Outline

Leif comes to Jomsborg to see Freydis but finds it abandoned. King Canute and Queen Emma arrive in Kattegat with their sons and meet Queen Ælfgifu, along with King Svein and his pregnant wife Queen Katla. Emma informs Ælfgifu that Canute is dying and is going to choose a successor. Harefoot and Godwin arrive as well and inform them of Forkbeard’s death. Leif makes his way to Kattegat and Canute offers him a ship and crew to find the golden land, since Leif hadn’t asked for anything after helping take London Bridge. In Greenland, Erik tries to unite the two groups. Freydis offers her father supplies, seeds and a ship but firmly tells him that they are leaving. Erik kills the captain of Freydis’s ship, Aki, in secret and kidnaps Freydis’s son Harald. In Constantinople, Zoe tells Harald that Maniakes turned his prosecution for Romanos’s murder over to the church so she won’t be able to pardon him. She apologises to him about her affair. During the trial, Maniakes accuses Harald and Zoe of plotting the murder of the Emperor together and tries to have one of Harald’s friends, Batu, be a witness against him. Harald claims that he raped Zoe and then killed Romanos when the Emperor confronted him, thereby saving Zoe and Batu. Harald is sentenced to execution and is sent to an island prison where he sees the bodies of his friends Kaysan, Batu and Dorn, executed for protecting Harald.
