Quotes
-
Egbert : Lies will not sustain a tyrant!
-
Ragnar : What would you do with him in your country?
Egbert : We have a special reward which is rather entertaining in a noisy way.
Ragnar : What's that?
Egbert : It's nothing much. Just a pit full of wolves half mad with starvation and trained to appreciate the flavor of human blood.
Ragnar : [to Einar] Aw, you see, the English are civilized!
-
Egbert : You're like a wounded animal, you trust no one.
-
Ragnar : Aw, a little skinny perhaps, but not bad. Not bad, at all.
Egbert : Restrain yourself, my Lord. If she is dishonored, she'll be worthless as a Queen and Aella won't pay ransom for her.
Morgana : I don't need traitors to plead my cause.
Egbert : My quarrel's with Aella, Lady, not with you. We were all agreed you would be unharmed while you remain with us.
Ragnar : Now, remember that Einar. Leave her alone.
Einar : I haven't touched her. Yet.
Morgana : And you never will! I'd kill myself first.
Ragnar : Ah, she doesn't seem to like you.
Einar : She likes me well enough.
-
Aella : [Aella is speaking of the union of Northumbria and Wales] I trust, Lord Egbert, that you approve of this alliance
Egbert : With all my heart, Sire.
Aella : Then why do you spread tales of an heir to the throne left by Queen Enid?
Egbert : Tis common knowledge, Sire... The queen on her deathbed spoke of a son sent off to Italy with the pommel stone of the sword requiter tied about him.
