For us, the sons of Ragnar,

363
00:38:14,919 --> 00:38:19,882
our first duty was to avenge our
father's death, and that we have done.

364
00:38:20,841 --> 00:38:22,468
But also,

365
00:38:22,593 --> 00:38:25,513
we have achieved
my father's dream.

366
00:38:26,639 --> 00:38:30,226

the land, and to farm here!

Unfortunately,
I will not be here to see

Hmm?

We have a great army
and we should use it!

to raid and find adventure,

392
00:39:51,307 --> 00:39:53,309
then I will lead them.

He's a real Viking.

I don't care what you say.

that really kept the sons
of Ragnar together

425
00:41:42,459 --> 00:41:44,044
was the death
of their father.

Poor Bjorn! It is you

427

who doesn't want
to keep the army together.

As far as I remember,
Ragnar didn't play the oud.

his arse to other men.
