#King canute

[borgialucrezia]

"Emma’s tenure as queen lasted until Cnut's death in 1035. The union between Emma and Cnut was by all accounts one of mutual respect and affection. The queen was not only a consort, but also an active participant in Cnut’s government and policies." — Larsen, Karen. Canute the Great: 995 (circ)-1035 and the Rise of Danish Imperialism during the Viking Age. 1997. (requested by anon)

So while the Emma/Canute/English succession plotline was effectively paced and wrapped up well by the end of Episode 8, the others seemed to fall much flatter. Magnus, one of the season's three big bads, was simply hauled away (rather anticlimactically in the face of all his various betrayals and machinations), Freydis and Harald reunite for a grand total of what seemed like thirty seconds, and we never even get to see what goes down with Leif and Freydis once they get back to Greenland to deal with dear old dad. (And what about Stigr and Little Harald? We never found out what happened to them at all.) Had they planned on having a Season 4 that never worked out? I loved the William of Normandy cameo we got, but it seemed like that was setting things up for a flash-forward to 1066 when we see him and Harald and Godwin's son duking it out Battle of Hastings-style.

And I will never stop going on about this until the end of my days: why did we never find out about Æthelred's gold?

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed this season, particularly Leif's peregrinations and Emma and Canute as the power couple we all knew they could be*, but the way it ended just threw me off.

*On a minor note, anyone who took Emma's flirtation with Harefoot at the end as a sign that she didn't really love Canute is off their rocker, at least in my opinion. The Ælfwynn fiasco notwithstanding, we know the woman knows how to outthink and manipulate just about anyone, including, but not limited to, her not-so-bright stepson. If that's what she needs to do to keep from being sidelined and hold onto some power for her son Edward, we know she's going to do it. Also, can we compare her with Canute on his deathbed (the soft touches, the tears, the murmuring) and her at Æthelred’s? Seriously, light years apart.

I watched the Vinland Saga stage play five times.

In Twitter site, Thorfinn won as the best character from Vinland Saga, followed by Askeladd, Hild, Knut and Einar

Hild is the father

It was also Myre's birthday

I saw a AO3 tag so ednute, I had to

I love my two kings
