also known in your parish
713
00:48:20,645 --> 00:48:22,962
as Uhtred the godless...
714
00:48:22,964 --> 00:48:26,849
You are on this day
charged with taking a troop
715
00:48:26,851 --> 00:48:30,202
of the King's men into Cornwalum and there
716
00:48:30,204 --> 00:48:33,689
making war against the Britons
without your King's consent.
717
00:48:33,691 --> 00:48:37,209
You are also charged with joining forces
718
00:48:37,211 --> 00:48:39,762
with the Dane called skorpa,
719
00:48:39,764 --> 00:48:43,816
to murder Christian-folk in Cornwalum,
720
00:48:43,818 --> 00:48:46,936
despite these folk all living in peace
721
00:48:46,938 --> 00:48:50,456
with Alfred and with Wessex.
722
00:48:50,458 --> 00:48:52,658
All this is proven with oaths,
723
00:48:52,660 --> 00:48:56,028
and the punishment for
these crimes is death.
724
00:48:57,547 --> 00:49:00,916
- Who swears these oaths?
- We shall get to that.
725
00:49:00,918 --> 00:49:01,583
Show me.
726
00:49:01,585 --> 00:49:05,052
- Who swears?
- I, brother Asser,
727
00:49:05,053 --> 00:49:06,855
swear these oaths.
728
00:49:06,857 --> 00:49:09,506
- Uhtred, to your knees.
- Never.
729
00:49:09,507 --> 00:49:11,277
Lord, we were patrolling your borders
730
00:49:11,279 --> 00:49:12,828
and protecting your kingdom, nothing more.
731
00:49:12,830 --> 00:49:16,770
- There is more to my story, Lord, if I may.
- Now is the time to beg.
732
00:49:16,771 --> 00:49:17,717
Yes, let him speak.
733
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:19,063
Let's hear his story.
734
00:49:19,064 --> 00:49:23,623
On my way to make this
complaint to King Alfred,
735
00:49:23,625 --> 00:49:25,641
I came via Cynuit...
736
00:49:25,643 --> 00:49:30,296
and such a sight I hope never to see again.
737
00:49:30,298 --> 00:49:32,782
For, where the church to commemorate
738
00:49:32,784 --> 00:49:36,002
Lord Odda's victory over
Ubba was to be built,
739
00:49:36,004 --> 00:49:39,922
I saw devastation, destruction,
740
00:49:39,924 --> 00:49:44,343
and the charred remains
of 15 monks or more.
741
00:49:44,345 --> 00:49:46,963
Men have told me that this evil
742
00:49:46,965 --> 00:49:52,018
was the work of the very same
skorpa who was in Cornwalum,
743
00:49:52,020 --> 00:49:56,055
and that with him, once more,
was the ealdorman Uhtred.
744
00:49:56,057 --> 00:49:58,691
- This man!
- No! No, these are lies. Lord, Lord,
745
00:49:58,693 --> 00:50:00,076
[crowd shouting] He lies with every breath.
746
00:50:00,078 --> 00:50:01,418
Lord, hear me. Let me speak,
747
00:50:01,419 --> 00:50:04,363
- and hear the truth.
- We are the Witan...
748
00:50:04,365 --> 00:50:07,216
and we shall behave in the way of a Witan.
749
00:50:09,870 --> 00:50:12,922
The ealdorman is entitled to respond!
750
00:50:12,924 --> 00:50:16,642
Yes, I was at Cynuit.
I was at Cynuit once...
751
00:50:16,644 --> 00:50:18,077
and once only.
752
00:50:18,079 --> 00:50:21,230
I was at Cynuit on the day that I,
753
00:50:21,232 --> 00:50:25,735
Uhtred of Bebbanburg, killed Ubba.
754
00:50:25,737 --> 00:50:29,355
I look around this hall and into the eyes
755
00:50:29,357 --> 00:50:33,209
of the warriors who know this to be true...
756
00:50:33,211 --> 00:50:36,696
and that is the only
occasion I was at Cynuit.
757
00:50:36,698 --> 00:50:39,949
We are here...
758
00:50:39,951 --> 00:50:43,369
we are here to deliver judgment
on the murder of King Peredur
759
00:50:43,371 --> 00:50:46,656
- and the Christian Britons of Cornwalum.
- Then if I can speak of Cornwalum, Lord.
760
00:50:46,657 --> 00:50:49,155
- There is a further witness, I believe.
- What if Peredur's queen
761
00:50:49,156 --> 00:50:50,528
was to stand in front of this Witan
762
00:50:50,529 --> 00:50:53,307
and tell you that Peredur
lied and cheated us?
763
00:50:53,308 --> 00:50:55,307
She is a shadow queen and a pagan, Lord.
764
00:50:55,308 --> 00:50:57,959
- Her words would be meaningless.
- Is the truth not important, Lord?
765
00:50:57,960 --> 00:50:59,729
- Lord!
- Odda, we shall move on.
766
00:50:59,730 --> 00:51:01,513
- There is a further witness.
- Yes, Lord.
767
00:51:01,514 --> 00:51:03,122
Bring in the prisoner.
768
00:51:03,124 --> 00:51:06,942
[All gasping]
769
00:51:10,464 --> 00:51:14,383
- What is this?
- Odda means for you to die as a traitor,
770
00:51:14,385 --> 00:51:16,102
and you will die.
771
00:51:16,104 --> 00:51:17,944
If it is Valhalla you want,
772
00:51:17,945 --> 00:51:21,502
- I will do my best to give it.
- I said you will stand separate.
773
00:51:25,145 --> 00:51:29,448
Leofric, you have sworn your oath,
774
00:51:29,450 --> 00:51:31,417
and you will tell the truth.
775
00:51:31,419 --> 00:51:32,902
I will, Lord.
776
00:51:32,904 --> 00:51:35,888
God is merciful.
777
00:51:35,890 --> 00:51:37,523
You're a man of Wessex
778
00:51:37,525 --> 00:51:42,302
- and have been loyal to the King?
- I am loyal to the King, Lord. Always.
779
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,048
Were you in Cornwalum
with the ealdorman Uhtred?
780
00:51:48,485 --> 00:51:49,769
I was.
781
00:51:51,098 --> 00:51:52,673
Did you kill
782
00:51:52,674 --> 00:51:56,625
- and plunder Peredur and his Britons?
- I did.
783
00:51:56,627 --> 00:51:59,395
Leofric, have you now donated your share
784
00:51:59,397 --> 00:52:03,965
- of the plunder to the church?
- I have, Lord,
785
00:52:03,966 --> 00:52:05,935
and have begged forgiveness.
786
00:52:08,071 --> 00:52:11,557
The Witan hears you, Leofric.
787
00:52:13,549 --> 00:52:16,191
Whom did you follow into battle?
788
00:52:18,132 --> 00:52:24,021
- I went willingly, Lord.
- No, Uhtred led, you followed.
789
00:52:24,022 --> 00:52:27,256
- He is the ealdorman, and he is to blame!
- I share the blame, Lord.
790
00:52:27,258 --> 00:52:29,692
- No, he is responsible!
- Irresponsible.
791
00:52:29,694 --> 00:52:31,277
And he will pay for it with his life!
792
00:52:31,279 --> 00:52:33,896
- For the last time, beg.
- No, I will not beg!
793
00:52:33,898 --> 00:52:36,949
I will fall to my knees
for no man, no King,
794
00:52:36,951 --> 00:52:38,451
and no Christian God!
795

[Grunting]
796
00:52:44,257 --> 00:52:45,975
Yeah.
797
00:52:48,245 --> 00:52:50,229
He must pay with his life.

[Grunts]

Lord, if I may make a plea
800
00:52:53,117 --> 00:52:54,483
to the King and the Witan.
801
00:52:54,485 --> 00:52:55,451
I have not yet finished.
802
00:52:55,453 --> 00:52:56,669
I beg your pardon, Lord, but if I may.
803
00:52:59,189 --> 00:53:02,775
It is clear that, like me,
the arseling here is guilty.
804
00:53:02,777 --> 00:53:04,343
Thank you, my friend. [Grunts]
805
00:53:04,345 --> 00:53:06,479
Because of my own guilt,
806
00:53:06,481 --> 00:53:10,065
and because of my respect
for Uhtred as a warrior,
807
00:53:10,067 --> 00:53:12,685
I request that he dies at my sword.
808
00:53:17,774 --> 00:53:21,343
You wish to become executioner, Leofric?
809
00:53:21,627 --> 00:53:23,979
My plea is for a fight
to the death, Lord...
810
00:53:23,981 --> 00:53:26,031
me against the arseling.
811
00:53:26,033 --> 00:53:29,502
If God is with me, I will be the Victor
812
00:53:29,504 --> 00:53:32,338
and the ealdorman is allowed
to die as a warrior should.
813
00:53:32,340 --> 00:53:35,053
And if he should win
this fight to the death,
814
00:53:35,054 --> 00:53:37,726
- what then?
- He will not.
815
00:53:37,728 --> 00:53:40,679
It would take God's
intervention for him to beat me.
816
00:53:40,681 --> 00:53:42,807
Let them fight, Lord.
817
00:53:43,221 --> 00:53:47,771
- Let God decide.
