However, Aethelstan anticipates and outwits his brother’s trap while Uhtred takes control of the town’s gates, allowing Uhtred to convince Ælfweard to surrender peacefully. In Aegelesburg, Uhtred and his men pose as mercenaries looking to fight for Ælfweard, only to learn that he plans to lure Aethelstan into a trap. Aethelstan has grown very religious and taken Lord Ingilmunder as his advisor who uses the Bible to help dictate the prince’s actions. Uhtred gathers his friends to move on Ælfweard before he can cement his power so as to let Aethelstan take the throne, leaving his son Osbert to train Edmund. In Bebbanburg, Ingrith prophesizes that “seven kings must die and the woman you love” before England is united while Uhtred, now an old man, dismisses the prophecy as he isn’t a king and has no wife. With King Edward’s death of illness, Danes under King Anlaf invade Northumbria and Prince Ælfweard moves on the throne with the backing of the ealdormen of Wessex and mercenaries, forcing Queen Eadgifu and Prince Edmund to flee to Uhtred for refuge.
