قسمت 17: آسکلادد در برابر شورش ایستادگی می‌کند در حالی که تورفین برای نجات او از تورکِل با سرعت حرکت می‌کند

17

Threatened by a mutiny, Askeladd recalls feeding his sickly mother while she told him about their ancestor King Artorius who was recovering from his battle wounds in Avalon, a heaven-like place whence he would return to save their people from their suffering. Askeladd informs his men of his secret hatred of the Danes and immediately lashes out and kills two of them. Bjorn takes off in the sled with Thorfinn, Canute and the drunken priest, with ten men in pursuit, leaving Askeladd to face the rest of his former loyal followers. The men chasing the sled successfully crash it and capture the Prince, while Thorfinn steals one of their horses and rides back to prevent anyone else from killing Askeladd before he can extract his own revenge. Meanwhile, Askeladd slays many of his former comrades but is incapacitated by a volley of arrows. Thorkell arrives and gives Askeladd's men an opportunity to die fighting. Suddenly, Thorfinn storms in and challenges Thorkell to a duel over Askeladd. (Source: Wikipedia)
