The God-Windsons' Pirate Legacy

The episode explores how the God-Windsons, despite being associated with kingship, engaged in piracy throughout history. From Wolfnoff to Gudrúm and Harold God-Windson, each one resorted to piracy when faced with conflicts. The pirate tendencies of the God-Windsons reveal a lack of ideological consistency, as they were both appalled at the idea of ravaging southern towns yet had no issues plundering English towns when angered by the crown. While piracy played a role in their family's history, it was hardly a successful strategy, as shown by the mixed outcomes and eventual demise of many of the God-Windsons.
