Added DiffLines:

* AmputativeSentencing: After Eric brings Ragnar to Aella, he grants Ragnar his LastRequest by [[GiveMeASword giving him his sword]] just before Ragnar jumps in Aella's [[FedToTheBeast wolf pit]] so he'll die sword in hand. Aella takes great offense at the gesture and punishes Eric by cutting off the hand he used to give the sword to Ragnar (the left one).

* ArtisticLicensePolitics: For some reason Eric is treated as the rightful heir of the Northumbrian throne by his mother and Godwin, despite the fact as Ragnar's bastard son via rape, he has no legal right to the throne while Aella does, being an actual blood-relative of the previous king.
