- The Viking fleet causes panic in Paris; the Emperor Charles declares he will remain in the city.
- The vikings arrive in France and begin constructing their base camp in full view of the citizens of Paris. Ragnar puts Floki in charge of the battle preparations, including finding a way to gain access to the city over the wall they've built. Inside the city, the population is in a panic. Emperor Charles announces that he will remain in the city and puts Count Odo in charge of the city's defenses. In Wessex meanwhile, King Ecbert tells Aethelwulf that he may have to overthrow King Aelle if he is to become king of all of England. Ecbert also casts his lustful eye on his daughter-in-law Judith. Aethewulf is sent to Mercia to ensure Queen Kwenthrith understands she is subjugated to Ecbert. She has something of a surprise for them. In Kattegat, Porunn asks Aslaug to care for her newborn daughter.—garykmcd
- Ragnar takes the Viking fleet to Paris, where Floki must devise and build siege engines to overcome the rich city's formidable fortifications. Their reputation strikes terror among the citizens. Francian emperor Charles, whose other vassals failed to make a stand against the Norse warriors, risks staying in Paris, where count Odo commands the defense forces. Wessex king Ecbert confides his ambition to become "brettwalda" (king of all Britain), hence overthrow ally Aelle of Northumbria, into heir Aethelwulf, who is sent to Mercia, where queen Kwenthrith must be put back in her place as installed vassal of Wessex, and tries to seduce the prince, while his wife Judith flirts with Ecbert.—KGF Vissers
- The Northemen arrive at the walls of Paris and the King discusses with his nobles how the will protect the town against the invaders. Ecbert asks Aethelwulf what would be the reaction of Judith if he kills King Aelle. Aethelwulf learns that Queen Kwenthrith has killed the noblemen from Wessex. Ragnar gives the command of his forces to Floki and the leaders discuss how they will attack Paris. Floki is assigned to build something to help them to climb the walls. Ecbert assigns his son to intimidate Kwenthrith to be submissive to Wessex.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
