This gift is worth more to me than a necklace of precious stones. I thank you with all my heart. Lagertha • Permalink: • Of course, she got the beautiful necklace later on, as well. King Ecbert is doing a fine job of winning Lagertha over. I'm hoping his feelings are genuine, but at the same time it's kind of naive to think that. Didn't the Seer talk about a harvest covered in blood and a trickster?

Or will Judith and Athelstan just join them in the bath? Your turn guys, hit the comments and share your thoughts with me. Let's talk Vikings!

Lagertha: Then ask him if they will not be hostile to us, and if so, will he guarantee the safety of our own farms and communities. Athelstan: He will personally guarantee our safety and security. Lagertha: I thank the king from the bottom of my heart. It was always Ragnar's dream to find a land to farm for our young folks, and to live peacefully with others. Now, it is my dream also.

He seemed pleasant enough, though his hand was bleeding as in their dreams. Even freakier was Athelstan's stigmata bleeding. What's the connection between Harbard (Odin) and the Christian ex-monk's bleeding hands?

Kalf's betrayal is unexpected. King Ecbert seems to be deeply attracted by Lagherta. Who is the mysterious stranger?

And that lull is productive narratively, as we see much on the horizon. Ragnar and his men (and women) are giving their weary limbs a rest—those limbs (and other body parts) that are not being removed, that is.

That's got to be Ecbert. Speaking of tricksters, there's also Kalf, Lagertha's second in command. He's already proven a traitor, and this week we learned he's simply after fame. Lagertha seemed to have such trust in him, could she have been that mistaken? I like to think she's a better judge of character than that. Perhaps there's more to Kalf than we realize at this point.

• Permalink: • It appears the king is taken with Lagertha, but is all the flirting part of his endgame? I can't help but distrust King Ecbert; look how things went down with King Horik in! Will Lagertha and Ecbert grow even closer?

Poor Torstein, I had a feeling he would be our first Viking casualty this season. His struggle throughout the episode proved this to be true. Wasn't it odd the way Floki nonchalantly agreed to cut off his arm? I've never known what to make of the shipbuilder, but he proves wackier as the series progresses. Billiards games pc. The amputation was brutal. I found it a bit shocking that Princess Kwenthrith asked for her uncle's head.

There’s little doubt that Torstein will continue to harry the Mercians, even down one arm. But it is back at the court of Ecbert that we are shown the greatest potential storms forming. Canny Lagertha questions the king about the origin of the lands he has given the Vikings, and he reveals that some of his own subjects were evicted from the farms she now overseas. While he informs her that he has every intention of defending her claim to them, we have to wonder how he intends to do so when he is in need of their foreign forces in order to do the same with Princess Kwenthrith’s to Mercia. In fact, we are left to wonder if this is simply the hollow promise of a man who wishes to win a woman. If it was not clear before, Ecbert is more than a little taken with Lagertha, enough not only to follow her out to the farmland she now oversees, but to give her more personal gifts and learn a bit of her language.
