Outline

The Emir of Syracuse asks for a one-on-one fight, with the winner taking the fortress, and the Emperor accepts. Harald fights on the Emperor’s behalf against the Emir himself and wins; Emperor Romanos offers the people of Syracuse mercy. Leif goes to the library of the fortress and finds a map he had been looking for for years. Maniakes goes to Leif’s tent and sees the explosive powder he used to destroy the fortress wall; he uses it to kill the people of Syracuse after the Emperor has left, with Leif arriving too late to stop Maniakes. In Jomsborg, people start falling sick; Stígr discovers that the flour they received from Kattegat has been laced with poisonous mushrooms. He makes a cure and is able to save a few, including Freydis and young Harald, but it is too late to save many of the other residents. Magnus Olafsson arrives in Kattegat with a group of priests and requests the permission of King Svein and his mother Queen Ælfgifu to build a shrine to his father as well as to go to Jomsborg and negotiate with Freydis to get back his father’s bones; however Ælfgifu is suspicious of Magnus, since he is next in line after her son Svein to the throne of Norway. It is revealed that it was Magnus who poisoned the flour traded with Jomsborg. In Rome, Emma tries to meet the Pope by revealing to the Cardinal that she knows Godwin bribed him. When that does not work, they have the Cardinal killed and secure the deal with the Pope through threats.
