- Ragnar goes on a trip of initiation with his son. Meanwhile, he thinks he has finally found a way to sail ships to the west. However, his beliefs are seen as insane so he chooses to go against the law.
- At a meeting to discuss the summer raids Ragnar Lothbrok urges Earl Haraldson to send his ships to the west to raid an island called England. Ragnar believes he's found a way across the open sea using a rudimentary navigational device and a sunstone. Haraldson refuses saying he doesn't believe there is anything to the west. Ragnar visits a seer to learn what the future has in store for him and is told that he should take the law into his own hands. He decides to get a new boat of his own.—garykmcd
- Ragnar takes his precocious, eager preteen son along to the annual 'ding' (regional popular assembly) presided by ruthless "jarl" (primitive Norse earl) Haraldson, who demonstrates how the power of 'justice' is greedily abused to eliminate innocent 'obstacles'. The earl insists to send 'his' fleet back to the customary, rather depleted Baltic coasts, hence intimidatingly forbids Ragner's plan to try the West, thanks to novel navigation by compass. Ragnar pretends to obey but actually hires a rogue boat builder to construct an equally novel vessel.—KGF Vissers
- In 793 A.D., in Scandinavia, the farmer Ragnar Lothbrok is happily married with Lagertha and they have two children, the teenagers Bjorn and Gyda. When Bjorn is thirteen, Ragnar takes him to the village to prepare him to manhood and meets his brother Rollo. They discuss the possibility of sailing to the West and Ragnar shows a compass-like device that a man told that it was possible to travel to West. Then they see two trials where the powerful Count Earl Haraldson presides and takes tough decisions. When Ragnar questions the count why they should navigate to East instead of to the West in public, Haraldson tells that he will not risk his fleet in a dangerous journey. Then he summons Ragnar in private and threatens Ragnar for exposing him in public. When Ragnar returns home with Bjorn, he introduces the shipbuilder Floki to Bjorn and tells that he has secretly ordered to build a ship for him to navigate West. What will happen to them for breaking the rules?—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
