God created everything that surrounds me, the fields, rivers, the forests. The land is my church.
What binds a man to his land? What power within allows him to give his life to preserve his land and the lives of the families who work it? It can only be love.
We are one, you and I. From the moment I took your hand on the steps of the great hall of Eoferwic, we were bound as one. You may dislike me, hate me if you wish, despise me at times. But love is immortal. It goes on.[to Brida]
Fear can be expelled with knowledge.
To Uhtred, the true Lord of Bebbanburg. A man I have never understood, but without whom I would not die a king.
Revenge will not bring you peace, only death.[to Uhtred]
You will never be rid of me. Accept it. Accept me.[to Uhtred]
Whatever I discover about my enemies is written down.
Watch now on:
There’s no justice here. Only the church.
I will not stand by and have everything that’s mine taken from me.
I prefer the company of the Gods to stupid men.
Call me Uhtred. Or, from time to time, you may wish to call me Arseling.
