Series One, Episode Three: Brothers
Harold and Sweyn return to Wessex to rescue Edith but fail. Harold realises the only way to save her is to overthrow the crown.

Tensions between William and King Henry escalate and William decides to negotiate an alliance of his own with Normandy’s barons.
Series One, Episode Four: So Be It
Edith is rescued as the Earls seize control of England and Tostig is named Earl of Northumbria, much to Sweyn’s horror – he threatens revenge and is banished by Harold. Lady Emma plots to give King Hardrada of Norway the English throne, but is discovered.
