Askeladd and his men return to the money-hungry feudal lord Gorm's village on the Jutland Peninsula with the spoils of their adventures. Thorfinn has a rematch with Askeladd, only to be defeated when Askeladd goads him into making an angry, reckless attack. In the year 1013, the Danish King Sweyn leads an invasion of northern England, with Danish forces and Viking mercenaries such as Askeladd landing near Gainborough, but they come to a halt at the heavily defended merchant city of London.
