I was kidding about fingerprinting but holy crap, the Chinese really did invent everything first didn't they? Very impressive.

I think Askalad did organise the 'assassination' (based on what he said just before it happened) but he isn't admitting it publicly to Canute. Bjorn was dying anyway from his gut wound, so the duel was kinda like euthanasia (they had beef from askalad saying he has always hated his men, which would include Bjorn, in the previous episode). I was sure fingerprinting was invented about 1000 years after this in the Victorian era, but google tells me the Chinese invented it before Rome fought Carthage! Still, it didn't really become scientific or systematically used until Darwin's cousin studied it in the 1880s.
