Vinland Saga - Uncut

Einar's life changes dramatically when his village is destroyed in a Viking attack.

Danish landowner Ketil instructs his slave Einar to work with Thorfinn to clear a vast forest so it can be cultivated to grow wheat.

The "guests" who defend Ketil's farm arrange for Olmar to kill a person so he can become a man.

Snake forces Thorfinn to accept a fundamental truth about himself. Einar finally learns the truth of Thorfinn's past, and struggles to come to terms with it.

After the death of Sweyn, King of Denmark, war breaks out in England once again having lost its ruler. Canute, who once despised conflict more than anyone, walks a bloody path alone in order to conquer England.

Thorfinn and Einar desire the power of a horse to efficiently clear the vast forest, but nobody is willing to lend a horse to a couple of slaves. While the two are at a loss, they meet an eccentric old man named Sverkel.

Ketil's eldest son Thorgil comes back to the farm to visit, and he tells Olmar of their fathers' exploits as the fearsome Iron Fist Ketil.

Thorfinn continues to be haunted by his usual nightmares. Thorfinn, who had thought only of revenge as he lived on the battlefield, lost his reason to live when Askeladd died. Einar and Sverkel tell the troubled Thorfinn that "people can change."

Finally, Thorfinn is able to remember his nightmare, and he comes to a realization about the person he's become.

Three years after Thorfinn and Einar began clearing the forest, they finish cutting down all the trees. Learning they will soon be free, they discuss their futures. Meanwhile, Canute, conqueror of England, visits Jelling, the royal capital of Denmark.

Ketil goes to offer gifts to the king, only to find a different man now sits on the throne. While before the king, Olmar makes a shocking declaration...

Canute puts his plans for Ketil's farm into motion. Thorgil decides to take certain matters into his own hands.
