The Northman [ SIMPLE ]

In 895 A.D., young Prince Amleth witnesses his uncle, Fjölnir, murder his father, King Aurvandill War-Raven. He escapes by boat, chanting a vow that will define his entire life: "I will avenge you, Father. I will save you, Mother. I will kill you, Fjölnir".

Learning that Fjölnir lost his kingdom and now lives as a humble farmer in Iceland, Amleth disguises himself as a slave to infiltrate his uncle's farmstead. There, he forms an alliance with Olga, a Slavic sorceress who aids him in his quest. Deep Themes and Symbolism The story of perspective in Robert Eggers' The Northman The Northman
