But do not think I offer nothing in return; I tell stories. Stories about my own travels. Stories about the Gods or both. As they say, I sing for my supper.

Harbard

What sensible man would not be afraid of a farmer who made himself a king?

Kalf

Stones are much easier to wear than earth. May I?

King Ecbert

Judith: Forgive me Father, for I have sinned.
Athelstan: In what ways have you sinned my child?
Judith: I have sinned in thought, but not in deed.
Athelstan: Then your sins are not so great as they might be.
Judith: They are still great.
Athelstan: What are these thoughts you had?
Judith: I have dreamed of lying naked beside a man who is not my husband.
Athelstan: And did you just, lie, beside him or?
Judith: We made love and I enjoyed it very much.
Athelstan: You've certainly sinned.
Judith: Yes.
Athelstan: Who? Who is this man you lay with?
Judith: It was you, Athelstan.

This gift is worth more to me than a necklace of precious stones. I thank you with all my heart.

Lagertha

Athelstan: He confesses he has had to remove several Saxon farmers from their lands.
Lagertha: Then ask him if they will not be hostile to us, and if so, will he guarantee the safety of our own farms and communities.
Athelstan: He will personally guarantee our safety and security.
Lagertha: I thank the king from the bottom of my heart. It was always Ragnar's dream to find a land to farm for our young folks, and to live peacefully with others. Now, it is my dream also.

Ragnar: Why do you hate your uncle so much?
Kwenthrith: Do you think that my older brother was the only member of my family who raped me when I was a child? It was my uncle who first brought him to me. Since I was six years old he abused me. He violated my body and my soul.

King Ecbert says that all this land is yours from here to the horizon. There are many farms on this land for you to take possession of. He wants us to live in peace. For that is the future for all of us now.

Athelstan

One day will come a reckoning. It's just not possible to imagine a world that would choose both one God and several. One of us must be right.

Athelwulf

Lagertha: Not one of your prophecies do I understand.
Seer: It is the way of prophecy only to be understood when it has happened, and it is too late to change it.

Lagertha: Ask him what he is staring at.
Athelstan: She says, what are you staring at?
King Ecbert: I'm starting at her.
Athelstan: He's staring at you.
Lagertha: What for?
Athelstan: What for?
King Ecbert: She is unlike any woman I have ever met. There are no Saxon women like her. I am infatuated by her. A shield-maiden. A warrior. A farmer. A mother. She is incredible.
Lagertha: Well, what did he say?
Athelstan: He likes you.

Ragnar: We will go together to Wessex, and you will be my John the...
Athelstan: The Baptist?
Ragnar: John the Baptist, yes. Wherever you go, I will follow.

Athelstan: The Baptist?
Ragnar: John the Baptist, yes. Wherever you go, I will follow.

Ragnar: What do you see?
Bjorn: Power, the power of a king.
Ragnar: Power is always dangerous. It attracts the worst and corrupts the best. I never asked for power. Power is only given to those who are prepared to lower themselves to pick it up.
