1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,296
I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred.
2
00:00:01,297 --> 00:00:03,630
Sigefrid and Eriks' army
3
00:00:03,631 --> 00:00:06,980
raided our camp and kidnapped
the Lady Aethelflaed.
4
00:00:06,981 --> 00:00:10,182
You took my daughter into battle.
5
00:00:10,183 --> 00:00:13,891
To learn her fate, I
sent my loyal men Rypere
6
00:00:13,892 --> 00:00:16,461
and Sihtric to Beamfleot as spies.
7
00:00:16,462 --> 00:00:20,591
I swear that this prize
will not be sold cheaply.
8
00:00:20,592 --> 00:00:21,891
[THEY CHEER]
9
00:00:21,892 --> 00:00:25,422
Wessex shall pay its share of silver
and if necessary its share of blood!
10
00:00:25,423 --> 00:00:27,178
I will do what needs to be done.
11
00:00:27,179 --> 00:00:29,771
What is your opinion on paying
a ransom for Aethelflaed?
12
00:00:29,772 --> 00:00:31,961
Not one I am prepared to say aloud.
13
00:00:31,962 --> 00:00:33,221
I may need you.
14
00:00:33,222 --> 00:00:36,358
Alfred sent us to negotiate the ransom,
15
00:00:36,359 --> 00:00:40,116
but secretly Aethelflaed
and Erik have fallen in love.
16
00:00:40,117 --> 00:00:42,049
Your husband is a fortunate man.
17
00:00:43,709 --> 00:00:46,301
He is not the man I
would choose to be with.
18
00:00:46,302 --> 00:00:49,391
I cannot let her go.
19
00:00:49,392 --> 00:00:52,681
I will leave this place with
Erik or I will not leave at all.
20
00:00:52,682 --> 00:00:54,221
Will you help me?
21
00:00:54,222 --> 00:00:55,721
Please?
22
00:00:55,722 --> 00:00:57,501
Destiny is all.

00:01:40,732 --> 00:01:43,591
What binds a man to a land?
26
00:01:43,592 --> 00:01:48,791
You have a poor wretch, toiling
in the fields, burning in summer,
27
00:01:48,792 --> 00:01:52,121
shivering in winter. He
works all day, every day
28
00:01:52,122 --> 00:01:55,031
for nothing more than a loaf
of bread and a pot to piss in.
29
00:01:56,342 --> 00:01:59,901
His children die of disease, his
wife dies giving him children.
30
00:01:59,902 --> 00:02:05,101
Yet, when that land is
threatened, something stirs. Why?
31
00:02:05,102 --> 00:02:07,871
It is the land that feeds him.
32
00:02:08,372 --> 00:02:10,251
More than that.
33
00:02:10,252 --> 00:02:14,461
Er, the trees off the land
are used for shelter and fire.
34
00:02:14,462 --> 00:02:16,481
More than that.
35
00:02:16,482 --> 00:02:18,961
Is it love, Father?
36
00:02:18,962 --> 00:02:22,431
Oh, for the Lord's sake,
can you not remain quiet?
37
00:02:22,432 --> 00:02:28,251
But, yes, the bastard has
it, it can only be love.
38
00:02:28,252 --> 00:02:33,171
It is a powerful thing. Would
you not agree, Lord Uhtred?
39
00:02:35,332 --> 00:02:36,541
From wretch to warrior,
40
00:02:36,542 --> 00:02:42,401
love gives a man strength
often at the cost of his mind.
41
00:02:49,902 --> 00:02:51,311
How much?
42
00:02:51,312 --> 00:02:54,171
It's not a small amount, Lord.
43
00:02:55,512 --> 00:02:59,841
3,000 lbs weight of silver
and 500 lbs weight of gold.
44
00:02:59,842 --> 00:03:02,881
The first of the metal is to be
delivered by the next full moon,
45
00:03:02,912 --> 00:03:04,791
the remaining amount one month later.
46
00:03:04,822 --> 00:03:06,551
That is an impossible amount.
47
00:03:06,552 --> 00:03:08,051
An absurd amount.
48
00:03:08,052 --> 00:03:09,831
- That is the best price?
- It is, Lord.
49
00:03:09,832 --> 00:03:12,031
It is less than half
their first demand, Lord.
50
00:03:12,032 --> 00:03:14,191
What it is is the
entire wealth of Wessex.
51
00:03:14,192 --> 00:03:18,215
What it would buy is an army to
ensure the end of Wessex and Mercia.
52
00:03:18,250 --> 00:03:22,821
Without the money... what
will happen to my daughter?
53
00:03:25,252 --> 00:03:29,191
She is too valuable to simply
kill, Lord, it would be humiliation.
54
00:03:29,192 --> 00:03:33,971
She will be taken to every town
where Danes rule, she will be
55
00:03:33,972 --> 00:03:39,271
paraded before mocking crowds and
men would pay to take their turn.
56
00:03:58,822 --> 00:04:03,798
It is not just the life and reputation
of my daughter at stake here,
57
00:04:05,521 --> 00:04:07,397
it is the dignity of Wessex.
58
00:04:07,432 --> 00:04:12,231
So, many thousands of men must die,
Lord, for the dignity of Wessex?
59
00:04:12,232 --> 00:04:14,341
Yes, 0dda.
60
00:04:14,342 --> 00:04:17,201
A country is its history,
the sum of all its stories -
61
00:04:17,202 --> 00:04:19,071
we are what our fathers made us.
62
00:04:19,072 --> 00:04:22,451
Would you have me leave my
descendants the shameful tale
63
00:04:22,452 --> 00:04:26,991
of how a Princess of Wessex was
whored to the highest bidder?
64
00:04:26,992 --> 00:04:29,991
That is a tale that would
overshadow all others.
65
00:04:29,992 --> 00:04:33,701
The battle of Ethandun
would become insignificant.
66
00:04:33,702 --> 00:04:36,701
But, Lord, if we pay this ransom...
67
00:04:36,702 --> 00:04:39,181
I do not see how there will be a Wessex.
68
00:04:39,182 --> 00:04:43,401
The tale they tell will be of the king who
paid for the very army that destroyed him!
69
00:04:43,402 --> 00:04:45,141
God would not allow that to happen.
70
00:04:45,142 --> 00:04:48,141
It's not God we are dealing with,
it is the Northmen, the Danes!
71
00:04:48,142 --> 00:04:51,231
Non-believers, over
whom we will triumph.
72
00:04:51,232 --> 00:04:53,101
Should a great battle come of this,
73
00:04:53,102 --> 00:04:54,791
we shall have men enough to face them.
74
00:04:54,792 --> 00:04:56,901
I expect the fyrd of
Mercia to be at our side.
75
00:04:56,902 --> 00:04:58,171
It shall be there, Lord.
76
00:04:58,172 --> 00:05:00,701
The metal will be paid, in full.
77
00:05:00,702 --> 00:05:03,611
My daughter will be spared and
Wessex shall avoid indignity.
78
00:05:03,612 --> 00:05:05,431
But not the slaughter.
79
00:05:05,432 --> 00:05:10,081
0dda, I hear your doubts and
I ask you to renew your faith.
80
00:05:12,801 --> 00:05:14,440
Yes, Lord.
81
00:05:16,131 --> 00:05:19,130
Aethelred, you will join Father Beocca
and I before returning to Mercia.
82
00:05:19,131 --> 00:05:22,320
We must decide how best
to gather the ransom.
83
00:05:22,321 --> 00:05:24,430
Yes, Lord.
84
00:05:29,401 --> 00:05:31,270
This cannot be how it ends.
85
00:05:31,271 --> 00:05:33,940
Lord, you have said all you can say.
86
00:05:33,941 --> 00:05:36,100
And bravely.
87
00:05:36,101 --> 00:05:39,430
There's nothing more for you
to do, so I beg you, do nothing.
88
00:06:03,101 --> 00:06:05,160
Lord?
89
00:06:12,381 --> 00:06:13,930
Lord?
90
00:06:15,341 --> 00:06:16,700
Dagfinn, you can go.
91
00:06:18,431 --> 00:06:19,930
All of you.
92
00:06:19,931 --> 00:06:22,230
Yes, Lord.
93
00:06:22,231 --> 00:06:23,730
Do you have it?
94
00:06:26,821 --> 00:06:28,890
Is that enough?
95
00:06:28,891 --> 00:06:30,010
Yes.
96
00:06:32,961 --> 00:06:33,850
Uhtred can read?
97
00:06:33,851 --> 00:06:37,370
All of my father's
ealdormen can read and write.
98
00:06:37,371 --> 00:06:39,480
Although the letters Uhtred has written,
99
00:06:39,481 --> 00:06:41,360
you could count with one finger.
100
00:06:43,931 --> 00:06:45,810
I will teach you.
101
00:06:47,731 --> 00:06:50,400
What is to prevent
him from doing nothing?
102
00:06:50,401 --> 00:06:53,920
We are asking him to risk
everything for no reward.
103
00:06:53,921 --> 00:06:55,890
Why should he come?
104
00:06:55,891 --> 00:07:00,010
It is Uhtred, he will come. I swear.
105
00:07:10,611 --> 00:07:12,480
He's with her, again?
106
00:07:12,481 --> 00:07:14,120
He is.
107
00:07:14,121 --> 00:07:15,530
He cannot keep away from her.
108
00:07:15,531 --> 00:07:17,830
Let us hope he does not
take her for his wife...
109
00:07:17,831 --> 00:07:19,230
[HE CHUCKLES]
110
00:07:19,231 --> 00:07:21,480
or else our fortune is lost.
111
00:07:21,481 --> 00:07:23,590
Is this true, huh?
112
00:07:32,781 --> 00:07:36,530
Sigefrid! Which woman is mine?
113
00:07:37,131 --> 00:07:39,480
The ugly one.
114
00:07:39,481 --> 00:07:43,740
We walked them for miles,
see they are fed and watered.
115
00:07:43,741 --> 00:07:45,570
Horses and slaves.
116
00:07:45,571 --> 00:07:47,490
[THEY LAUGH]
117
00:07:52,601 --> 00:07:55,410
You are called Sihtric?
118
00:07:57,621 --> 00:08:01,130
Yes, Lord. Good evening to you, Lord.
119
00:08:01,131 --> 00:08:03,290
Uhtred says you can be trusted.
120
00:08:04,701 --> 00:08:06,760
So you will take him this letter.
121
00:08:14,491 --> 00:08:16,130
This is a great responsibility.
122
00:08:27,221 --> 00:08:30,010
They will have no peace.
123
00:08:30,011 --> 00:08:31,750
None.
124
00:08:33,341 --> 00:08:36,150
I have told them the same.
125
00:08:37,141 --> 00:08:38,920
But you will still help them?
126
00:08:38,921 --> 00:08:40,980
I must, I have no choice.
127
00:08:40,981 --> 00:08:46,610
If they escape then there will
be no ransom paid. No great army.
128
00:08:46,611 --> 00:08:51,860
The men of Wessex are saved,
yes, but what becomes of you?
129
00:08:53,171 --> 00:08:54,480
Of us?
130
00:08:54,481 --> 00:08:56,730
Alfred will see it as a betrayal.
131
00:08:56,731 --> 00:08:58,330
You will have broken your oath.
132
00:09:00,011 --> 00:09:01,190
We leave.
133
00:09:04,561 --> 00:09:08,920
Tomorrow I will make a
sacrifice to keep you safe.
134
00:09:10,751 --> 00:09:12,300
All of us?
135
00:09:19,891 --> 00:09:22,000
Give your name to the scribe.
136
00:09:22,001 --> 00:09:27,110
The sum of your contribution
will be written beside your name.
137
00:09:27,111 --> 00:09:30,720
We're helping to free
the Lady Aethelflaed.
138
00:09:30,721 --> 00:09:32,730
I've got nothing to
give, I've got a family.
139
00:09:32,731 --> 00:09:35,410
Any man or woman found to be
hiding the value of their wealth
140
00:09:35,411 --> 00:09:36,910
shall be punished.
141
00:09:36,911 --> 00:09:39,340
All must pay their share.
142
00:09:40,841 --> 00:09:46,280
You have the gratitude
of the King, and of God.
143
00:09:46,281 --> 00:09:48,200
Name?
144
00:09:48,201 --> 00:09:49,240
Dorridge.
145
00:09:55,991 --> 00:09:57,670
Lord?
146
00:09:57,671 --> 00:09:59,740
News, Lord.
147
00:09:59,741 --> 00:10:01,470
Speak.
148
00:10:01,471 --> 00:10:04,990
Say to the King exactly
what you said to me. Exactly.
149
00:10:11,271 --> 00:10:13,190
Lord, this man is from Canterbury.
150
00:10:13,191 --> 00:10:16,596
The Northmen at Beamfleot
are now crossing the river
151
00:10:16,597 --> 00:10:18,770
and raiding directly into Wessex.
152
00:10:18,771 --> 00:10:21,020
They have taken my wife
and daughters, Lord.
153
00:10:21,021 --> 00:10:23,830
The youngest is just eight years.
154
00:10:23,831 --> 00:10:28,100
While we do nothing, Lord, but
gather half-pennies from the poor.
155
00:10:30,111 --> 00:10:32,650
Father, you will take this man away,
156
00:10:32,651 --> 00:10:34,710
feed him and give him rest at an inn.
157
00:10:34,711 --> 00:10:36,720
Lord.
158
00:10:39,441 --> 00:10:41,790
0dda, what is it you want?
159
00:10:41,791 --> 00:10:46,900
Lord, he is just one man, but he
has lost two brothers at Ethandun,
160
00:10:46,901 --> 00:10:50,410
two daughters and a wife to the
Northmen, and yet guards will
161
00:10:50,411 --> 00:10:53,170
knock at his door and demand
one third of the little he has,
162
00:10:53,171 --> 00:10:56,090
all to help preserve
the dignity of Wessex.
163
00:10:56,091 --> 00:10:58,480
This insolence is too much.
164
00:10:58,481 --> 00:11:02,130
Then in six months' time
we shall ask for his life!
165
00:11:02,131 --> 00:11:07,150
What I want, Lord, is
for good sense to prevail.
166
00:11:07,151 --> 00:11:10,290
By good sense, I presume you mean
the death or humiliation of my
167
00:11:10,291 --> 00:11:13,380
daughter and of the
reputation of Wessex?
168
00:11:13,381 --> 00:11:15,630
Or we march, Lord, and we fight.
169
00:11:15,631 --> 00:11:17,930
If we march they will kill her.
170
00:11:17,931 --> 00:11:20,790
And she will be considered
a martyr, for Wessex, Lord,
171
00:11:20,791 --> 00:11:22,530
her dignity preserved!
172
00:11:22,531 --> 00:11:25,710
And you would still have the
Prince, Edward, your line is intact!
173
00:11:31,791 --> 00:11:34,990
0dda, what has saved you from
outright banishment is that
174
00:11:34,991 --> 00:11:37,570
you chose your King over your own son.
175
00:11:37,571 --> 00:11:40,301
- Lord, I chose Wessex over my son.
- A traitor!
176
00:11:40,336 --> 00:11:43,570
You should at least
consider doing the same!
177
00:11:50,141 --> 00:11:51,640
What am I to do with you?
178
00:11:56,141 --> 00:11:59,650
Your injury and your appetite for wine
179
00:11:59,651 --> 00:12:02,280
have robbed us both of your worth.
180
00:12:06,831 --> 00:12:08,370
You no longer serve a purpose.
181
00:12:12,361 --> 00:12:14,000
Then, with your permission, Lord,
182
00:12:14,001 --> 00:12:18,220
I shall return to my estate
and my wife at Devonshire.
183
00:12:18,221 --> 00:12:21,690
Whilst it is still a Saxon estate.
184
00:12:23,801 --> 00:12:25,300
That would be for the best.
185
00:12:27,451 --> 00:12:29,610
Should you be needed
you will be sent for.
186
00:13:24,037 --> 00:13:26,246
They buy the very swords
that will slay them.
187
00:13:32,337 --> 00:13:33,976
Lord, good evening.
188
00:13:38,527 --> 00:13:39,976
I am a moth to the flame.
189
00:13:42,367 --> 00:13:44,806
Yes, it is becoming
a significant amount.
190
00:13:44,807 --> 00:13:50,196
Significant is the word, Lord,
in its size and its effect.
191
00:13:50,197 --> 00:13:51,976
- Your father...
- The King?
192
00:13:55,777 --> 00:13:57,226
He would have done the same.
193
00:13:58,687 --> 00:14:01,776
Pay such a ransom for his
offspring, Lord? I doubt it.
194
00:14:01,777 --> 00:14:05,436
I was a great disappointment to him...
195
00:14:05,437 --> 00:14:06,696
which I regret.
196
00:14:08,007 --> 00:14:10,826
But if you were not such a
disappointment, Aethelwold,
197
00:14:10,827 --> 00:14:12,186
I may have had you killed.
198
00:14:13,547 --> 00:14:14,946
For the good of Wessex.
199
00:14:16,587 --> 00:14:20,196
Never doubt it, every decision
I make is for my country.
200
00:14:22,547 --> 00:14:23,576
Yes, Lord.
201
00:14:25,637 --> 00:14:27,086
I understand completely.
202
00:14:51,327 --> 00:14:52,406
Lord 0dda.
203
00:14:53,807 --> 00:14:56,626
You will set tongues wagging,
drinking with the peasants.
204
00:14:56,627 --> 00:14:58,126
Let them wag if it please them.
205
00:15:00,327 --> 00:15:03,096
You asked me some days ago
if I agree with the payment of
206
00:15:03,097 --> 00:15:04,406
a ransom.
207
00:15:08,157 --> 00:15:09,426
I do not.
208
00:15:12,467 --> 00:15:17,996
If I had an army to call upon, a
fyrd to raise, I would prove it.
209
00:15:21,467 --> 00:15:22,966
But I have not.
210
00:15:37,267 --> 00:15:39,146
I appear to have joined you, Lord.
211
00:15:49,547 --> 00:15:52,266
He's been there for part of
the day and all of the night.
212
00:15:52,267 --> 00:15:55,036
He's a good man and I worry that
it will damage his reputation, Lord.
213
00:15:55,037 --> 00:15:57,616
If he can stand, it can
only enhance his reputation.
214
00:15:57,617 --> 00:16:01,456
Lord. May we join you?
215
00:16:04,127 --> 00:16:07,176
Is he here still or has he already left?
216
00:16:07,177 --> 00:16:08,626
Aethelwold?
217
00:16:08,627 --> 00:16:11,306
Erm, no, he's long gone, Lord.
218
00:16:15,377 --> 00:16:17,016
Perhaps you've drank enough, Lord?
219
00:16:17,017 --> 00:16:20,536
It is entirely possible.
220
00:16:20,537 --> 00:16:24,426
Though the ale they brew here is
weak upon the orders of Alfred.
221
00:16:24,427 --> 00:16:25,506
You'rejoking, Lord.
222
00:16:27,007 --> 00:16:28,736
What, that's true?
223
00:16:28,737 --> 00:16:30,196
It is, yes.
224
00:16:30,197 --> 00:16:35,256
It is so a man can work the next day,
225
00:16:35,257 --> 00:16:38,026
and swords remain in scabbards.
226
00:16:41,867 --> 00:16:43,746
But they must not.
227
00:16:50,257 --> 00:16:51,896
Somebody needs a bed.
228
00:16:55,367 --> 00:16:57,106
And you will stay with him?
229
00:16:57,107 --> 00:16:58,036
And do what?
230
00:16:58,037 --> 00:17:01,136
If he needs to piss or spew
up, you'll fetch him a bucket.
231
00:17:01,137 --> 00:17:04,036
I have a plan, though
it is likely I will die.
232
00:17:06,107 --> 00:17:08,686
What is this plan, Lord, tell me?
233
00:17:10,937 --> 00:17:13,976
I will raise the Devonshire fyrd.
234
00:17:13,977 --> 00:17:19,366
Against the King's wishes, Lord? That
is not something he would forgive.
235
00:17:19,367 --> 00:17:21,386
Lord?!
236
00:17:26,917 --> 00:17:28,466
He will go nowhere.
237
00:17:28,696 --> 00:17:30,678
And you will go nowhere
238
00:17:30,679 --> 00:17:33,097
and you will say nothing
about what you have just heard.
239
00:17:33,132 --> 00:17:35,166
- Yes, Lord.
- You mean, "No, Lord".
240
00:17:37,187 --> 00:17:38,726
- I...
- Do aslsay.
241
00:18:23,547 --> 00:18:25,746
[SNORING]
242
00:18:31,607 --> 00:18:33,906
So, what does it say?
243
00:18:33,907 --> 00:18:36,536
Erik has enough oathmen to crew a ship.
244
00:18:36,537 --> 00:18:39,536
Three nights before the first
of the metal is to be delivered,
245
00:18:39,537 --> 00:18:42,256
we make our way down river to Beamfleot.
246
00:18:42,257 --> 00:18:44,456
We kill the men that
stand guard over the ships.
247
00:18:44,457 --> 00:18:47,216
Erik and Aethelflaed sail
away. And Wessex is saved.
248
00:18:47,217 --> 00:18:51,256
- How many guards?
- Eight or ten, on the shore.
249
00:18:51,257 --> 00:18:52,566
- That is all?
- Yes.
250
00:18:52,567 --> 00:18:53,786
It's as simple as that?
251
00:18:53,787 --> 00:18:56,126
Erik is in command, his
men guard Aethelflaed,
252
00:18:56,127 --> 00:18:58,476
his ship is ready and waiting.
253
00:18:58,477 --> 00:19:01,426
It begins, it's simple.
What happens is fate.
254
00:19:01,427 --> 00:19:03,536
Well, why go by river and not horseback?
255
00:19:03,537 --> 00:19:08,546
If we go with the tide it'll be faster,
and to escape we tow across river.
256
00:19:08,547 --> 00:19:09,766
They will follow you.
257
00:19:09,767 --> 00:19:13,796
They will follow
Aethelflaed. She's the silver.
258
00:19:31,897 --> 00:19:33,306
Father Pyrlig?
259
00:19:33,307 --> 00:19:36,486
Lord. You came from nowhere,
like the devil himself.
260
00:19:36,487 --> 00:19:38,366
You're leaving us?
261
00:19:38,367 --> 00:19:43,286
I am. I've invited myself to
Devonshire with the Lord 0dda.
262
00:19:43,287 --> 00:19:46,426
Looking forward to cooling my
feet in the blue waters of the sea.
263
00:19:46,427 --> 00:19:48,066
You're spying for Alfred.
264
00:19:48,067 --> 00:19:50,746
Of course I'm spying for
Alfred, I despise the sea.
265
00:19:53,087 --> 00:19:55,896
Should 0dda decide to do anything rash,
266
00:19:55,897 --> 00:19:58,856
you will tell him to hold fast?
267
00:19:58,857 --> 00:20:01,146
And why should he listen to me?
268
00:20:01,147 --> 00:20:03,586
Do you have a reason
you would like to share?
269
00:20:05,967 --> 00:20:07,106
He is behind you.
270
00:20:08,787 --> 00:20:11,556
Lord? Did you sleep well?
271
00:20:11,557 --> 00:20:15,076
Uhtred, I did, soundly.
272
00:20:15,077 --> 00:20:18,436
Though I'm not sure how I found my bed.
273
00:20:18,437 --> 00:20:22,246
You were a little worse for
ale, Lord, but no bother.
274
00:20:22,247 --> 00:20:24,916
I'm glad to hear it.
275
00:20:24,917 --> 00:20:26,506
You spoke of a plan.
276
00:20:29,087 --> 00:20:30,116
I did?
277
00:20:30,117 --> 00:20:31,616
Mm-hm.
278
00:20:31,617 --> 00:20:33,216
Am I to be reminded?
279
00:20:34,197 --> 00:20:35,936
The men of Devonshire.
280
00:20:36,917 --> 00:20:38,656
They should remain in the fields.
281
00:20:40,617 --> 00:20:42,265
I must have been very drunk.
282
00:20:42,266 --> 00:20:45,175
It can be the only explanation, Lord.
283
00:20:45,176 --> 00:20:46,535
Yes.
284
00:20:46,536 --> 00:20:47,755
You swear?
285
00:20:47,756 --> 00:20:51,925
On my life. I have no
memory of it whatsoever.
286
00:20:53,336 --> 00:20:58,905
Lord, I dare say this to you
as your friend, do nothing.
287
00:21:00,596 --> 00:21:04,345
If I do not see you again,
Uhtred of Bebbanburg,
288
00:21:04,346 --> 00:21:09,835
I wish you good luck,
wherever fate may take you.
289
00:21:09,836 --> 00:21:11,425
Thank you, Lord.
290
00:21:32,896 --> 00:21:35,475
Should we pray, Lord? Together?
291
00:21:37,726 --> 00:21:41,895
Am I being selfish, in
wanting to spare Aethelflaed?
292
00:21:43,256 --> 00:21:49,115
Lord, you were her father
before you were a king.
293
00:21:49,116 --> 00:21:54,505
But your reasons stand
- she is Wessex.
294
00:21:55,726 --> 00:21:59,195
She's the blood, the heart
and the spirit of Wessex.
295
00:22:01,076 --> 00:22:02,945
She cannot be humiliated.
296
00:22:30,836 --> 00:22:32,004
Dagfinn!
297
00:22:32,906 --> 00:22:34,340
Dagfinn!
298
00:22:34,376 --> 00:22:35,507
Where is she?
299
00:22:35,584 --> 00:22:36,652
Lord? I...
300
00:22:36,834 --> 00:22:38,475
Where is she?
301
00:22:49,976 --> 00:22:54,885
Now it is clear. Each man
has a right to see her.
302
00:22:55,586 --> 00:22:59,735
And every man will
guard her with his life!
303
00:23:03,156 --> 00:23:07,325
She is our wealth.
She belongs to us all!
304
00:23:07,326 --> 00:23:09,675
[CHEERING]
305
00:23:23,176 --> 00:23:24,775
Dear God!
306
00:23:24,776 --> 00:23:26,415
Who might they be?
307
00:23:26,416 --> 00:23:29,745
They are the Devonshire
fyrd, Father Pyrlig.
308
00:23:32,976 --> 00:23:36,585
You are here as Alfred's
spy. You will go no further.
309
00:23:36,586 --> 00:23:39,115
You will get down from your
horse and you will walk back to
310
00:23:39,116 --> 00:23:40,855
Winchester with your news.
311
00:23:40,856 --> 00:23:43,565
And what news is that,
Lord? What do you mean?
312
00:23:43,566 --> 00:23:47,555
You will tell the King that 0dda is
marching against the enemies of Wessex.
313
00:23:47,556 --> 00:23:50,225
He can either march to
halt me or march to join me,
314
00:23:50,226 --> 00:23:51,865
it does not matter which.
315
00:23:51,866 --> 00:23:56,465
Once the Northmen at Beamfleot
see an army, battle will follow.
316
00:23:56,466 --> 00:23:59,605
Please, Lord. Think about what you are
doing, you are making traitors of your men!
317
00:23:59,606 --> 00:24:03,355
The men you see are here to die
for their King, not betray him.
318
00:24:04,386 --> 00:24:06,825
They know nothing of Alfred's weakness.
319
00:24:06,826 --> 00:24:09,965
But Uhtred, Lord! Did he
not ask you to do nothing?
320
00:24:09,966 --> 00:24:13,155
You will get down from your horse
and you will return to Winchester.
321
00:24:13,156 --> 00:24:14,415
And if I refuse?
322
00:24:15,726 --> 00:24:17,605
Now, Father Pyrlig.
323
00:24:30,966 --> 00:24:34,015
Lord, I beg you, think again.
324
00:25:01,436 --> 00:25:02,465
Thank you.
325
00:25:05,706 --> 00:25:06,965
What's your name?
326
00:25:31,716 --> 00:25:33,685
I asked for ten, Dagfinn!
327
00:25:34,856 --> 00:25:38,185
How are we supposed to scrub
down a ship with three men?
328
00:25:38,186 --> 00:25:40,535
The men refuse to leave the hall, Lord.
329
00:25:41,566 --> 00:25:43,435
Refuse?
330
00:25:43,436 --> 00:25:46,205
They say they are
protecting their wealth,
331
00:25:46,206 --> 00:25:48,545
under the orders of Sigefrid.
332
00:25:48,546 --> 00:25:49,955
Who said this? Name them.
333
00:25:55,676 --> 00:25:59,615
Your brother has called for more
guards, Lord, until the metal comes.
334
00:26:01,296 --> 00:26:02,285
Erik!
335
00:26:04,256 --> 00:26:06,225
You have been sleeping at the river.
336
00:26:07,766 --> 00:26:09,455
Why?
337
00:26:09,456 --> 00:26:10,865
You have made a fool of me.
338
00:26:14,516 --> 00:26:17,095
You have humped her enough.
339
00:26:17,096 --> 00:26:19,865
You have fed and washed her enough.
340
00:26:21,036 --> 00:26:23,985
Do not allow the men to see
what I know for certain -
341
00:26:23,986 --> 00:26:25,545
you have grown too fond of her.
342
00:26:26,666 --> 00:26:29,755
It is not her arse you
want, it is herself.
343
00:26:29,756 --> 00:26:31,025
It will pass.
344
00:26:32,806 --> 00:26:33,975
You have shamed me.
345
00:26:36,506 --> 00:26:37,865
What I have done...
346
00:26:39,366 --> 00:26:40,725
is protect you.
347
00:26:42,976 --> 00:26:46,305
Erik, my brother, what is
happening around us is your plan.
348
00:26:46,306 --> 00:26:48,555
And it is a fine plan -
349
00:26:48,556 --> 00:26:51,225
to give up Lunden and take

on which we will build an army

00:26:55,356 --> 00:26:59,995
that no man will want to face
and every man will want to join.
352
00:27:02,146 --> 00:27:04,675
This will be our land.
353
00:27:06,416 --> 00:27:07,635
All of it.
354
00:27:10,726 --> 00:27:13,355
I will not allow us to fail.
355
00:27:16,776 --> 00:27:19,775
- Haesten! A guard every ten paces.
- Yes, Lord.
356
00:27:21,416 --> 00:27:25,545
Forgive me, Lord, it's not that
the men do not want to serve you.
357
00:27:26,806 --> 00:27:30,415
It is that they do not know
where your loyalties lie.

Are you lost, Father?
363
00:28:02,585 --> 00:28:04,594
Not lost but abandoned, Lord.
364
00:28:04,595 --> 00:28:07,504
I'm returning to Winchester with
an important message for Alfred.
365
00:28:07,505 --> 00:28:10,594
We're going to see Alfred.
Climb onto the cart.

370
00:28:45,525 --> 00:28:47,114
Can I say to you that I'm afraid?
371
00:28:50,115 --> 00:28:52,224
I wear a sword but
barely know how to use it.
372
00:28:53,915 --> 00:28:57,714
I pray that when battle
comes, I will not fail you.
373
00:28:58,745 --> 00:29:01,504
Osferth, at times we're all afraid.
374
00:29:01,505 --> 00:29:04,884
Courage is finding the will to
overcome yourfear, nothing more.
375
00:29:06,105 --> 00:29:09,664
Perhaps we'll find you an axe. It
requires less skill than a sword.
376
00:29:09,665 --> 00:29:11,494
But you must find the courage.
377
00:29:13,045 --> 00:29:14,914
Yes, Lord.
378
00:29:14,915 --> 00:29:16,604
Thank you, Lord.

381
00:29:44,355 --> 00:29:46,234
It is 0dda, Lord.
382
00:29:46,235 --> 00:29:48,764
Prior to leaving Winchester,
he senta man, some man,
383
00:29:48,765 --> 00:29:51,244
with word to raise the
fighting men of Devonshire.
384
00:29:51,245 --> 00:29:53,214
He has now met them on the road, Lord.
385
00:29:53,215 --> 00:29:55,324
With the intention of doing what?
386
00:29:55,325 --> 00:29:57,524
He is marching against Beamfleot.
387
00:29:57,525 --> 00:29:58,984
Yes, Lord, he is.
388
00:30:15,625 --> 00:30:17,034
Damn him.
389
00:30:19,655 --> 00:30:20,924
I say damn him.
390
00:30:25,935 --> 00:30:27,154
Lord, are we to stop him?
391
00:30:27,155 --> 00:30:28,844
We have no other choice but to stop him!
392
00:30:28,845 --> 00:30:31,234
- We must stop him.
- Lord, may I ask, where is Uhtred?
393
00:30:31,235 --> 00:30:33,344
He was not beside 0dda,
if that is your meaning.
394
00:30:33,345 --> 00:30:36,154
And it cannot have been Uhtred who
carried the message to Devonshire.
395
00:30:36,155 --> 00:30:37,894
Aethelred, you have
how many men with you?
396
00:30:37,895 --> 00:30:40,234
0ver 50, Lord. Household
guard. I can send for many more.
397

You will do that. Rest
your men and horses,
398
00:30:42,295 --> 00:30:44,594
but you will join me and my
own guard before first light.

If we are to halt 0dda,

00:30:46,285 --> 00:30:49,754
we must march day and

overcome these hardships...

be no more than eight or ten.

He cannot count.

00:32:08,135 --> 00:32:10,574
No, Lord, it has never
been more than ten men.

Rypere's group will strike
first from the water.

- Two each.

know that this woman here...

the Princess and put her in a cage.

Lord, as you appear to have
marched an army to their door,

believe you are not here to fight.
