00:17:11,906 --> 00:17:12,990
We're brothers.

181
00:17:16,118 --> 00:17:17,286
We're blood.

182
00:17:23,668 --> 00:17:24,961
[Whimpers]

183
00:17:27,755 --> 00:17:28,881
[Sighs]

184
00:17:28,965 --> 00:17:32,301
[Pyrlig] To the woods!
Hide there until it's safe to come back.

185
00:17:33,094 --> 00:17:35,972
These men will take you to the others.
Do not be afraid.

186
00:18:06,252 --> 00:18:08,713
You might as well have a bell
around your neck, boy.

187
00:18:08,796 --> 00:18:10,006
[Aethelstan] I'm sorry.

188
00:18:11,382 --> 00:18:12,800
[Uhtred] Look, bodies.

189
00:18:14,594 --> 00:18:16,387
[Uhtred] She came this way.

190
00:18:28,858 --> 00:18:30,610
Maybe we should fetch the others.

191
00:18:48,586 --> 00:18:49,712
[Grunts]

192
00:18:52,256 --> 00:18:53,841
[Exhales] I'm sorry.

193
00:18:54,342 --> 00:18:56,719
Your first battle, it is common.

194
00:18:57,595 --> 00:19:01,098
I emptied my guts into my brother
ragnar's helmet after my first.

195
00:19:03,934 --> 00:19:05,186
You did well.

196
00:19:06,312 --> 00:19:09,023
Fetch the others,
tell them brida is traveling north.

197
00:19:09,106 --> 00:19:11,150
- I'll go ahead.
- Uhtred, no.

198
00:19:11,233 --> 00:19:14,487
Brida escaped.
It was not your doing, you know that.

199
00:19:16,030 --> 00:19:17,865
You must stop blaming yourself.

200
00:19:18,407 --> 00:19:19,909
She did not escape.

201
00:19:21,952 --> 00:19:22,995
I let her go.

202
00:19:42,932 --> 00:19:44,684
[Horse whinnies]

203
00:19:44,767 --> 00:19:45,976
Can this be true?

204
00:19:46,477 --> 00:19:50,106
The priest was quite certain
lady aethelflaed will not see the spring.

205
00:19:52,733 --> 00:19:55,569
The king has received no word
from his sister.

206
00:19:58,489 --> 00:20:03,411
It seems she will not seek
the support of wessex

207
00:20:03,953 --> 00:20:05,746
before she names her successor.

208
00:20:06,247 --> 00:20:08,249
She only needs
the mercian witan's approval.

209
00:20:08,332 --> 00:20:11,127
They will all seek the throne
for their own sons.

210
00:20:11,752 --> 00:20:14,922
Whoever she names
will have a bloody battle on his hands.

211
00:20:15,005 --> 00:20:16,048
Mmm.

212
00:20:20,010 --> 00:20:23,347
Unless she intends the throne
for the lady aelfwynn.

213
00:20:23,431 --> 00:20:24,598
[Scoffs] Her daughter?

214
00:20:25,182 --> 00:20:28,561
What, you really think the witan would
put aside their own ambitions so easily?

215
00:20:28,644 --> 00:20:32,606
They won't like it,
but there is an argument to be made

216
00:20:33,274 --> 00:20:35,443
for peaceful continuity.

217
00:20:35,526 --> 00:20:39,613
It avoids the infighting,
which we saw at aethelred's passing.

218
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,117
But perhaps that is not the only solution.

219
00:20:44,201 --> 00:20:45,286
You have someone in mind?

220
00:20:47,496 --> 00:20:51,459
Who better than my grandson aelfweard?

221
00:20:52,418 --> 00:20:53,961
He is nephew to the lady.

222
00:20:54,044 --> 00:20:58,883
He is a far more suitable choice
to continue her line

223
00:20:58,966 --> 00:21:03,429
and he is young enough that the ealdormen
will believe they can influence him.

224
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:04,930
They will need persuading.

225
00:21:05,014 --> 00:21:07,266
[Chuckles] Indeed.

226
00:21:09,643 --> 00:21:12,354
We must proceed with caution.

227
00:21:13,522 --> 00:21:17,568
Find out how loyal
the witan are to aethelflaed.

228
00:21:17,651 --> 00:21:19,487
I can send word to our friends
in aegelesburg.

229
00:21:19,570 --> 00:21:22,990
Yes. Do it quickly.
This will not stay secret long.

230
00:21:23,073 --> 00:21:26,118
Mmm. Not if that arseling priest
has anything to do with it.

231
00:21:31,248 --> 00:21:32,291
[Sihtric] Lord!

232
00:21:33,834 --> 00:21:36,462
If brida passed this way,
it was hours ago.

233
00:21:36,545 --> 00:21:38,839
We could always return at daybreak, lord.

234
00:21:38,923 --> 00:21:42,134
With more men from eofennic,
we could spread the search wider.

235
00:21:42,218 --> 00:21:44,678
It will be too late. We must keep looking.

236
00:21:44,762 --> 00:21:46,639
The trail is cold, uhtred.

237
00:21:46,722 --> 00:21:48,766
[Horse whinnies]

238
00:22:00,903 --> 00:22:02,363
We return to eofennic.

239
00:22:06,951 --> 00:22:08,118
You will find her.

240
00:22:09,078 --> 00:22:10,120
Yes, I will.

241
00:22:15,209 --> 00:22:16,293
Lord king.

242
00:22:17,711 --> 00:22:21,423
I've had word from mercia
that my men never reached sigtryggr.

243
00:22:21,507 --> 00:22:23,676
Aethelflaed sent no help to eofennic.

244
00:22:24,844 --> 00:22:25,970
[Aethelhelm] I see.

245
00:22:26,887 --> 00:22:27,972
I do not understand it.

246
00:22:28,055 --> 00:22:31,016
Why would my sister endanger
the peace so recklessly?

247
00:22:32,226 --> 00:22:36,647
Perhaps the lady aethelflaed has done
what wessex should have done long ago

248
00:22:36,730 --> 00:22:38,983
and cut ties with the enemy within.

249
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:41,360
No, this is not like her.

250
00:22:42,111 --> 00:22:45,781
And why has there been no word
from pyrlig? [Breathes deeply]

251
00:22:48,033 --> 00:22:51,370
I will send a messenger to aegelesburg.
We are missing something.

252
00:23:02,339 --> 00:23:04,550
Come on. You need to drink
to your first victory.

253
00:23:04,633 --> 00:23:07,970
This is the part where we usually enjoy
the gratitude of the local women.

254
00:23:08,053 --> 00:23:09,179
If brida left any.

255
00:23:39,752 --> 00:23:41,086
I was blind.

256
00:23:42,087 --> 00:23:45,382
I opened the gates
and I let the wolves among my people.

257
00:23:45,466 --> 00:23:46,675
You led us to victory.

258
00:23:46,759 --> 00:23:50,429
Eofennic is restored, stiorra's safe.

259
00:23:51,388 --> 00:23:54,767
They have all betrayed me.
Not just the one I called brother.

260
00:23:54,850 --> 00:23:59,355
I've been weak. I kept silent
as the christians poisoned my people.

261
00:24:02,650 --> 00:24:03,817
I share your anger.

262
00:24:06,028 --> 00:24:09,198
- But the truce is held...
- The truce? There was no truce.

263
00:24:10,032 --> 00:24:11,951
It was all lies and trickery.

264
00:24:13,202 --> 00:24:16,956
The christians' words are as false
as the god they pretend to love.

265
00:24:17,039 --> 00:24:18,749
And I was a fool to trust them.

266
00:24:19,416 --> 00:24:20,584
I think you're wrong.

267
00:24:20,668 --> 00:24:22,336
Why? Why do you defend them?

268
00:24:23,045 --> 00:24:25,005
If brida had threatened Christian mercia,

269
00:24:25,089 --> 00:24:27,591
do you think Edward would have looked
the other way?

270
00:24:29,343 --> 00:24:33,389
But when Danes are under attack,
he turns against us.

271
00:24:34,306 --> 00:24:38,644
Uhtred, we are heathens to be sacrificed,
nothing more.

272
00:24:38,727 --> 00:24:42,356
Pyrlig said Edward did send men to mercia
intended for your aid.

273
00:24:42,439 --> 00:24:44,692
You have won how many battles for them?

274
00:24:44,775 --> 00:24:46,193
This is how they repay you?

275
00:24:46,902 --> 00:24:48,028
They dishonor you.

276
00:24:48,946 --> 00:24:50,280
They abandon your daughter.

277
00:24:50,948 --> 00:24:52,574
They do not have your oath.

278
00:24:53,325 --> 00:24:55,411
They forfeit your allegiance.

279
00:24:58,998 --> 00:25:01,250
Swear your loyalty to me.

280
00:25:03,419 --> 00:25:04,670
Stand beside your kin.

281
00:25:11,051 --> 00:25:12,094
[Sigtryggr] Hmm?

282
00:25:14,638 --> 00:25:15,723
[Sighs]

283
00:25:18,767 --> 00:25:20,227
My place is in rumcofa.

284
00:25:27,651 --> 00:25:28,736
[Sigtryggr] Mmm.

285
00:26:00,017 --> 00:26:02,102
[Indistinct chatter]

286
00:26:06,106 --> 00:26:07,816
[Stiorra] Father, sigtryggr is...

287
00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:13,989
His brother's betrayal,
there's a shadow on him now.

288
00:26:14,990 --> 00:26:18,410
[Uhtred] His pride is wounded.
He needs time to heal.

289
00:26:18,494 --> 00:26:21,705
It's not just his pride.
I know you see it too.

290
00:26:24,124 --> 00:26:26,376
He needs your guidance.
He'll listen to you.

291
00:26:29,630 --> 00:26:30,672
Will you stay?

292
00:26:49,399 --> 00:26:52,027
[Eadith] Drink this.
It'll help you sleep, lady.

293
00:26:52,861 --> 00:26:54,113
You have a slight fever.

294
00:26:54,655 --> 00:26:57,699
I shouldn't sleep
until father Benedict has visited.

295
00:26:58,492 --> 00:27:02,329
My mother was never going to let me
travel home without a priest.

296
00:27:02,412 --> 00:27:04,915
Benedict is here, my dearest.

297
00:27:05,541 --> 00:27:08,794
The lady should rest tonight.
She is weakened from the journey.

298
00:27:09,628 --> 00:27:13,841
She will be healed by god's grace,
not your potions.

299
00:27:18,095 --> 00:27:20,848
[Sighs] Will you help me
with my robe, eadith?

300
00:27:21,348 --> 00:27:22,391
[Grunts]

301
00:27:32,234 --> 00:27:35,737
The sacrament of healing will restore you.

302
00:27:37,948 --> 00:27:42,035
[Father Benedict] "And the apostle said
unto them, 'is any sick among you?

303
00:27:42,619 --> 00:27:45,455
Let him summon the priests of the church.

304
00:27:46,790 --> 00:27:51,128
And let them pray over him,
anointing him with oil,

305
00:27:51,211 --> 00:27:54,506
in the name of the lord."'

306
00:27:55,507 --> 00:27:56,550
god is good.

307
00:28:15,569 --> 00:28:18,864
Per istam sanctam

308
00:28:18,947 --> 00:28:22,242
unctionem et suam...

309
00:28:23,410 --> 00:28:27,164
Piissiimam misericordiam...

310
00:28:28,916 --> 00:28:32,085
Indulgeat tibi...

311
00:28:32,878 --> 00:28:39,301
Dom/nus quidquid per visum...

312
00:28:41,053 --> 00:28:42,596
Del/guisti

313
00:28:44,890 --> 00:28:45,933
[exhales softly]

314
00:28:51,396 --> 00:28:53,357
Our friends in mercia have sent word.

315
00:28:53,982 --> 00:28:57,361
They say the lady aethelflaed
has allies among the ealdormen,

316
00:28:57,444 --> 00:29:01,073
but there are more who harbor bitterness
at her successes.

317
00:29:01,156 --> 00:29:04,159
Then they will name aelfweard as lord
when the time comes?

318
00:29:04,243 --> 00:29:07,287
[Chuckles] I believe most
will be led by their greed.

319
00:29:07,371 --> 00:29:08,455
[Aethelhelm] Mmm.

320
00:29:10,123 --> 00:29:12,209
You must leave immediately.

321
00:29:12,292 --> 00:29:13,919
Make sure the witan feels...

322
00:29:14,002 --> 00:29:15,045
[Coins jingle]

323
00:29:15,128 --> 00:29:16,588
Adequately respected.

324
00:29:17,547 --> 00:29:19,758
What if the lady returns
before I reach the ealdormen?

325
00:29:19,841 --> 00:29:22,469
That cannot happen. You must reach
aegelesburg before she does.

326
00:29:22,552 --> 00:29:26,848
I will follow with aelfweard
once I have broken the news to the king.

327
00:29:43,073 --> 00:29:44,658
The palace is stirring.

328
00:29:46,201 --> 00:29:47,911
I must not be seen here.

329
00:29:50,706 --> 00:29:51,748
[Clears throat]

330
00:29:54,918 --> 00:29:57,087
- It is early yet.
- [Eadgifu chuckles]

331
00:29:59,256 --> 00:30:02,175
Your wife has engaged me
in duties of the court.

332
00:30:02,259 --> 00:30:03,343
[Edward sighs]

333
00:30:03,427 --> 00:30:07,514
I believe I am to divert my energies
towards the art of embroidery.

334
00:30:07,597 --> 00:30:09,182
- Ah.
- [Eadgifu chuckles]

335
00:30:10,183 --> 00:30:12,894
I hear she is greatly enthused
by a farm girl

336
00:30:12,978 --> 00:30:15,564
who was blessed with
a visitation from St...

337
00:30:17,024 --> 00:30:18,608
Cuthbert, I think.

338
00:30:19,901 --> 00:30:22,362
The queen wishes the ladies of Winchester

339
00:30:22,446 --> 00:30:25,490
to construct a grand tapestry
in the Saint's honor.

340
00:30:26,116 --> 00:30:28,035
- Of course she does.
- [Chuckles]

341
00:30:28,118 --> 00:30:31,371
In truth, I think she wishes
to keep an eye on me.

342
00:30:31,997 --> 00:30:34,207
- I will deal with her.
- No, there's no need.

343
00:30:35,876 --> 00:30:38,003
I do not wish to cause her pain.

344
00:30:46,178 --> 00:30:48,096
You will return tonight?

345
00:30:50,807 --> 00:30:52,851
Is that my king's command?

346
00:30:54,519 --> 00:30:55,604
It is my hope.

347
00:30:59,524 --> 00:31:00,567
[Knock on door]

348
00:31:03,445 --> 00:31:06,031
A thousand pardons for the hour...

349
00:31:11,078 --> 00:31:12,120
Lord aethelhelm.

350
00:31:20,379 --> 00:31:21,421
Well?

351
00:31:22,964 --> 00:31:25,675
- [Door closes]
- [Aethelhelm clears throat]

352
00:31:26,927 --> 00:31:29,679
There is no easy way
to deliver news of this kind.

353
00:31:33,642 --> 00:31:36,895
I have received sad tidings from mercia.

354
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:41,900
Your sister is gravely ill, lord king.

355
00:31:43,193 --> 00:31:45,153
She is not long for this world.

356
00:31:45,237 --> 00:31:46,363
Impossible.

357
00:31:47,697 --> 00:31:49,074
- There is no doubt.
- No.

358
00:31:49,157 --> 00:31:52,744
Why would your spies learn this
before the king?

359
00:31:52,828 --> 00:31:54,663
We have seen in the past

360
00:31:54,746 --> 00:32:01,211
how the matter of the mercian succession
can give rise to disorder.

361
00:32:01,294 --> 00:32:03,797
I imagine the lady wished

362
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:08,427
to keep the matter of her condition secret
for as long as possible.

363
00:32:09,678 --> 00:32:10,720
It cannot be.

364
00:32:12,931 --> 00:32:14,307
I am deeply sorry.

365
00:32:18,937 --> 00:32:22,983
Of course this explains why
the lady did not raise the mercian army

366
00:32:23,066 --> 00:32:24,317
to aid eofennic.

367
00:32:27,612 --> 00:32:32,325
In any case, there are reports
that sigtryggr has recaptured his city.

368
00:32:33,952 --> 00:32:35,245
A small mercy.

369
00:32:38,373 --> 00:32:39,791
Thank you, lord aethelhelm.

370
00:32:46,047 --> 00:32:47,549
You will travel to mercia?

371
00:32:52,804 --> 00:32:55,640
Forgive me.
I will intrude on your grief no longer.

372
00:32:59,144 --> 00:33:00,854
[Door opens]

373
00:33:02,522 --> 00:33:03,565
[Door closes]

374
00:33:09,905 --> 00:33:12,115
- [Finan] Lord.
- Finan, did you find pyrlig?

375
00:33:12,199 --> 00:33:14,784
Uh, I searched until nightfall.
There was no sign.

376
00:33:15,285 --> 00:33:16,870
He must have traveled back to the king.

377
00:33:18,288 --> 00:33:19,456
That is not like him.

378
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:23,668
Uhtred, forgive me. We... we must speak.

379
00:33:23,752 --> 00:33:26,796
We go after brida.
We can talk on the journey.

380
00:33:30,592 --> 00:33:32,469
[Softly] It's the lady aethelflaed.

381
00:33:52,822 --> 00:33:54,032
Lord aldhelm!

382
00:33:56,243 --> 00:33:58,620
[Eadith] She lives but her strength fades.

383
00:33:58,703 --> 00:34:02,123
She doesn't want her condition to be known
until matters are resolved.

384
00:34:02,207 --> 00:34:04,459
She will need your help
to enter the palace.

385
00:34:39,578 --> 00:34:42,998
[Stammering] She...
She will not see the spring.

386
00:34:50,589 --> 00:34:52,674
But she was in good health in rumcofa.

387
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,553
You must be mistaken in this, finan.

388
00:34:56,636 --> 00:34:58,305
I-I wish I was mistaken.

389
00:34:59,347 --> 00:35:00,724
She does not have long.

390
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,906
And you concealed this from me?

391
00:35:19,492 --> 00:35:22,996
Eadith begged me to wait until
the battle was won before I told you.

392
00:35:23,496 --> 00:35:24,682
Your mind was on your daughter.

393
00:35:24,706 --> 00:35:27,667
It would've been wrong
for me to add to your troubles.

394
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,172
I'm sorry, uhtred.

395
00:35:40,805 --> 00:35:41,848
It cannot be.

396
00:35:43,558 --> 00:35:44,601
It cannot be.

397
00:35:44,684 --> 00:35:46,853
You have loved each other for many years.

398
00:35:48,021 --> 00:35:51,983
We've all seen it,
even if the lady cannot speak of it.

399
00:35:52,067 --> 00:35:56,988
So I know the pain you've carried
since she took her vow.

400
00:35:59,449 --> 00:36:01,368
She would want you to be with her, uhtred.

401
00:36:02,661 --> 00:36:03,953
You must go to her.

402
00:36:06,873 --> 00:36:09,167
[Voice breaking]
I thought one day we might...

403
00:36:11,753 --> 00:36:13,380
I thought there would be more...

404
00:36:16,257 --> 00:36:18,843
[Breathes deeply]

405
00:36:18,927 --> 00:36:20,804
There is so much I should have said.

406
00:36:25,392 --> 00:36:26,685
There's still time.

407
00:36:39,406 --> 00:36:40,865
We ride to aegelesburg.

408
00:36:40,949 --> 00:36:41,991
Stiorra!

409
00:36:43,827 --> 00:36:45,787
- [Stiorra] Father?
- [Uhtred sniffles]

410
00:36:47,664 --> 00:36:48,707
Father?

411
00:36:53,753 --> 00:36:55,130
Lady aethelflaed is dying.

412
00:36:56,589 --> 00:36:57,882
I'm so sorry, father.

413
00:36:59,467 --> 00:37:00,510
I must go to her.

414
00:37:02,387 --> 00:37:06,558
If mercia finds itself without a leader
once more, you must be careful.

415
00:37:08,059 --> 00:37:09,436
You could come with us.

416
00:37:10,770 --> 00:37:13,231
It could help
heal the rift between your lands.

417
00:37:13,982 --> 00:37:17,277
No. My place is here with sigtryggr.

418
00:37:18,611 --> 00:37:19,738
Yes, it is.

419
00:37:25,702 --> 00:37:26,870
[Uhtred sniffles]

420
00:37:49,601 --> 00:37:50,643
[Horse whinnies]

421
00:38:08,244 --> 00:38:09,537
We must keep moving.

422
00:38:11,414 --> 00:38:12,457
[Brida sniffles]

423
00:38:13,583 --> 00:38:14,667
What about the last one?

424
00:38:15,835 --> 00:38:16,961
Should I kill him here?

425
00:38:24,803 --> 00:38:25,845
He comes with us.

426
00:38:29,557 --> 00:38:31,226
The gods delivered him to me.

427
00:38:31,309 --> 00:38:32,519
They will show me why.

428
00:38:45,907 --> 00:38:46,950
Mother?

429
00:38:48,326 --> 00:38:49,369
I am here.

430
00:38:50,703 --> 00:38:53,498
[Breathes shakily] Aelfwynn.
Where... where is she?

431
00:38:54,541 --> 00:38:57,919
The child should not see you this way,
dearone.

432
00:38:58,461 --> 00:39:00,505
Let us wait until you are a little better.

433
00:39:00,588 --> 00:39:03,132
Aelfwynn must be named as my successor.

434
00:39:04,425 --> 00:39:07,136
If she is on the throne,
she will be protected.

435
00:39:09,556 --> 00:39:11,224
I will fetch lady aelfwynn.

436
00:39:14,477 --> 00:39:18,773
- [Townspeople chattering]
- [Aelfwynn] He's here.

437
00:39:18,857 --> 00:39:21,317
- [Girl giggles]
- He's here. Come look! Come!

438
00:39:23,069 --> 00:39:24,571
[Chuckles]

439
00:39:24,654 --> 00:39:25,697
[Girls whisper]

440
00:39:26,948 --> 00:39:29,576
[All giggling]

441
00:39:32,787 --> 00:39:33,830
Lady aelfwynn.

442
00:39:40,503 --> 00:39:41,546
Your mother.

443
00:39:42,714 --> 00:39:45,967
[Aelfwynn] Is this about
how I brought shame on her in rumcofa?

444
00:39:46,509 --> 00:39:48,511
What more can there be to say
on the matter?

445
00:39:48,595 --> 00:39:50,471
Lady aethelflaed only wishes
to speak with you.

446
00:39:50,555 --> 00:39:53,224
My mother wishes only to chide me
for doing what she cannot.

447
00:39:53,308 --> 00:39:56,477
Your mother has given
everything she has for mercia!

448
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,147
To protect her people,
to protect you, her only child.

449
00:39:59,230 --> 00:40:01,417
You're not just her hope for
the future of this kingdom.

450
00:40:01,441 --> 00:40:03,067
You're her heart, aelfwynn.

451
00:40:04,777 --> 00:40:05,987
She thinks only of you.

452
00:40:12,076 --> 00:40:13,119
Come.

453
00:40:14,662 --> 00:40:15,872
She is eager to see you.

454
00:40:26,966 --> 00:40:28,092
Do you understand?

455
00:40:31,721 --> 00:40:36,184
Knowing my daughter will be lady of mercia
in my stead, it is all I wish.

456
00:40:38,102 --> 00:40:40,813
It will mean you are safe, aelfwynn.

457
00:40:42,523 --> 00:40:44,067
You must agree to this.

458
00:40:46,027 --> 00:40:48,404
- I'm not ready.
- [Aethelflaed] Listen to me.

459
00:40:49,238 --> 00:40:51,157
Word of my condition will spread.

460
00:40:52,408 --> 00:40:55,995
There are those who would seek to take
the throne for their own advancement.

461
00:40:56,704 --> 00:40:57,914
If they are successful,

462
00:40:57,997 --> 00:41:01,167
the first thing they will do is ensure
my daughter is disposed of.

463
00:41:01,793 --> 00:41:03,753
[Aelswith sighs] You frighten the child.

464
00:41:03,836 --> 00:41:06,547
She needs to know the truth.
There is no time...

465
00:41:08,007 --> 00:41:09,550
[Aethelflaed inhales sharply]

466
00:41:09,634 --> 00:41:10,677
It fades.

467
00:41:12,095 --> 00:41:13,137
Mother.

468
00:41:14,764 --> 00:41:16,182
Do you suffer greatly?

469
00:41:17,976 --> 00:41:19,978
[Sighs] Do not be afraid.

470
00:41:22,689 --> 00:41:25,149
I know there is much you must sacrifice.

471
00:41:27,318 --> 00:41:29,529
It is a choice I also faced.

472
00:41:31,739 --> 00:41:33,700
I do not pretend it was easy.

473
00:41:36,077 --> 00:41:37,453
But you will not be alone.

474
00:41:37,537 --> 00:41:40,873
[Breathes heavily]

475
00:41:41,666 --> 00:41:43,126
[Aelfwynn] I will be strong.

476
00:41:45,503 --> 00:41:46,629
[Sniffles]

477
00:41:46,713 --> 00:41:47,755
[Breathes shakily]

478
00:41:47,839 --> 00:41:51,801
I'll do as you wish.
I'll serve as queen when you're gone.

479
00:41:55,304 --> 00:41:57,056
The witan will stand behind you.

480
00:41:58,474 --> 00:41:59,684
I am sure of it.

481
00:41:59,767 --> 00:42:02,645
[Breathing heavily]

482
00:42:03,604 --> 00:42:04,647
[Aelfwynn sniffles]

483
00:42:08,109 --> 00:42:09,527
Come now, aelfwynn.

484
00:42:10,445 --> 00:42:12,196
Let us visit the church together.

485
00:42:16,034 --> 00:42:18,870
[Aelfwynn sniffling]

486
00:42:21,497 --> 00:42:22,540
[Exhales]

487
00:42:24,417 --> 00:42:25,710
Mother?

488
00:42:28,046 --> 00:42:29,839
You must rest.

489
00:42:34,927 --> 00:42:40,600
[Coughing]

490
00:42:49,567 --> 00:42:52,070
[Aldhelm] It pains her
to see you this way.

491
00:42:54,405 --> 00:42:56,449
It is a dreadful thing to...

492
00:42:57,450 --> 00:42:59,285
To face the loss of a child.

493
00:43:03,456 --> 00:43:05,249
I hope you know I am grateful.

494
00:43:06,501 --> 00:43:11,547
Oh, uh... [clears throat]
Lady, there's no... no need.

495
00:43:14,675 --> 00:43:17,929
Will you do me one more service,
lord aldhelm?

496
00:43:20,348 --> 00:43:21,474
Anything.

497
00:43:23,726 --> 00:43:27,480
My daughter is young and willful.
[Chuckles]

498
00:43:29,148 --> 00:43:30,566
I know she is not ready.

499
00:43:31,859 --> 00:43:33,486
You must be her guide.

500
00:43:35,196 --> 00:43:36,280
Her adviser.

501
00:43:38,116 --> 00:43:39,200
She needs you.

502
00:43:40,326 --> 00:43:42,578
Mercia needs you.

503
00:43:45,039 --> 00:43:47,375
Of course. It will be my honor.

504
00:43:50,586 --> 00:43:52,755
No one has served mercia more faithfully.

505
00:43:54,507 --> 00:43:55,550
[Aethelflaed sighs]

506
00:43:56,634 --> 00:43:58,845
We must act quickly.

507
00:43:59,470 --> 00:44:02,181
[Voice breaking] I will
seek out the ealdormen. [Clears throat]

508
00:44:05,268 --> 00:44:08,354
Thank you, aldhelm.

509
00:44:31,961 --> 00:44:37,091
[Breathing heavily]

510
00:44:38,676 --> 00:44:40,720
If this sad news is true,

511
00:44:40,803 --> 00:44:44,599
how is it wessex has learned of it
before the ealdormen of mercia?

512
00:44:44,682 --> 00:44:48,644
Lord aethelhelm has many friends
across the kingdoms.

513
00:44:52,565 --> 00:44:56,903
All of you know the young lady aelfwynn
is not fit to rule.

514
00:45:00,364 --> 00:45:03,826
Does your master propose
an alternative solution?

515
00:45:03,910 --> 00:45:05,703
He does indeed, lord burgred.

516
00:45:06,704 --> 00:45:08,497
One he trusts you will all find...

517
00:45:08,581 --> 00:45:09,581
[Coins jingle]

518
00:45:09,624 --> 00:45:11,042
Advantageous.

519
00:45:13,502 --> 00:45:14,587
[Chuckles]

520
00:45:27,516 --> 00:45:30,686
[Murmuring indistinctly]

521
00:45:34,690 --> 00:45:38,361
We are greatly blessed to welcome
aalys and her pilgrims to Winchester.

522
00:45:38,444 --> 00:45:39,654
[Edward] Indeed.

523
00:45:39,737 --> 00:45:41,781
This is the young woman from lewes?

524
00:45:42,448 --> 00:45:45,743
You see, the tapestry tells
of the deeds of St. cuthbert,

525
00:45:45,826 --> 00:45:47,245
the Saint she was visited by.

526
00:45:48,162 --> 00:45:49,914
[Aethelhelm] Hmm, remarkable.

527
00:45:50,957 --> 00:45:54,877
It is important the people see
your recognition of this miracle, Edward.

528
00:45:56,587 --> 00:45:58,005
Are you pleased with our work?

529
00:45:58,089 --> 00:46:01,842
God's glory shines through your laborers,
my lady.

530
00:46:02,843 --> 00:46:05,805
We will be glad to carry your offering
to the holy isle.

531
00:46:06,889 --> 00:46:10,893
- You will take this to lindisfarne?
- With your approval, lord king.

532
00:46:12,395 --> 00:46:16,065
You see, when I heard aalys was making
the pilgrimage to the holy isle,

533
00:46:16,148 --> 00:46:19,235
I knew you'd like to make
a king's blessing to their offering.

534
00:46:19,318 --> 00:46:21,445
It means so much to your people.

535
00:46:25,574 --> 00:46:26,993
Of course.

536
00:46:27,785 --> 00:46:29,328
God be with you on your journey.

537
00:46:32,373 --> 00:46:34,458
[Indistinct chatter]

538
00:46:38,129 --> 00:46:41,465
Do you understand
that your show of piety may be seen

539
00:46:41,549 --> 00:46:43,926
as wessex laying claim to the holy isle?

540
00:46:45,511 --> 00:46:48,347
King constantin wants lindisfarne
for Scotland.

541
00:46:48,431 --> 00:46:51,225
He could see this
as a deliberate act of provocation.

542
00:46:52,351 --> 00:46:53,394
I did not know.

543
00:46:53,477 --> 00:46:56,397
[Edward breathes deeply]

544
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:57,565
You did not ask.

545
00:47:05,614 --> 00:47:06,657
[Aalys] Lady.

546
00:47:08,326 --> 00:47:10,578
God knows your heart.

547
00:47:11,412 --> 00:47:14,790
- He feels your pain as his own.
- [Aelflaed sniffles]

548
00:47:15,624 --> 00:47:16,792
I will pray for you.

549
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:23,174
That you will know god's will
for your life and his peace in your heart.

550
00:47:26,260 --> 00:47:27,303
[Aelflaed sniffles]

551
00:47:31,057 --> 00:47:34,643
[Aethelhelm] This is not the moment
for you to provoke the king's displeasure.

552
00:47:34,727 --> 00:47:35,936
[Aelflaed] He disrespects me.

553
00:47:36,020 --> 00:47:38,481
And you will bear it
for the sake of your son.

554
00:47:39,398 --> 00:47:41,984
He is the only reason
we have a place here.

555
00:47:42,068 --> 00:47:44,737
I am aware of that,
but I'm tired of waiting...

556
00:47:44,820 --> 00:47:48,574
Aelfweard will be lord of mercia
within the week.

557
00:47:49,909 --> 00:47:54,205
There will be a witan
when the lady aethelflaed dies.

558
00:47:54,288 --> 00:47:58,292
And my grandson will be named
her successor.

559
00:48:01,837 --> 00:48:05,132
He has bribed the mercian ealdormen.
It is the only explanation.

560
00:48:05,716 --> 00:48:07,968
How long has he known
of my sister's plight?

561
00:48:09,637 --> 00:48:10,679
What will you do?

562
00:48:14,767 --> 00:48:16,102
[Edward] Lord aethelhelm.

563
00:48:22,316 --> 00:48:24,068
I will ride to aegelesburg.

564
00:48:25,569 --> 00:48:28,864
God willing, my sister will be spared
long enough to receive us.

565
00:48:30,658 --> 00:48:32,201
A wise decision, lord.

566
00:48:35,079 --> 00:48:39,291
I think it would be right if your son
were to travel with the delegation.

567
00:48:39,375 --> 00:48:41,460
Aelfweard is very fond of his aunt.

568
00:48:44,922 --> 00:48:47,174
Perhaps I could accompany him?

569
00:48:53,139 --> 00:48:55,516
He may be some comfort
to his cousin aelfwynn.

570
00:48:57,143 --> 00:48:58,310
The poor girl.

571
00:49:09,071 --> 00:49:11,740
[Finan] You'll see her, lord.
We'll not be too late!

572
00:49:17,079 --> 00:49:20,875
[Rognvaldr shouting in distance]
Sigtryggr! Brother!

573
00:49:22,293 --> 00:49:23,961
Sigtryggr!

574
00:49:24,044 --> 00:49:25,212
Sigtryggr!

575
00:49:26,088 --> 00:49:28,048
Sigtryggr!

576
00:49:28,549 --> 00:49:29,633
Brother!

577
00:49:30,885 --> 00:49:32,219
Sigtryggr!

578
00:49:33,179 --> 00:49:37,266
- Sigtryggr! Brother!
- [Banging]

579
00:49:41,770 --> 00:49:45,649
I know it is not an easy thing,
to condemn your brother to die.

580
00:49:48,694 --> 00:49:50,488
We are family!

581
00:49:54,783 --> 00:49:57,119
[Sobbing]

582
00:49:57,203 --> 00:49:58,704
You are tenderhearted.

583
00:50:00,372 --> 00:50:01,624
That's why I love you.

584
00:50:02,458 --> 00:50:05,336
[Sniffles] I know I must act.

585
00:50:06,170 --> 00:50:07,963
He must answer for his crimes.

586
00:50:12,593 --> 00:50:15,304
[Sighs] But all my life,
I have protected him.

587
00:50:22,144 --> 00:50:23,479
I do not know what to do.

588
00:50:24,313 --> 00:50:26,565
He does not deserve your mercy.

589
00:50:29,235 --> 00:50:31,278
Perhaps we could let the gods decide.

590
00:50:37,201 --> 00:50:38,244
[Rognvaldr gasps]

591
00:50:40,996 --> 00:50:42,039
Brother.

592
00:50:44,041 --> 00:50:45,668
[Laughs] Brother!

593
00:50:56,262 --> 00:50:57,304
Brother.

594
00:50:59,473 --> 00:51:01,267
[Sigtryggr] We are decided.

595
00:51:01,350 --> 00:51:03,143
You may choose a quick death here,

596
00:51:03,852 --> 00:51:06,438
or you may trust your fate
to a public trial,

597
00:51:07,356 --> 00:51:08,649
but you must choose now.

598
00:51:08,732 --> 00:51:13,404
[Laughing] A trial?

599
00:51:13,487 --> 00:51:16,574
[Stiorra] It's what you pretended to want
when you came here, wasn't it?

600
00:51:16,657 --> 00:51:19,076
A trial for your people under danelaw?

601
00:51:19,994 --> 00:51:22,079
[Panting]

602
00:51:28,544 --> 00:51:29,628
I know you.

603
00:51:30,629 --> 00:51:32,673
I know you are just.

604
00:51:33,632 --> 00:51:34,800
You're merciful.

605
00:51:37,720 --> 00:51:39,263
You will not condemn me.

606
00:51:39,346 --> 00:51:40,389
Choose!

607
00:51:46,103 --> 00:51:50,274
[Crowd shouting]

608
00:52:21,930 --> 00:52:23,432
You brought them here!

609
00:52:26,685 --> 00:52:27,770
[Grunts]

610
00:52:37,279 --> 00:52:39,239
[Roars]

611
00:52:42,701 --> 00:52:46,246
The prisoner will take the bar
in both hands!

612
00:52:46,330 --> 00:52:48,540
He will take nine steps,

613
00:52:48,624 --> 00:52:51,627
for the nine nights Odin hung
on the great tree.

614
00:52:51,710 --> 00:52:53,420
If he succeeds,

615
00:52:53,504 --> 00:52:56,674
the gods have favored him
and he will be pardoned.

616
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:00,803
But if he fails, the gods have cursed him.

617
00:53:03,597 --> 00:53:05,683
And my sword is ready!

618
00:53:05,766 --> 00:53:09,019
[Crowd cheers]

619
00:53:10,688 --> 00:53:11,814
Brother, I...

620
00:53:13,273 --> 00:53:14,566
We begin!

621
00:53:14,650 --> 00:53:18,237
[Crowd jeering]

622
00:53:46,140 --> 00:53:49,184
[Screams]

623
00:53:51,687 --> 00:53:56,275
[Continues screaming]
