Plot summary
Edward, the King of the Anglo-Saxons, lies gravely ill, and word of it reaches Anlaf, a Viking king in Ireland, who brings his army into Northumbria. Edward dies without naming which of his three sons will succeed him. Lady Eadgifu takes her youngest boy, Edmund, north to Bebbanburg, where the retired Uhtred, once Edward's ally, lives. Uhtred is told that Aethelstan, Edward's eldest son, will likely move against his younger brother Aelfweard, and he plans to stop him. Before he leaves, Ingrith foretells that England cannot be united until seven kings have died. At Aegelesburg, Aelfweard prepares for Aethelstan's attack, and Aethelstan arrives with his adviser Ingilmundr.

- Several series regulars' characters were cut from the film during production, Lady Aelswith (Eliza Butterworth), King Edward (Timothy Innes), Lady Aelfwynn (Phia Saban), Cynlaef (Ryan Quarmby) and Uhtred's elder children Stiorra (Ruby Hartley) and Young Uhtred (Finn Elliot), because the change in format condensed the running time.
