Askeladd confronts a mutiny by recalling King Artorius and killing two dissenters. Bjorn flees with Thorfinn, Canute, and a priest, pursued by ten men who crash their sled and capture the Prince. Thorfinn steals a horse to return and stop others from killing Askeladd. Askeladd fights many former comrades but is incapacitated by arrows. Thorkell arrives, offering his men a chance to die fighting. Thorfinn then storms the scene and challenges Thorkell to a duel over Askeladd.
