They captured the town
with great slaughter.

00:03:55,450 --> 00:03:57,290
I tried to take your kingdom.

38
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,490
I had nothing against you.

39
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,360
It was just to be
worthy of her.

40
00:04:01,390 --> 00:04:03,760
Then why has everything
changed?

41
00:04:03,790 --> 00:04:05,560
Because she lied to me.

42
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:10,500
She couldn't wait for me
to become King of Norway.

43
00:04:10,530 --> 00:04:13,870
She married
a Danish Earl instead.

44
00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:15,040
And what did you do?

45
00:04:16,910 --> 00:04:18,010
I killed her.
