Quick recap
Uhtred tries to take Bebbanburg with a small band, and it fails: Father Beocca dies protecting his son. Cnut invades Mercia, and Æthelflæd gathers forces at Tettenhall. Edward arrives to decide the battle, and Brida kills Cnut. Æthelred dies, and Æthelflæd takes Mercia, with Uhtred at her side. A new threat appears: Sigtryggr, who marries Uhtred's daughter Stiorra and seizes Winchester. Edward besieges the city for weeks. Uhtred offers himself as a hostage and brokers a truce that gives Eoferwic to Sigtryggr. Aelswith is poisoned by Aethelhelm, and the season ends with Edward placing the boy Æthelstan in Uhtred's care.
