His brother Halfdan is discouraged, and slightly repulsed that his brother has let both Ellisif and her husband, Vik live, and encourages Harald to kill them both.

BUt later that day Ellisif goes to Harald to try and make amends, and offering the same promise to marry him, Ellisif attempts to kill Harald, but is killed by Halfdan instead.

When Aethelwulf and his army arrives, they are lead on a wild goose chase across the field in an attempt to catch the Viking army.
