He's looking for land,

Earl Ragnar and I made peace.

Perhaps then you could be
at peace with yourself.

LOTHBROK: King Horik, your behavior
has made it very difficult

41
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,369
to talk peace or to
negotiate with King Ecbert.

42
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,683
I never had any intention of
negotiating with King Ecbert.

43

I thought you
were aware of that.

44
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,204
I only want revenge.
I want to kill King Ecbert.

45
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,521
And then, perhaps,
I shall talk to him.

46
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,125
If we defeat Ecbert in battle, he
may be prepared to offer us more,

of gold, but of land.

50
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,167

The Seer would know.

68
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,690
He is not truly dead.
That is his curse.

69
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,287
He told me
something about you.

That you would marry
the daughter of a King,

Nothing could injure
Odin's favorite son.

81

The gods even
tested the oaths.

82
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,010
They threw
stones at him,

83
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,731

with axes,

84
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:04,127
and slashed at him
with swords,

85
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,846
but it seems nothing
could harm Balder.

86
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,761

impossible to harm Balder.

distaste and impatience.

89

Suffering and pain were
meat and drink to him.

90
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,287
And it sickened him to see
how Balder was immune

of attacks.

that even the complete

of their incursions.

the opposite.

The only way to bring an
end to these incursions

278

is to negotiate an agreement
that is good for both sides.

King Aelle,

280

buying the services of these

281
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:54,330

to overcome Mercia.
