Dialog
Haakon IV of Norway
By Thor's hammer, these Scots cling to their rocks like limpets! Sound the horns—drive the wave-steeds hard ashore!
Scottish Knight Commander
Hold the line, heather-born! Let these sea-wolves taste Highland steel!
Viking Ship Captain
Hel take these rocks! Hard to port, you dogs, unless you fancy swimming with the selkies!
Scottish Knight Commander
See how their dragon-prows falter! Archers—loose at the golden-beards wading ashore!
Haakon IV of Norway
Odin's eye sees us! That banner marks their chieftain—all who board that ship shall drink from the skull of a king tonight!
Viking Ship Captain
The tide turns against us, my king! These rocks bite deeper than Scottish teeth!
Scottish Knight Commander
Aye, let them come! We'll plant Norsemen in Scottish soil like barley before harvest!
