The plot continues to thicken, and nothing about this series so far feels like it’s just there to be filler content. We have ourselves another solid, super fast-paced episode here. It was hard enough to take one of them out how will Freydis cope with a whole group of these people? Verdict At the end of the episode, we see his group come across the dead body. And he’s not the only one of his kind out there. We still don’t know who this mysterious person is, but we do learn that he makes it his duty to hunt pilgrims. He slaughters most of the group and Freydis only just manages to kill him by strangling him to death. The rest of the episode takes place in Sweden, where Freydis embarks on her pilgrimage to Uppsala but gets more than she bargains for when she and her small group come across a powerful warrior who attacks them for no apparent reason. The attacker has a strange mark on his forehead. What could it be? I’m sure we’ll find out during the battle. When they arrive at the drawbridge, they spot something that could sway the battle in their favor. Leif and Harald take matters into their own hands and decide to infiltrate London to find weaknesses within its defenses. Now it’s absolutely clear: the Saxons are daring them to attack. That’s when one lone Saxon rides into the heart of the camp, plants an ominous flag, and rides away. When the scouts fall back to the Viking camp, they concede that the English are probably aware of their plans to attack from the south. Anyone in the army can die, except for Leif and Harald, who both have strong plot armor.

This is a great little battle that again underlines how no one is safe in this show. The attack is pretty devastating they lose six Norsemen and Leif is badly injured. But as they make their way through the marshes, Leif and his group are ambushed by a bunch of English soldiers. At night, it is decided that Leif will take a group to scout London Bridge in order to gather intel on how best to attack the city. This isn’t ideal, but they’re hoping to take the English by surprise. Therefore, he wastes no time in preparing for a coronation.Īs the Vikings make their way towards London, they camp just outside the city in the southern marshes. Queen Emma is far from impressed by Edmund’s attitude, but Godwin - despite beating him up for his arrogance - believes that England needs Edmund to be King for the battle to come.

He seems to be a pretty impressive fighter, but Godwin is unconvinced, so he decides to face Edmund himself, and beats him senseless. There’s a great scene in the courtyard when advisor Earl Godwin (David Oakes) watches Edmund practice his sword-fighting skills against the guards. In London, Edmund is convinced that he must lead his army against the Norsemen on the battlefield, even if everyone around him thinks it’s a bad idea. Clearly, they would’ve liked the chance to kill Ethelred themselves, but his son will do. That said, their quest for revenge remains unchanged. While raiding the village, they quickly learn that King Ethelred has died, meaning his son Edmund is set to take the throne. Especially Leif, who’s come a long way since killing his first-ever person in the last episode. It’s cool to see Leif and Harald finally get their hands dirty in a battle. The episode opens as they raid a small village in a terrific action sequence. The Vikings have landed in Kent on the south coast of England, and everything seems to be going according to plan.
