After the assassination attempt on Canute’s life, rumors spread through York saying that the king is trying to kill Canute. As a result, the king is unable to issue any orders that would put Canute in harm, and Askeladd is pleased that everything is proceeding as planned. However, the tables turn when King Sweyn speaks. Meanwhile, Thorfinn is sent to prison as punishment for disturbing the peace.
this land still harbors impudent fools
who show no respect for their king.
ما زالت هذه الأرض تأوي حمقى

que no muestran respeto por su rey.
esta tierra sigue albergando
a insolentes que no respetan a su rey.
Sur cette terre,

Esta terra ainda abriga descarados
que não têm respeito pelo rei.
