00:00:01,602 --> 00:00:06,563
UHTRED: I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred.
I was born an ealdorman of England.
2
00:00:06,673 --> 00:00:09,541
UHTRED THE OLDER:
Our ancestors took this land
3
00:00:09,643 --> 00:00:11,236
and you will die
for it if needed.
4
00:00:11,612 --> 00:00:13,080
UHTRED THE OLDER: Kill them all!
5
00:00:13,247 --> 00:00:17,378
UHTRED: I saw my father killed in
battle and my uncle steal his lands.
6
00:00:17,484 --> 00:00:20,352
I was taken by the invaders.
7
00:00:20,454 --> 00:00:24,550
First as a slave and then
as a son to Earl Ragnar.
8
00:00:24,658 --> 00:00:27,287
That was my family, my life.
9
00:00:27,461 --> 00:00:30,863
Young Ragnar my
brother, and Brida my friend.
10
00:00:30,998 --> 00:00:34,992
Until my family were
murdered by Kjartan the Cruel
11
00:00:35,102 --> 00:00:37,799
and his one-eyed son Sven.
12
00:00:37,905 --> 00:00:41,398
And my sister taken hostage
on the eve of her wedding.
13
00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:44,610
I fled to Alfred,
14
00:00:44,912 --> 00:00:47,211
the Saxon King of Wessex.
15
00:00:48,115 --> 00:00:52,780
I fell in love with a Pagan queen
who saw my sister in a vision.
16
00:00:52,886 --> 00:00:56,789
Uhtred, she lives, and
is being held in the North.

(BATTLE CRIES)
18
00:00:58,725 --> 00:01:05,461
In the year 878 at Ethandune,
I fought alongside King Alfred
19
00:01:05,832 --> 00:01:09,928
to defeat the Danes and
drove them from Wessex,
20
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:11,470
but at a great price.
21
00:01:12,205 --> 00:01:15,607
Uhtred Ragnason,
I have a gift for you!
22
00:01:15,709 --> 00:01:17,041
Your queen!

(YELLS)
24
00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:27,214
UHTRED: Peace was secured
with hostages, Brida and Ragnar,
25
00:01:27,321 --> 00:01:32,055
and by the Danish earl's baptism
and acceptance of the Christian God.
26
00:01:32,659 --> 00:01:34,719
As for Uhtred the godless,
27
00:01:35,529 --> 00:01:38,761
my path led north,
to blood feuds,
28
00:01:38,899 --> 00:01:42,267
to revenge, and to Bebbanburg.

00:02:43,096 --> 00:02:45,964
I've tried to show both
courage and sacrifice.
36
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,137
- Faced with a fearsome enemy.
- But I do not see God.
37
00:02:54,708 --> 00:02:57,405
- He was there, within us all.
- Praise Him.
38
00:02:57,577 --> 00:03:00,809
Word of the victory is being
spread throughout the land.
39
00:03:01,948 --> 00:03:05,146

that it was God-given.

But, ealdormen,
49
00:03:54,234 --> 00:03:58,194
to keep Wessex safe, we must
now look beyond its borders,
50
00:03:58,305 --> 00:04:02,675
to Mercia, East Anglia, to
Cornwalum, Wales, and to the North,
51
00:04:04,211 --> 00:04:08,307
to Northumbria and to the once
great and holy city of Eoferwic,
52
00:04:08,482 --> 00:04:13,978
where now, Christian men and women
suffer under the dark rule of the Danes.
53
00:04:15,689 --> 00:04:17,920
There are two Northmen,
54
00:04:18,058 --> 00:04:21,153
Sigefrid and Erik,
two godless brothers
55
00:04:21,261 --> 00:04:25,221
with a voracious appetite for
land, silver, slaves and war.
56
00:04:26,299 --> 00:04:30,134
I want it known and
I want them to know
57
00:04:31,404 --> 00:04:36,342
that God, Alfred and the
ealdormen of Wessex are watching.
58

In all too soon a time,

Aethelflaed will be old enough
for betrothal, then marriage.
68
00:05:24,558 --> 00:05:26,356
You require a list
of suitors, lord?
69
00:05:26,493 --> 00:05:30,294
I do. They must be a match for
my daughter, her mother, for Wessex
70
00:05:30,564 --> 00:05:32,226
and my idea of a united land.
71
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:34,267
In which order, lord?

00:05:34,367 --> 00:05:37,337
Oh, do not ask me, my friend,
I pray I never need to choose.

Lord, I am honoured.
76
00:05:47,347 --> 00:05:49,282
Brother Trew has
travelled from the North.
77
00:05:49,382 --> 00:05:52,318
Cumbraland, in the
west of Northumbria.
78
00:05:52,485 --> 00:05:55,250
He has a letter that tells
of a vision and a prophecy.
79
00:05:55,355 --> 00:05:57,347
From the heavens, lord, I swear.
80
00:06:01,361 --> 00:06:04,263
The Abbot Eadred of Cumbraland
did dream of the likeness
81
00:06:04,364 --> 00:06:06,333
and this likeness
did speak to him.
82
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:09,332
The likeness was
of Saint Cuthbert.
83
00:06:09,436 --> 00:06:12,497
- Cuthbert?
- Speaking directly from heaven.
84
00:06:12,606 --> 00:06:15,735
The Abbot tells of Cuthbert's
instruction within the letter.

in the North, there is an urgency.

We are in general ruled by Danes.
We are in need of a Christian saviour.

This saviour is Guthred.

not slaughter Danes like this.

If there is slaughter, lord, and
there appears to be slaughter,

you cannot kill him!

want, it can be with me.

up your sword. Pick it up.

BEOCCA: We are travelling north
with Alfred's blessing and silver.
253
00:20:17,416 --> 00:20:22,616
It is a ransom to be paid to free a
slave, but he is no ordinary slave.

00:20:22,755 --> 00:20:25,224
This man is marked
to become a king.

00:20:25,391 --> 00:20:27,587

- His name is Guthred.
256
00:20:28,360 --> 00:20:31,057
- A Dane?
- But a good man, a man of God.
257
00:20:32,064 --> 00:20:35,762
The spirit of Saint Cuthbert has
decreed that Guthred shall be king.
258
00:20:35,868 --> 00:20:38,360
- A prophecy.
- Oh, my good lord.
259
00:20:38,471 --> 00:20:41,441
He appeared in a dream to the
Abbot Eadred of Cumbraland.
260
00:20:41,574 --> 00:20:44,305
He named Guthred as king
of both Saxons and Danes.
261
00:20:46,579 --> 00:20:48,138
How many men is that?
262
00:20:48,247 --> 00:20:49,715
Hundreds. Thousands, perhaps.
263
00:20:49,849 --> 00:20:52,114
- Warriors?
- BROTHER TREW: Some, yes.
264
00:20:52,284 --> 00:20:53,308
Of course.
265
00:20:56,021 --> 00:21:01,119
Alfred would not be content with this
man being solely king of Cumbraland.
266
00:21:01,260 --> 00:21:04,128
Well, yes, Alfred would
wish for Guthred's influence
267
00:21:04,263 --> 00:21:06,164
to spread across the
whole of Northumbria.
268
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:08,598
Including here, in Eoferwic.
269
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:13,706
Come with us. Help
us to free Guthred,
270
00:21:13,873 --> 00:21:15,842
protect the ransom
until it is delivered,
271
00:21:15,941 --> 00:21:18,137
and I'm sure there
will be a reward.
272
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:20,837
Your bargain is with whom?
273
00:21:20,946 --> 00:21:22,505
BROTHER TREW: A slave-master.
274
00:21:22,648 --> 00:21:25,083
The village in which we
are meeting sits on land
275
00:21:25,217 --> 00:21:27,186
that belongs to
someone from your past.
276
00:21:27,286 --> 00:21:29,050
Kjartan.
277
00:21:33,225 --> 00:21:36,627
Kjartan's land will be
full of men, warriors?
278
00:21:36,762 --> 00:21:38,856
HALIG: Father, who's
protected you so far?
279
00:21:38,964 --> 00:21:40,193
Do you have no guard?
280
00:21:40,299 --> 00:21:43,736
We have gathered a group of sickly
men who suffer with the white riff.
281
00:21:43,903 --> 00:21:45,496
Leprosy is a terrible curse.
282
00:21:45,638 --> 00:21:49,268
Put these poor creatures in a
cart and no man dare approach.
283
00:21:49,375 --> 00:21:54,075
No one can imagine the
treasure sitting beside the disease.
284
00:21:55,548 --> 00:22:00,213
Your king, Guthred.
Kjartan would be his enemy?
285
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:03,221
BROTHER TREW: He would. It
was Kjartan's men killed his father.
286
00:22:03,322 --> 00:22:06,190
Guthred himself was
captured and sold as a slave.
287
00:22:08,694 --> 00:22:11,858
Then he would be prepared to
raise an army against Kjartan?
288
00:22:11,964 --> 00:22:13,865
He would be an ally, I'm sure.
289
00:22:13,999 --> 00:22:16,195
HILD: As I'm sure
Uhtred is but one man.
290
00:22:16,335 --> 00:22:17,462
- Against many.
- BEOCCA: No.
291
00:22:17,570 --> 00:22:22,372
No, Uhtred is more than just one
man. And he is here for a reason.
292
00:22:33,385 --> 00:22:36,184
AELSWITH: I have come
to wish you goodnight, lord.
293
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:43,352
Rest well.
294
00:22:46,365 --> 00:22:47,628
Stay.
295
00:22:51,437 --> 00:22:52,803
Stay.
296
00:23:11,123 --> 00:23:12,716
I have been thinking
of Northumbria.
297
00:23:13,459 --> 00:23:15,985
Eoferwic is the
great city of the north.
298
00:23:16,328 --> 00:23:19,059
To make it Saxon once
again would bring hope.
299
00:23:19,198 --> 00:23:20,928
It would be a beacon.
300
00:23:21,533 --> 00:23:23,001
Yes.
301
00:23:23,135 --> 00:23:28,870
A fortress from which all Danes
of the North could be challenged
302
00:23:29,041 --> 00:23:31,237
and England grows.
303
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,409
Should you not
be sleeping, lord?
304
00:24:04,443 --> 00:24:07,413
Yes, I should be sleeping.
305
00:24:13,919 --> 00:24:17,253
I've always intended to ask about
the amber on the hilt of your sword.
306
00:24:17,389 --> 00:24:21,258
- Hmm?
- Is it decoration or something more?
307
00:24:21,660 --> 00:24:24,425
It was given to me at
my birth by my father...
308
00:24:28,267 --> 00:24:29,530
to remind me of who I am.
309
00:24:33,672 --> 00:24:35,937
Who you are, lord...
310
00:24:37,543 --> 00:24:40,240
is defined by what you do,
311
00:24:40,346 --> 00:24:43,077
and what you have done
has given you reputation,
312
00:24:45,117 --> 00:24:46,676
but reputation is not a shield.
313
00:24:53,525 --> 00:24:56,427
I think Father Beocca
asks too much.
314
00:25:02,101 --> 00:25:03,125
No.
315
00:25:06,171 --> 00:25:08,333
No, it's fate that I am here.
316
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:16,346
It was fate you drenched me
in water, set us on our way.
317
00:25:19,952 --> 00:25:22,945
Kjartan will have men
at this village, no doubt.
318
00:25:24,656 --> 00:25:26,648
But he and his
one-eyed son Sven,
319
00:25:26,759 --> 00:25:29,354
they murdered my family
and they must be faced.
320
00:25:32,097 --> 00:25:34,328
And I have my sister to find.
321
00:25:37,536 --> 00:25:39,664
Are you certain she still lives?
322
00:25:40,572 --> 00:25:42,700
Iseult was certain.
323
00:25:49,615 --> 00:25:51,208
Then you should sleep.
324
00:25:55,521 --> 00:25:56,521
Hild.
325
00:25:58,023 --> 00:26:00,549
I would sleep easier
lying next to a woman.
326
00:26:00,692 --> 00:26:02,786
(CHUCKLES)
327
00:26:03,328 --> 00:26:05,524
Shall I fetch
another bucket, lord?
328
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:34,389
We move!
329
00:26:59,084 --> 00:27:03,522
BEOCCA: Can you smell the
northern sea, boy, the Northumbrian air?
330
00:27:03,622 --> 00:27:06,023
UHTRED: I smell it
and I feel it, Father.
331
00:27:06,158 --> 00:27:08,218
- It feels like home.
- BEOCCA: That it does.
332
00:28:04,550 --> 00:28:06,849
I'd prefer you not
to look at me, lord.
333
00:28:07,152 --> 00:28:10,020
Is it wrong that I
look? You have beauty.
334
00:28:10,355 --> 00:28:12,517
And you have an appetite
I do not wish to satisfy.
335
00:28:13,725 --> 00:28:16,058
I'm with you, lord,
because I'm safe with you.
336
00:28:20,299 --> 00:28:21,665
(GROWLS)
337
00:28:21,833 --> 00:28:23,859
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
338
00:28:23,969 --> 00:28:27,963
HILD: I would like you to teach
me how to fight. Swordcraft.
339
00:28:28,106 --> 00:28:32,168
(UHTRED LAUGHS) Skill.
The Danes call it sword skill.
340
00:28:32,311 --> 00:28:35,645

live to see him crowned king,

then the slaver and whoever
sits with him must fear me.

- Were they dead too?
- I did not ask.

He's dead. Invincible.

Yes, lord, it seemed that way.

Then you believe he was
sent by Odin to take my soul?

Well, he arrived with
the priest and a ransom...

- Yes, lord.
- But no silver was paid?

00:53:54,064 --> 00:53:58,263
Do not get overly drunk, lord, for
tomorrow you teach me sword skills.
683
00:53:58,402 --> 00:54:00,962
And maybe one day
I shall save your life.
684
00:54:06,243 --> 00:54:08,269
Your sister is pretty.
685
00:54:08,412 --> 00:54:11,849
Uhtred, I believe you would
find a goat in a skirt to be pretty.
686
00:54:12,616 --> 00:54:13,811
Goodnight.
687
00:54:16,854 --> 00:54:19,221
The cocksure
long-haired fool over there.
688
00:54:20,290 --> 00:54:22,725
Is he a danger?
689
00:54:23,260 --> 00:54:27,220
- To whom, Abbot?
- To each one of us and to our purpose.
690
00:54:28,332 --> 00:54:32,497
Although he lacks humility,
Uhtred is the reason we are alive.
691
00:54:32,636 --> 00:54:35,538
Ah, he gave you protection out of
the goodness of his heart, did he?
692
00:54:35,672 --> 00:54:39,439
What does he want with
Cumbraland and with our king?
693
00:54:41,278 --> 00:54:44,715
He wants Bebbanburg,
his ancestral home.
694
00:54:45,282 --> 00:54:47,945
And it's in the king's
gift to help him.
695
00:54:48,285 --> 00:54:51,483
Hm. He will need to be watched.
696
00:54:53,023 --> 00:54:54,184
He's a pretender,
697
00:54:54,291 --> 00:54:55,691
I'm sure.
698
00:55:08,172 --> 00:55:09,572
(GENTLY SNORES)
699
00:55:09,706 --> 00:55:10,935
(LOCK CLICKS)
700
00:55:27,357 --> 00:55:28,848
Please...
701
00:55:42,306 --> 00:55:44,298
You have men in
Northumbria still?
702
00:55:45,509 --> 00:55:47,239
Some.
703
00:55:47,344 --> 00:55:49,939
Most have settled, but
they are mine to call upon,
704
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,107
and I have men in East
Anglia with Earl Guthrum.
705
00:55:53,217 --> 00:55:54,947
His name is now Aethelstan.
706
00:55:55,085 --> 00:56:00,922
That may be his Christian name,
lord, but to us, he's Guthrum the Weak.
707
00:56:01,024 --> 00:56:03,289
To seek peace is not a weakness.
708
00:56:03,393 --> 00:56:06,090
The battle of Ethandun
was ours to win.
709
00:56:06,196 --> 00:56:11,533
Only with peace can you build,
only with peace can a people grow.
710
00:56:11,635 --> 00:56:15,299
- Grow fat?
- Grow as one, Brida.
711
00:56:15,405 --> 00:56:18,807
It is true that in
parts of the North,
712
00:56:18,942 --> 00:56:21,639
Saxon, Dane and Briton now
live side by side, do they not?
713
00:56:21,778 --> 00:56:25,715
Oh, they do, but it is
the Danes that rule.
714
00:56:26,750 --> 00:56:31,654
Though warlords must now look
elsewhere for war, to Ireland and Alba.
715
00:56:31,989 --> 00:56:34,288
War is how a man
makes his wealth.
716
00:56:34,391 --> 00:56:35,791
ALFRED: Hmm, I disagree.
717
00:56:35,926 --> 00:56:39,055
War is how a man takes
his wealth, Earl Ragnar.
718
00:56:39,396 --> 00:56:41,456
It is the land and
trade that makes it.
719
00:56:42,833 --> 00:56:46,270
And for the land and trade to
flourish, there must be peace.
720
00:56:48,005 --> 00:56:49,837
To be Viking is a way of life.
721
00:56:49,973 --> 00:56:52,033
To be Viking is a way to die.
722
00:56:53,343 --> 00:56:55,278
And there are many
Danes, I believe,
723
00:56:55,412 --> 00:56:57,313
who want more
from life than death.
724
00:56:57,414 --> 00:56:58,541
RAGNAR: Lord,
725
00:56:58,649 --> 00:57:03,986
you are never more alive than
when you sail a ship onto a new shore.
726
00:57:04,087 --> 00:57:06,056
Oh, on that we are agreed.
727
00:57:09,693 --> 00:57:10,991
SVEN: Father!
728
00:57:11,995 --> 00:57:13,657
Father.
729
00:57:13,830 --> 00:57:15,958
I have news of
the slave, Guthred.
730
00:57:16,433 --> 00:57:19,232
He has been made a
king, of Cumbraland.
731
00:57:20,671 --> 00:57:22,003
Fiske?
732
00:57:22,105 --> 00:57:24,631
It is true, lord, we
heard it from traders.
733
00:57:28,812 --> 00:57:32,214
- Where are these traders?
- We heard the same story three times,
734
00:57:32,449 --> 00:57:34,111
- five times...
- We heard it three times.
735
00:57:34,251 --> 00:57:36,846
This Guthred is now a king.
736
00:57:36,987 --> 00:57:39,422
- What of the dead horseman?
- FISKE: Lord...
737
00:57:39,690 --> 00:57:43,320
King Guthred is
building up an army
738
00:57:44,461 --> 00:57:48,125
made up of both
Danes and Saxons.
739
00:57:48,265 --> 00:57:51,827
And the commander
of this army is just that.
740
00:57:51,935 --> 00:57:54,131
Both Dane and Saxon.
741
00:57:55,038 --> 00:57:57,439
SVEN: His name is Uhtred.
742
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,506
- Are you certain of this?
- Yes.
743
00:58:08,485 --> 00:58:09,714
Tekil.
744
00:58:11,221 --> 00:58:12,746
Lord?
745
00:58:13,123 --> 00:58:15,683
KJARTAN: If the king of
Cumbraland is building an army,
746
00:58:15,826 --> 00:58:17,818
you will join him.
747
00:58:19,863 --> 00:58:22,492
If you get the chance,
you can kill the king.
748
00:58:23,700 --> 00:58:27,398
But you will bring his
commander back here, to me.
749
00:58:27,504 --> 00:58:29,439
- Take his eye.
- KJARTAN: Yes.
750
00:58:30,774 --> 00:58:36,338
You can take his eye, but I want
him here and I want him alive.
751
00:58:37,381 --> 00:58:39,543
I will take him piece by piece.
752
00:58:40,517 --> 00:58:42,383
I will make him suffer.
753
00:58:43,787 --> 00:58:46,951
Uhtred Ragnarson
754
00:58:47,858 --> 00:58:49,554
is mine.
