Plots(1)
King Ecbert visits the developing Viking settlement as the first harvest is sown and rebuffs criticism from his leading nobles. In Mercia, the Wessex/Viking forces charge at the battle at the Hill of the Ash. In Kattegat, Harbard arrives in to the Great Hall and his mysterious aura fascinates Aslaug and Helga but Siggy remains suspicious. There are strange and tragic happenings in Kattegat, and Siggy suspects Harbard is the cause. (History Channel)

Paradoxically, far more interesting than the other big battle with a substantial thinning out of the favourite peasant fighters is the interestingly developing double relationship that could have far-reaching consequences. And the pilgrim looks kind of all over the place, which is probably the intention of the creators.

Not even the battle scenes got me excited, so something definitely felt off. The fight itself was well-executed, but the intro with the one-armed bandit was confusing. I get that they wanted to give an important character a memorable exit, but what was the point? If he had at least dragged a rope and given a signal by tugging it twice, fine, but this? Telepathy? The only part that truly intrigued me was the ceremony before the first sowing.
