Ep. 22: Thorfinn dan Askeladd terlibat duel di mana Askeladd membuang senjatanya dan mengalahkan Thorfinn sebelum Canute ikut campur.
Thorfinn and Askeladd prepare to duel, however Askeladd surprisingly throws away his sword. Thorfinn angrily attacks him, but he is no match for Askeladd who has fought with him over a dozen times and knows his moves and weaknesses. Askeladd beats Thorfinn into unconsciousness, and Canute stops the fight when Askeladd has delivered the winning blow. Askeladd then recounts his upbringing as the son of a slave woman, who attracted the attention of his Viking father Olaf because of his fighting skills. He eventually took revenge and killed Olaf, but cast suspicion on another son who was executed for the murder. He details his contempt for the attitude of the Vikings who live only for battle, conquest and revenge. He chides Thorfinn for having learned nothing while Askeladd exploited the boy for his own ends. Canute asks Askeladd why he supports him, and Askeladd simply replies that Canute is the one most fit to be king of the Vikings. (Source: Wikipedia)
