Aelfwynn could never have given you a child of royal blood, but Gytha can. And you would not have gained her hand unless you were forced to lose something of immeasurable value...by me.

in VIKINGS: VALHALLA — Season 2 (2022)
"Neither character was really in power. She was always second to a King, and Godwin never had any power because he's just some guy. So, despite them being the two most intelligent characters in the entire show, they couldn't just go out and do something. What's interesting is that they also didn't align on what their ambitions were. But whereas Emma is more overt and expresses her feelings, doubts, and concerns about Godwin, Godwin is just much better at keeping his cards played close to his chest."
"So have you returned to your faith, renounced ours?" | "I wish it was so simple. In the gentle fall of rain from Heaven I hear my God. But in the thunder I still hear Thor. That is my agony." | "I hope that someday our Gods can become friends."
