30,635
Speak or you will die.
449
00:32:30,637 --> 00:32:33,721
It is buried...
450
00:32:33,723 --> 00:32:36,875
in the hall... beneath my throne.
451
00:32:36,877 --> 00:32:39,260
I need a small amount mys...
452
00:32:57,997 --> 00:33:01,123
- Do we split her, too?
- You have the tits,
453
00:33:01,124 --> 00:33:02,967
- I'll have the arse.
- She's mine.
454
00:33:02,969 --> 00:33:06,654
You are here for the silver.
455
00:33:06,656 --> 00:33:08,640
It is beneath this seat.
456
00:33:25,541 --> 00:33:29,994
I have a question.
457
00:33:29,996 --> 00:33:35,444
- Have you been waiting for us?
- For you.
458
00:33:37,001 --> 00:33:41,565
- Then you saw what would happen?
- I knew that you would come.
459
00:33:42,876 --> 00:33:45,944
That is all.
460
00:33:45,946 --> 00:33:49,914
Uhtred, what do you know of
a church with a golden altar?
461
00:33:51,161 --> 00:33:52,553
At Cynuit...
462
00:33:53,488 --> 00:33:56,300
to celebrate the killing of Ubba.
463
00:33:57,023 --> 00:33:59,157
I hear they're building a church.
464
00:33:59,159 --> 00:34:04,435
- Who's been telling you this?
- Men... begging to live.
465
00:34:05,282 --> 00:34:06,714
Would say anything.
466
00:34:06,716 --> 00:34:12,687
- And that's where you'll go... to Cynuit?
- Well, I have ships to repair.
467
00:34:12,689 --> 00:34:15,373
The coastline here has been murderous.
468
00:34:28,921 --> 00:34:30,455
How do we do this?
469
00:34:30,457 --> 00:34:34,603
- How do we share?
- We don't...
470
00:34:36,079 --> 00:34:39,480
share.
471
00:34:39,482 --> 00:34:42,083
Oh, we can fight...
472
00:34:42,085 --> 00:34:44,068
and some of us will die,
473
00:34:44,070 --> 00:34:47,455
including your queen.
474
00:35:06,976 --> 00:35:09,460
Uhtred Ragnarson,
475
00:35:09,462 --> 00:35:11,679
keep your sword in its scabbard.
476
00:35:11,681 --> 00:35:13,181
Wise queen.
477
00:35:13,183 --> 00:35:14,749
She stays with me.
478
00:35:18,794 --> 00:35:21,406
- She stays with me!
- Do nothing!
479
00:35:35,771 --> 00:35:38,651
- Uhtred, no! Uhtred!
- They have our treasure!
480
00:35:38,652 --> 00:35:41,159
No! I will not fight
these Danes for silver.
481
00:35:41,161 --> 00:35:43,111
For King, yes, but not for silver.
482
00:35:43,112 --> 00:35:45,072
I am tethered by debts,
I need to raise an army,
483
00:35:45,073 --> 00:35:46,750
and they get away
further with every second.
484
00:35:46,751 --> 00:35:49,048
I will not allow half
these men or more to die.
485
00:35:49,049 --> 00:35:51,703
I can give you what you need.
486
00:35:51,705 --> 00:35:54,339
There's more...
487
00:35:54,341 --> 00:35:56,824
silver.
488
00:36:12,826 --> 00:36:14,325
What did he whisper?
489
00:36:14,327 --> 00:36:18,963
Skorpa, when he was leaving.
490
00:36:18,965 --> 00:36:21,866
I will tell you when I
believe you need to know.
491
00:36:28,807 --> 00:36:31,576
How was I...
492
00:36:31,578 --> 00:36:36,031
- as a warrior?
- Aethelwold,
493
00:36:36,781 --> 00:36:39,867
you're as much a warrior as you are a King.
494
00:36:59,838 --> 00:37:02,924
This isn't part of the plunder.
495
00:37:02,926 --> 00:37:05,543
It's a holy cross. It
goes back to the church.
496
00:37:05,545 --> 00:37:07,745
There'll be blessings.
497
00:37:07,747 --> 00:37:10,064
But the rest...
498
00:37:11,618 --> 00:37:18,523
it's all ours.
499
00:37:18,525 --> 00:37:21,359
- Home?
- Wessex...
500
00:37:21,361 --> 00:37:26,083
and our separate ways.
There's a bishop I must see.
501
00:38:06,322 --> 00:38:09,941
I've never seen a
village like this before.
502
00:38:09,943 --> 00:38:14,112
We will be here for just the day.
503
00:38:18,217 --> 00:38:21,286
- Who are you?
- I'll speak with the bishop Alewold.
504
00:38:21,288 --> 00:38:24,272
- Bishop Alewold is at prayer.
- He'll see me.
505
00:38:24,274 --> 00:38:28,109
- He is at prayer and won't be disturbed.
- Alewold! Bishop Alewold.
506
00:38:28,111 --> 00:38:32,864
What is this? Get out! Out!
507
00:38:32,866 --> 00:38:37,218
- We-we-we're busy with our work.
- So I see.
508
00:38:37,220 --> 00:38:41,723
I said get out!
509
00:38:41,725 --> 00:38:44,325
I know you.
510
00:38:44,327 --> 00:38:48,696
- Uhtred.
- The godless... yes.
511
00:38:48,698 --> 00:38:50,865
And my wife, through her father,
512
00:38:50,867 --> 00:38:52,917
has inherited a debt to the church.
513
00:38:52,919 --> 00:38:58,203
- Oh, yes... a substantial debt, I recall.
- Which I would now discharge.
514
00:38:58,204 --> 00:39:00,258
You would? Very well.
515
00:39:00,260 --> 00:39:02,777
As you see, we're busy with...
516
00:39:08,285 --> 00:39:11,436
That's Irish work.
517
00:39:11,438 --> 00:39:17,058
It looks Irish, and its weight.
518
00:39:17,060 --> 00:39:20,345
A thing of beauty and of great value.
519
00:39:20,347 --> 00:39:22,931
It seemed a fitting way
of settling the debt...
520
00:39:22,933 --> 00:39:24,024
if you'll accept. Of course,
521
00:39:24,025 --> 00:39:26,651
if not, I'll put it in the Smith's fire.
522
00:39:26,653 --> 00:39:29,771
I accept on behalf of the church.
523
00:39:29,773 --> 00:39:32,123
I accept.
524
00:39:32,125 --> 00:39:37,412
I trust I can rely upon your good judgment
525
00:39:37,414 --> 00:39:42,383
in dismissing the matter of
my servant Oswald's Wergild.
526
00:39:42,385 --> 00:39:44,152
He was a thief.
527
00:39:44,154 --> 00:39:47,105
Consider all matters resolved.
528
00:39:47,107 --> 00:39:49,057
Bless you.
529
00:40:29,798 --> 00:40:32,483
I've been praying daily
for your safe return.
530
00:40:42,244 --> 00:40:46,166
- Who's this?
- She's a queen.
531
00:40:47,696 --> 00:40:52,870
- Queen of where? Of whom?
- Britons.
532
00:41:01,814 --> 00:41:05,817
Uhtred, you walked by
your son without a look.
533
00:41:07,953 --> 00:41:11,739
- Is he baptized now?
- Yes.
534
00:41:11,741 --> 00:41:13,574
Against my wishes.
535
00:41:13,576 --> 00:41:19,030
I have done nothing that
requires forgiveness.
536
00:41:19,032 --> 00:41:21,332
- What's her name?
- I am called Iseult.
537
00:41:21,334 --> 00:41:23,551
I'm speaking with my husband.
538
00:41:23,553 --> 00:41:25,486
You can kindly remain silent.
539
00:41:25,488 --> 00:41:27,939
Mildrith, we are hungry,
thirsty, and in need of rest.
540
00:41:27,941 --> 00:41:31,259
I am not your servant!
541
00:41:31,261 --> 00:41:32,986
Do not speak to me as if I were!
542
00:41:32,987 --> 00:41:34,512
I am your wife!
543
00:41:34,514 --> 00:41:37,365
You are no longer a part of Uhtred's path.
544
00:41:38,715 --> 00:41:40,685
It is true.
545
00:41:42,938 --> 00:41:44,572
Out.
546
00:41:44,574 --> 00:41:45,690
Out!
547
00:41:45,692 --> 00:41:48,893
This "queen" can sleep with the animals!
548
00:41:53,232 --> 00:41:56,000
You should know that your land is safe.
549
00:41:56,002 --> 00:41:58,953
I have seen bishop Alewold.
The debt's settled... all of it.
550
00:41:58,955 --> 00:42:01,472
That's what I've come to tell you.
551
00:42:01,474 --> 00:42:04,225
Nothing more.
552
00:42:04,227 --> 00:42:07,912
- And what of Oswald's Wergild?
- That, too, is settled.
553
00:42:07,914 --> 00:42:10,298
His family won't receive a penny.
554
00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:13,351
Then you can explain that
to the King's council.
555
00:42:13,353 --> 00:42:15,353
Alfred has called you to the Witan.
556
00:42:17,573 --> 00:42:21,726
It's finished.
557
00:42:21,728 --> 00:42:24,946
Everything.
558
00:42:26,532 --> 00:42:30,485
Before I left, I said
that I've loved you...
559
00:42:30,487 --> 00:42:32,053
and it's true.
560
00:42:32,055 --> 00:42:34,939
You will not speak of us in this way...
561
00:42:34,941 --> 00:42:40,531
- and in the presence of a pagan whore!
- She's with me.
562
00:42:43,665 --> 00:42:46,350
Will you be resting with your family
563
00:42:46,352 --> 00:42:48,853
or with the animals?
564
00:42:54,476 --> 00:42:56,277
You chose the company of pigs and a goat
565
00:42:56,279 --> 00:42:58,346
over your wife and son?
566
00:43:04,286 --> 00:43:07,789
My wife's a good woman.
567
00:43:07,791 --> 00:43:09,791
She loves her God and it's hard for her
568
00:43:09,793 --> 00:43:11,926
to be with the like of me.
569
00:43:15,465 --> 00:43:17,131
And if the marriage is to be ended,
570
00:43:17,133 --> 00:43:20,968
I must become used to life without my son.
571
00:43:24,740 --> 00:43:27,024
I'm here because I choose you.
572
00:43:30,579 --> 00:43:33,114
Though I won't keep you against your will.
573
00:43:40,913 --> 00:43:42,590
What?
574
00:43:48,547 --> 00:43:51,799
I will be with you, Uhtred,
575
00:43:51,801 --> 00:43:55,603
from now until the very end.
576
00:43:55,605 --> 00:44:00,124
That is what I see.
577
00:44:06,181 --> 00:44:10,751
I want you to see my
home... my land in the north.
578
00:44:12,671 --> 00:44:17,091
It is this Alfred who directs you, for now.
579
00:44:17,093 --> 00:44:20,895
You must give in to fate.
580
00:44:20,897 --> 00:44:22,830
Attend his Witan.
581
00:44:26,852 --> 00:44:30,071
Will you sleep alongside
me tonight, under the furs?
582
00:44:32,074 --> 00:44:35,035
- Sleep?
- Nothing more.
583
00:44:37,419 --> 00:44:39,430
I would like that...
584
00:44:42,951 --> 00:44:45,903
as the only other source
of warmth would be a goat.
585
00:45:00,152 --> 00:45:05,489
Edwina.
586
00:45:05,989 --> 00:45:07,842
Lady?
587
00:45:07,844 --> 00:45:11,412
Please inform your family
that I will be travelling...
588
00:45:11,414 --> 00:45:15,116
with the child.
589
00:45:15,118 --> 00:45:20,271
We will leave for Lord Odda's estate.
590
00:45:20,273 --> 00:45:23,791
I would like you with me,
but it is your decision.
591
00:45:23,793 --> 00:45:25,309
I know how important it is
592
00:45:25,311 --> 00:45:27,812
to be amongst the people who care for you.
593
00:45:31,450 --> 00:45:34,118
I would not wish to leave you.
594
00:45:48,467 --> 00:45:52,169
The very day I am told
that my home is my own...
595
00:45:52,171 --> 00:45:55,489
is the day I decide I must leave.
596
00:46:24,061 --> 00:46:29,032
Oh Lord, grant wisdom to
your servants gathered here.
597
00:46:29,034 --> 00:46:32,018
Help them to decide what is right,
598
00:46:32,020 --> 00:46:34,904
what is just, and what is fair.
599
00:46:35,206 --> 00:46:40,276
- Grant us this, oh, Lord.
- Grant us, oh, Lord.
600
00:46:48,485 --> 00:46:51,204
Leave your sword.
601
00:46:52,841 --> 00:46:55,525
Uhtred.
602
00:46:55,527 --> 00:46:56,793
Uhtred!
603
00:46:56,795 --> 00:46:59,946
- Beocca.
- Quickly. You're late.
604
00:46:59,948 --> 00:47:01,664
You were sent for days ago.
605
00:47:01,666 --> 00:47:03,716
You should have been here on time.
606
00:47:03,718 --> 00:47:06,319
Since when has my
presence been so important?
607
00:47:06,321 --> 00:47:08,705
- Who is she?
- She's with me.
608
00:47:08,707 --> 00:47:11,124
Is she part of your plunder?
609
00:47:11,126 --> 00:47:15,545
- What's been said?
- You will hear it all soon enough.
610
00:47:15,547 --> 00:47:16,813
Now, we must go,
611
00:47:16,815 --> 00:47:20,133
and you must be respectful...
now more than ever.
612
00:47:24,972 --> 00:47:27,323
And as local Thegns skimp
613
00:47:27,325 --> 00:47:29,559
in their duty to repair the Bridges,
614
00:47:29,561 --> 00:47:34,530
I wish to ask of the King
to appoint an official
615
00:47:34,532 --> 00:47:37,350
to survey the kingdom's roads.
616
00:47:37,352 --> 00:47:40,320
- The bridge on the road...
- What reason do I have to beg for mercy?
617
00:47:40,321 --> 00:47:41,919
- What's been said?
- Quiet now.
618
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:43,852
- Is it Cornwalum?
- Respect.
619
00:47:43,853 --> 00:47:47,343
- ...remains disinterested.
- We shall talk of Bridges later.
620
00:47:49,029 --> 00:47:52,177
- Beocca, what is this?
- You will be quiet, there!
621
00:47:52,619 --> 00:47:56,369
- Face your King!
- Come.
622
00:47:56,371 --> 00:47:59,555
There is a, um, an urgent matter, which,
623
00:47:59,557 --> 00:48:03,209
with the Witan's permission,
we shall deal with now.
624
00:48:16,056 --> 00:48:20,143
Ealdorman Uhtred...
also known in your parish
625
00:48:20,145 --> 00:48:22,462
as Uhtred the godless...
626
00:48:22,464 --> 00:48:26,349
You are on this day
charged with taking a troop
627
00:48:26,351 --> 00:48:29,702
of the King's men into Cornwalum and there
628
00:48:29,704 --> 00:48:33,189
making war against the Britons
without your King's consent.
629
00:48:33,191 --> 00:48:36,709
You are also charged with joining forces
630
00:48:36,711 --> 00:48:39,262
with the Dane called skorpa,
631
00:48:39,264 --> 00:48:43,316
to murder Christian-folk in Cornwalum,
632
00:48:43,318 --> 00:48:46,436
despite these folk all living in peace
633
00:48:46,438 --> 00:48:49,956
with Alfred and with Wessex.
634
00:48:49,958 --> 00:48:52,158
All this is proven with oaths,
635
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,528
and the punishment for
these crimes is death.
636
00:48:57,047 --> 00:49:00,416
- Who swears these oaths?
- We shall get to that.
637
00:49:00,418 --> 00:49:01,083
Show me.
638
00:49:01,085 --> 00:49:04,552
- Who swears?
- I, brother Asser,
639
00:49:04,553 --> 00:49:06,355
swear these oaths.
640
00:49:06,357 --> 00:49:09,006
- Uhtred, to your knees.
- Never.
641
00:49:09,007 --> 00:49:10,777
Lord, we were patrolling your borders
642
00:49:10,779 --> 00:49:12,328
and protecting your kingdom, nothing more.
643
00:49:12,330 --> 00:49:16,270
- There is more to my story, Lord, if I may.
- Now is the time to beg.
644
00:49:16,271 --> 00:49:17,217
Yes, let him speak.
645
00:49:17,219 --> 00:49:18,563
Let's hear his story.
646
00:49:18,564 --> 00:49:23,123
On my way to make this
complaint to King Alfred,
647
00:49:23,125 --> 00:49:25,141
I came via Cynuit...
648
00:49:25,143 --> 00:49:29,796
and such a sight I hope never to see again.
649
00:49:29,798 --> 00:49:32,282
For, where the church to commemorate
650
00:49:32,284 --> 00:49:35,502
Lord Odda's victory over
Ubba was to be built,
651
00:49:35,504 --> 00:49:39,422
I saw devastation, destruction,
652
00:49:39,424 --> 00:49:43,843
and the charred remains
of 15 monks or more.
653
00:49:43,845 --> 00:49:46,463
Men have told me that this evil
654
00:49:46,465 --> 00:49:51,518
was the work of the very same
skorpa who was in Cornwalum,
655
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:55,555
and that with him, once more,
was the ealdorman Uhtred.
656
00:49:55,557 --> 00:49:58,191
- This man!
- No! No, these are lies. Lord, Lord,
657
00:49:58,193 --> 00:49:59,576
He lies with every breath.
658
00:49:59,578 --> 00:50:00,918
Lord, hear me. Let me speak,
659
00:50:00,919 --> 00:50:03,863
- and hear the truth.
- We are the Witan...
660
00:50:03,865 --> 00:50:06,716
and we shall behave in the way of a Witan.
661
00:50:09,370 --> 00:50:12,422
The ealdorman is entitled to respond!
662
00:50:12,424 --> 00:50:16,142
Yes, I was at Cynuit.
I was at Cynuit once...
663
00:50:16,144 --> 00:50:17,577
and once only.
664
00:50:17,579 --> 00:50:20,730
I was at Cynuit on the day that I,
665
00:50:20,732 --> 00:50:25,235
Uhtred of Bebbanburg, killed Ubba.
666
00:50:25,237 --> 00:50:28,855
I look around this hall and into the eyes
667
00:50:28,857 --> 00:50:32,709
of the warriors who know this to be true...
668
00:50:32,711 --> 00:50:36,196
and that is the only
occasion I was at Cynuit.
669
00:50:36,198 --> 00:50:39,449
We are here...
670
00:50:39,451 --> 00:50:42,869
we are here to deliver judgment
on the murder of King Peredur
671
00:50:42,871 --> 00:50:46,156
- and the Christian Britons of Cornwalum.
- Then if I can speak of Cornwalum, Lord.
672
00:50:46,157 --> 00:50:48,655
- There is a further witness, I believe.
- What if Peredur's queen
673
00:50:48,656 --> 00:50:50,028
was to stand in front of this Witan
674
00:50:50,029 --> 00:50:52,807
and tell you that Peredur
lied and cheated us?
675
00:50:52,808 --> 00:50:54,807
She is a shadow queen and a pagan, Lord.
676
00:50:54,808 --> 00:50:57,459
- Her words would be meaningless.
- Is the truth not important, Lord?
677
00:50:57,460 --> 00:50:59,229
- Lord!
- Odda, we shall move on.
678
00:50:59,230 --> 00:51:01,013
- There is a further witness.
- Yes, Lord.
679
00:51:01,014 --> 00:51:02,622
Bring in the prisoner.
680
00:51:09,964 --> 00:51:13,883
- What is this?
- Odda means for you to die as a traitor,
681
00:51:13,885 --> 00:51:15,602
and you will die.
682
00:51:15,604 --> 00:51:17,444
If it is Valhalla you want,
683
00:51:17,445 --> 00:51:21,002
- I will do my best to give it.
- I said you will stand separate.
684
00:51:24,645 --> 00:51:28,948
Leofric, you have sworn your oath,
685
00:51:28,950 --> 00:51:30,917
and you will tell the truth.
686
00:51:30,919 --> 00:51:32,402
I will, Lord.
687
00:51:32,404 --> 00:51:35,388
God is merciful.
688
00:51:35,390 --> 00:51:37,023
You're a man of Wessex
689
00:51:37,025 --> 00:51:41,802
- and have been loyal to the King?
- I am loyal to the King, Lord. Always.
690
00:51:42,780 --> 00:51:45,548
Were you in Cornwalum
with the ealdorman Uhtred?
691
00:51:47,985 --> 00:51:49,269
I was.
692
00:51:50,598 --> 00:51:52,173
Did you kill
693
00:51:52,174 --> 00:51:56,125
- and plunder Peredur and his Britons?
- I did.
694
00:51:56,127 --> 00:51:58,895
Leofric, have you now donated your share
695
00:51:58,897 --> 00:52:03,465
- of the plunder to the church?
- I have, Lord,
696
00:52:03,466 --> 00:52:05,435
and have begged forgiveness.
697
00:52:07,571 --> 00:52:11,057
The Witan hears you, Leofric.
698
00:52:13,049 --> 00:52:15,691
Whom did you follow into battle?
699
00:52:17,632 --> 00:52:23,521
- I went willingly, Lord.
- No, Uhtred led, you followed.
700
00:52:23,522 --> 00:52:26,756
- He is the ealdorman, and he is to blame!
- I share the blame, Lord.
701
00:52:26,758 --> 00:52:29,192
- No, he is responsible!
- Irresponsible.
702
00:52:29,194 --> 00:52:30,777
And he will pay for it with his life!
703
00:52:30,779 --> 00:52:33,396
- For the last time, beg.
- No, I will not beg!
704
00:52:33,398 --> 00:52:36,449
I will fall to my knees
for no man, no King,
705
00:52:36,451 --> 00:52:37,951
and no Christian God!
706
00:52:43,757 --> 00:52:45,475
Yeah.
707
00:52:47,745 --> 00:52:49,729
He must pay with his life.
708
00:52:50,799 --> 00:52:52,615
Lord, if I may make a plea
709
00:52:52,617 --> 00:52:53,983
to the King and the Witan.
710
00:52:53,985 --> 00:52:54,951
I have not yet finished.
711
00:52:54,953 --> 00:52:56,473
I beg your pardon, Lord, but if I may.
712
00:52:58,689 --> 00:53:02,275
It is clear that, like me,
the arseling here is guilty.
713
00:53:02,277 --> 00:53:03,843
Thank you, my friend.
714
00:53:03,845 --> 00:53:05,979
Because of my own guilt,
715
00:53:05,981 --> 00:53:09,565
and because of my respect
for Uhtred as a warrior,
716
00:53:09,567 --> 00:53:12,185
I request that he dies at my sword.
717
00:53:17,274 --> 00:53:20,843
You wish to become executioner, Leofric?
718
00:53:21,127 --> 00:53:23,479
My plea is for a fight
to the death, Lord...
719
00:53:23,481 --> 00:53:25,531
me against the arseling.
720
00:53:25,533 --> 00:53:29,002
If God is with me, I will be the Victor
721
00:53:29,004 --> 00:53:31,838
and the ealdorman is allowed
to die as a warrior should.
722
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,553
And if he should win
this fight to the death,
723
00:53:34,554 --> 00:53:37,226
- what then?
- He will not.
724
00:53:37,228 --> 00:53:40,179
It would take God's
intervention for him to beat me.
725
00:53:40,181 --> 00:53:42,307
Let them fight, Lord.
726
00:53:42,721 --> 00:53:47,271
Let God decide.
727
00:53:52,810 --> 00:53:54,926
Leofric,
728
00:53:54,927 --> 00:53:58,931
you have spoken well,
729
00:53:58,933 --> 00:54:01,450
and your request is granted.
730
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,204
You will fight tomorrow...
731
00:54:08,205 --> 00:54:13,245
to the death... swords and shields.
732
00:54:13,247 --> 00:54:17,333
God shall determine the Victor.
