King Edward eventually realizes his late father's ambition was a single kingdom - England and the assault on Bebbanburg would serve that purpose. Edward decides to lead the army to Bebbanburg himself.
Edward's plan was to intercept King Constantin on his way to Bebbanburg. However, Constantin secretly uses a small boat to reach the castle by sea, while his army is marching by land.
Uhtred manages to break into Bebbanburg first to save Aelfwynn. To do this, he asks for Haesten's help to find a way to distract the guards, and Hild also joins in.
Once inside Bebbanburg, however, Uhtred's group is exposed; Haesten is killed by Constantin.
When discovering that the Scots and their allies are close, Edward orders an attack on Bebbanburg while there is no information on the situation of Uhtred and Aelfwynn.
