The rumours are true.

Sweyn slipped his escort
outside Orleans.

He's gone to ground
somewhere in France.

00:00:27,221 --> 00:00:30,581
If he's raising an army against you,
he's doing it well out of sight.

I need to know if it's true.

..what do you want me to do?

10
00:00:47,901 --> 00:00:49,901
I want you to be absolutely sure.

The children will be in safe hands,

Why do you have to deliver

When William finds out,
I need to see his reaction.

You told me that William

This was my father's doing.

He wanted to ransom

Now that King Henry is dead,

Normandy and Brittany

I'll explain it to him.

Why?

66
00:05:49,261 --> 00:05:52,101
Edward's named you his successor

Wait, he just gives me his crown?
It's that simple?

00:06:00,821 --> 00:06:01,941
No.

69
00:06:03,501 --> 00:06:05,901
He's put you first in line

He's offering you something
he cannot give.

Edward is king. The crown is his.

72
00:06:11,461 --> 00:06:14,261
It is the three earls who decide
who sits on the English throne.

Who are controlled by you.

74
00:06:15,981 --> 00:06:18,621
It isn't Edward

I don't need to make

I'd even want this?

Honestly, I don't.

And then you control the throne?

I just don't want anyone else

Hmm.

Harold, we owe each other nothing.

86

That's a rarity for men like us.

87

Why interfere with it?

88

An alliance between Normandy and the
earls of England would be strong.

It would be the strongest in Europe.

There you go.

00:13:15,501 --> 00:13:16,581
Are you hot in there?

Just come here, Tostig. He is.

Speak.

It's the feast of Whitsun, my lord.

00:13:52,421 --> 00:13:53,741
It was Earl Siward's tradition

193
00:13:53,741 --> 00:13:57,101
for his people to receive food
and shelter after the harvest.

Very well, then.
My word is, let the people in.

197
00:14:08,501 --> 00:14:10,861
Give them the food
and shelter they need.

198
00:14:10,861 --> 00:14:13,301
Make sure there
is constant supervision.

No-one is to take more than their
family demands,

00:14:18,901 --> 00:14:21,461
and no single man on horseback
is to take extra provisions

00:14:21,461 --> 00:14:23,861
without specific reason,
to be judged by me.

203

Yes, my lord. Consider it done.

I heard you were in Brittany.

I know the Baron.
You should have told me.

She's well.

This is my wife, Edith.

I'm like dawn to the sunrise -

a slave to your radiance.

222
00:15:36,461 --> 00:15:38,901
How kind, Count Baldwin.

223
00:15:38,901 --> 00:15:41,141

So, good day, all.

What do you think?

00:15:57,941 --> 00:16:00,101
I think he wants to know
why Harold is in Normandy.

<font color="
About Harold's offer.

Can I trust him? He's right
when he talks about strength.

00:16:08,421 --> 00:16:09,621
There's not a territory in Europe

232
00:16:09,621 --> 00:16:11,901
that would make a move
if we're backed by England.

233
00:16:11,901 --> 00:16:13,061
I can't have people thinking

Henry's death has got people

You're vulnerable without him.

237
00:16:22,021 --> 00:16:24,221
But why would Harold take
all this risk

He's offering you power.
But not the crown.

Does that really make such
a difference?

Don't make decisions for me.
William...

Henry made decisions for me. Don't.

<font color="

I'm simply proposing an alternative

341

Go on. When Harold's father
was Earl,

342

he controlled everything,

343
00:25:04,781 --> 00:25:07,621
but he did it in the name
of the kings he served.

344
00:25:10,021 --> 00:25:12,381
<font color="
to do the same for William?

345
00:25:14,621 --> 00:25:18,061
William as king? As king.

346
00:25:18,061 --> 00:25:20,181
So William comes to England
and he's crowned as king.

347
00:25:20,181 --> 00:25:21,541
That's your proposal?

348
00:25:21,541 --> 00:25:24,821
With Harold as his adviser
and his most trusted proxy.

349
00:25:24,821 --> 00:25:26,901
<font color="

350
00:25:26,901 --> 00:25:28,421

351
00:25:28,421 --> 00:25:30,301
to what Harold's offering William
right now.

352
00:25:30,301 --> 00:25:33,221
Except Harold will be second.
He will never agree to that.

353
00:25:34,381 --> 00:25:37,541

00:25:40,221 --> 00:25:43,061
And you're so sure they'll kneel

00:25:48,861 --> 00:25:51,581
Well, when it makes
<font color="

359
00:25:51,581 --> 00:25:52,661
And Harold will win.

360
00:25:52,661 --> 00:25:55,421
It'll be bloody and terrible,
but he will win.

361
00:25:55,421 --> 00:25:56,781
You will be defeated.

362
00:25:56,781 --> 00:25:58,061
Do you want to be Queen, Edith?

363
00:26:00,101 --> 00:26:01,661
Is that what's in there,
scratching away?

364
00:26:03,861 --> 00:26:05,821
One week, and you think you know me?

365
00:26:11,461 --> 00:26:12,701
<font color="

366
00:26:14,421 --> 00:26:16,061
Both our husbands want that crown.

367
00:26:16,061 --> 00:26:18,421
Question is,
which one of them will yield first?

368
00:26:20,141 --> 00:26:21,741
That is what we must prepare for.

369
00:26:32,061 --> 00:26:33,381
I have food.

370
00:26:34,381 --> 00:26:35,741
They're meant to bring it to you.

371
00:26:36,741 --> 00:26:38,821
Yes,
but this way they give it to me,

372
00:26:38,821 --> 00:26:40,421
<font color="
like I've done everything.

373
00:26:41,901 --> 00:26:42,981
See?

374
00:26:44,061 --> 00:26:46,421
I see. Very convincing.

375
00:26:46,421 --> 00:26:48,221
I'm putty in your hands.

376
00:26:49,981 --> 00:26:51,981
I forgot something.

377
00:26:51,981 --> 00:26:53,221
Tossy?

378
00:26:59,821 --> 00:27:03,501
But it's not time. It is time.
We're having a baby now.

379
00:27:03,501 --> 00:27:05,781
<font color="
Find someone, anyone.

380
00:27:07,021 --> 00:27:09,181
Someone, help! We need a nurse, now!

381
00:27:09,181 --> 00:27:10,821
Hey. Hey.

382
00:27:10,821 --> 00:27:12,021
JUDITH GASPS

383
00:27:12,021 --> 00:27:14,541
Don't worry.
Harold won't let me down.

384
00:27:29,861 --> 00:27:32,221
Doesn't really make sense, does it?

385
00:27:32,221 --> 00:27:33,901
When's the last time you saw a lion?

386
00:27:36,421 --> 00:27:41,581
<font color="
of a lone wolf type anyway.

387
00:27:41,581 --> 00:27:43,541
That would look good on the banner.

388
00:27:45,381 --> 00:27:47,661
Yours is a...snake?

389
00:27:47,661 --> 00:27:50,341
Oh, very good. A dragon.

390
00:27:50,341 --> 00:27:54,701
I've never seen a dragon.
Massive, fire-breathing monsters.

391
00:27:54,701 --> 00:27:57,301
Looks amazing on a banner.
<font color="

392
00:28:01,981 --> 00:28:03,221
William, we need to talk.

393
00:28:04,301 --> 00:28:05,741
Can you and I reach an agreement?

394
00:28:07,101 --> 00:28:08,461
I think we can figure it out.

395
00:28:09,501 --> 00:28:10,581
So it's settled.

396
00:28:12,221 --> 00:28:14,781
We can agree on control
of the crown.

397
00:28:14,781 --> 00:28:17,461
It's settled.
After the Whitsun Mass,

398
00:28:17,461 --> 00:28:19,661
<font color="

399
00:28:19,661 --> 00:28:22,221
That's generous,
but Edward needs to hear it first.

400
00:28:22,221 --> 00:28:25,261
I need to tell him myself.
And I need to tell my people.

401
00:28:27,861 --> 00:28:30,061
You need Normandy's loyalty, Harold.

402
00:28:31,421 --> 00:28:33,261
That's what you want, isn't it?
That's why you came.

403
00:28:34,621 --> 00:28:36,421
<font color="

404
00:28:36,421 --> 00:28:38,781
Did I misunderstand your offer?

405
00:28:40,221 --> 00:28:41,701
My offer was clear.

406
00:28:42,861 --> 00:28:45,381
I haven't been dishonest with you.

407
00:28:45,381 --> 00:28:48,861
My father once told me
a story about King Cnut.

408
00:28:48,861 --> 00:28:50,581
After he'd defeated Ethelred,

409
00:28:50,581 --> 00:28:53,621
when it was clear he would be
<font color="

410
00:28:53,621 --> 00:28:56,021
he offered the last of his enemies
a choice -

411
00:28:56,021 --> 00:29:00,981
remain loyal to the dead king,
or swear their loyalty to Cnut.

412
00:29:00,981 --> 00:29:05,501
Every man who swore their loyalty
to Cnut was put to the sword,

413
00:29:05,501 --> 00:29:08,621
and the ones who remained loyal
<font color="

414
00:29:08,621 --> 00:29:10,421
And do you know why?

415
00:29:10,421 --> 00:29:12,061
It was said he could only ever trust

416
00:29:12,061 --> 00:29:14,181
the man who remained loyal
to his own heart.

417
00:29:14,181 --> 00:29:16,421
And that's why
my father stayed alive.

418
00:29:19,901 --> 00:29:22,301
We can share control, William.

419
00:29:24,021 --> 00:29:26,581
We can. We just need to trust
<font color="

420
00:29:29,141 --> 00:29:30,341
I agree.

421
00:29:33,461 --> 00:29:37,741
Don't worry, Harold.
Tomorrow, we'll find our agreement.

422
00:29:37,741 --> 00:29:38,821
Come on.

423
00:29:43,581 --> 00:29:45,301
I just wanted
a straight answer from him,

424
00:29:45,301 --> 00:29:46,461
but he wouldn't give me one.

425
00:29:48,141 --> 00:29:50,341
He's hiding something from me,
I know it.

426
00:29:51,421 --> 00:29:54,221
<font color="
to find out?

427
00:29:54,221 --> 00:29:56,301
Harold, if you make an enemy of him,

428
00:29:56,301 --> 00:29:58,061
there will be a full-scale invasion,

429
00:29:58,061 --> 00:30:00,661
and the whole country
will get dragged into it.

430
00:30:00,661 --> 00:30:02,821
Let William have the crown.

431
00:30:02,821 --> 00:30:05,541
You will still have
the power to do...

432
00:30:05,541 --> 00:30:08,741
<font color="
Wessex has never been conquered.

433
00:30:08,741 --> 00:30:12,341
Alfred never let that happen.
I can't risk that, I won't.

434
00:30:12,341 --> 00:30:13,501
My father knew that.

435
00:30:17,141 --> 00:30:18,421
What did you promise him?

436
00:30:22,821 --> 00:30:25,461
When he was dying,
what did you promise your father?

437
00:30:30,141 --> 00:30:32,221
He said it had to be me.

438
00:30:34,581 --> 00:30:37,461
<font color="
Oh, my God.

439
00:30:39,381 --> 00:30:41,101
I promised him this, Edith.

440
00:30:41,101 --> 00:30:43,781
On his deathbed, I gave him my word.

441
00:30:43,781 --> 00:30:47,781
You are just like him.
No, because my father was wrong.

442
00:30:47,781 --> 00:30:49,381
This is not about peace.

443
00:30:49,381 --> 00:30:50,941
It is about control.

444
00:30:52,261 --> 00:30:55,301
<font color="
that he can take the crown.

445
00:30:56,861 --> 00:30:59,181
Besides, Gunhild will provide us
with an heir.

446
00:31:00,821 --> 00:31:01,901
She has to.

I hear His music.

450
00:31:56,061 --> 00:31:57,141
I hear it too.

00:32:06,941 --> 00:32:10,421
The Holy Spirit is descended

He is amongst us.

00:32:15,941 --> 00:32:17,021
For you.

00:32:20,341 --> 00:32:22,381
F-f-for me?

455
00:32:22,381 --> 00:32:24,261
Oh! For us.

456
00:32:26,341 --> 00:32:27,421
His will be done.

457
00:32:29,341 --> 00:32:32,941
You and I, together.

KING EDWARD GASPS

Oh.

No, no. Edward! No, no, no, no.

Oh, fuck.

You bastard!

Fucking bastard! No!

what Edward's reasons are.

00:33:30,461 --> 00:33:32,381
That crown has been given to me.

474

Harold is still offering you
the power it represents.

475
00:33:35,021 --> 00:33:36,381
There's something
he's not telling me.

William, do not make

I'm still the heir. It changes
nothing. Robert needs stability.

Do you really want him to be
fighting wars

00:33:47,501 --> 00:33:48,621
for the rest of his life?

00:33:50,101 --> 00:33:51,781
Robert will never have to be

I'll make sure of it.

The crown is not important.

483
00:33:56,541 --> 00:33:58,621
But if you make the wrong choice,
you'll take us to war.

484
00:34:00,381 --> 00:34:02,021
Make the right choice for all of us.

<font color="
someone there, please.

539
00:39:08,301 --> 00:39:10,741
So this is my strategy...

540
00:39:10,741 --> 00:39:13,021
INAUDIBLE SPEECH

541
00:39:22,741 --> 00:39:24,741
You fool.

542
00:39:25,941 --> 00:39:28,421
..and this is what I've got.

543
00:39:28,421 --> 00:39:29,661
We'll get this covered.

544
00:39:31,461 --> 00:39:34,301
I'm wondering, do you have provision

545
00:39:34,301 --> 00:39:35,981
CROWD CHEERS

546
00:40:55,701 --> 00:40:57,341
..and as our Lord Jesus,

547
00:40:57,341 --> 00:41:01,101
host of hosts, takes his place
in the highest seat of heaven,

548
00:41:01,101 --> 00:41:05,101
may the glory of
the Holy Spirit descend on us all.

549
00:41:06,181 --> 00:41:08,381
For this is Whitsun.

550
00:41:09,461 --> 00:41:13,901
It is the day of the Spirit,
<font color="

551
00:41:17,421 --> 00:41:18,501
Here.

552
00:41:19,541 --> 00:41:20,621
Now.

553
00:41:36,701 --> 00:41:39,981
BLADE STABS, SWEYN GROANS

554
00:41:42,381 --> 00:41:43,941
You.

555
00:41:45,821 --> 00:41:47,341
Do I get a prayer?

556
00:41:49,221 --> 00:41:50,501
Not where you're going.

557
00:41:52,781 --> 00:41:55,941
Tell my brother I'll be waiting
for him down there...

558
00:41:55,941 --> 00:41:56,981
THOMAS STABS AGAIN

559
00:42:09,301 --> 00:42:14,861
<font color="
and Jesus is His Son...

560
00:42:16,581 --> 00:42:19,341
..then William truly is our spirit,

561
00:42:19,341 --> 00:42:20,861
our guiding light,

562
00:42:20,861 --> 00:42:22,341
our divine force...

563
00:42:22,341 --> 00:42:24,221
Thank you, Your Grace.

564
00:42:24,221 --> 00:42:25,381
Thank you, God.

565
00:42:26,901 --> 00:42:30,661
Another Whitsun spent celebrating
with friends and family.

566
00:42:32,301 --> 00:42:37,301
<font color="

567
00:42:37,301 --> 00:42:40,421
Now, this year, we have even more
reason to celebrate

568
00:42:40,421 --> 00:42:44,061
as we are honoured by the presence
of our friends from England.

569
00:42:44,061 --> 00:42:47,141
Earl Harold.
His beautiful wife, Edith.

570
00:42:49,181 --> 00:42:50,421
Harold?

571
00:42:53,621 --> 00:42:54,901
Come on, Harold. Come on.

572
00:42:59,261 --> 00:43:03,661
<font color="
I mean, what a beast.

573
00:43:05,901 --> 00:43:07,741
The strongest man I ever fought.

574
00:43:07,741 --> 00:43:08,941
ONLOOKERS: Hear, hear.

575
00:43:08,941 --> 00:43:11,541
With Harold Godwinson at your side,
you cannot lose.

576
00:43:11,541 --> 00:43:12,901
Give me your hand.

577
00:43:20,941 --> 00:43:22,781
You saved my life.

578
00:43:22,781 --> 00:43:24,381
<font color="

579
00:43:26,661 --> 00:43:29,981
We're bound together, forever.

580
00:43:29,981 --> 00:43:33,461
Normandy and Wessex.

581
00:43:33,461 --> 00:43:34,821
Together.

582
00:43:34,821 --> 00:43:36,461
ALL: Together!

583
00:43:37,741 --> 00:43:40,221
BELL CHIMES

584
00:43:48,061 --> 00:43:53,141
Today, on Whitsunday,
God has blessed Normandy.

585
00:43:54,861 --> 00:43:58,261
Edward, King of England,
has chosen William, our Duke,

586
00:43:58,261 --> 00:44:01,421
<font color="
to the throne of England.

587
00:44:02,861 --> 00:44:06,661
And now, with God as his witness,

588
00:44:06,661 --> 00:44:09,581
and over the holy relics of Bayeux,

589
00:44:09,581 --> 00:44:12,261
Harold of Wessex
will swear his loyalty

590
00:44:12,261 --> 00:44:17,221
to William of Normandy
as the next King of England.

591
00:44:17,221 --> 00:44:18,861
<font color="

592
00:44:20,861 --> 00:44:22,701
..a Godwin never breaks his word.

593
00:44:24,501 --> 00:44:25,581
That is true.

594
00:44:29,141 --> 00:44:30,381
I...

595
00:44:31,941 --> 00:44:33,221
..Harold Godwinson...

596
00:44:34,541 --> 00:44:35,941
..Earl of Wessex...

597
00:44:37,461 --> 00:44:39,341
..swear my absolute loyalty...

598
00:44:41,381 --> 00:44:43,341
..to the rightful heir of England.

599
00:44:45,141 --> 00:44:46,621
I give you my word on it.
