After capturing the treasure from the Franks, Askeladd’s men return to the village of Gorm on the Jutland Peninsula in Denmark to pass the winter. Thorfinn challenges Askeladd to a duel as a reward for bringing him the head of the captain of the clan of Franks. Even though Thorfinn has grown in skill through his experience in battle, he is still no match for Askeladd.
If I run away to the other side of the ocean,
،إن هربت إلى الجانب الآخر من البحر
bis jenseits des Meeres …
Si huyera más allá del borde del mar,
Si huyo al otro lado del océano,
Si j’arrivais à fuir au-delà des mers…
Se scappassi dall'altra parte dell'oceano,
Fugir para além do mar...
