Product Information

After a drawn-out fight with the retainers over the damaged crop, Einar is still standing, and the retainers decide to withdraw. Thorfinn is unconscious but finds himself hanging by his fingertips above a blood-soaked eternal battlefield where he is confronted by images from his violent past and the countless people he has killed. He sees Askeladd who reminds him not to return to the pointless warrior's life, prompting Thorfinn to break free from the grasping corpses and return to the surface. He regains consciousness to find Einar also suffering from his injuries and Thorfinn swears an oath to reject violence and atone for his past. Meanwhile, Pater presents evidence of the retainer's mischief to Ketil who decides that there will be no retribution against Einar and Thorfinn and declares that the destruction of their crop was caused by wild boars.

Leif arrives at the farm with Thorgil, Olmar, and Ketil, the latter two still shaken by the events in Jelling. Thorgil starts readying the men at the farm for the impending battle with Canute. While Thorfinn and Einar await their punishment, Thorfinn contemplates an alternative to violence for resolving conflicts. When Ketil learns of Arnheid's escape attempt, he loses his temper and savagely beats her, even when she reveals that she is carrying his child. Snake eventually stops him, and Leif offers to buy her along with Thorfinn and Einar, but Ketil refuses to release her. Einar is devastated and enraged by the brutal beating of Arnheid, while Ketil angrily prepares to defend his land against the king.

As Askeladd and his men cross northern Mercia, they are caught in early winter snows. Cold and hungry, they come across a village of Christians and pillage it, taking all of their food. They kill the villagers so that no-one can reveal their location. The only survivor is a young woman who was in the woods outside the village seeking penitence because of a cheap ring she had stolen at a fair. Critical response to the series was positive for the handling of the Vikings' violence and fight sequences. The second season earned similar responses but for focusing on slavery and Thorfinn's mental state as he instead does mundane works rather than fights. Loveridge, Lynzee (February 15, 2020).
