I think Egbert, who is a clever mofo, doesnt mind Athelstan being there because he wants someone who will have positive effect on Ragnar there. Not that Athelstan is the agent of that conniving mofo.
Interesting 10th episode from the second season. I guess the discussion about Floki ends here? I didn't understand which were the dead children in the end of the episode?
i actually really like his character, and i think his genuine effort to understand the viking beliefs caused ragnar to really bond him and maybe eventually becoming a christian himself. Also the doubt and going back and forth is much more honest than a straight up change of creed.
i guess you dont refuse a dying man's last wish, or maybe hes got a role to play next season

That's fine but I find it kind of weird how he can transition back and forth between being a good 'ol monk and lead a pious/intellectual lifestyle and then suddenly be at a hardcore viking party surrounded by all kinds of 'sin'.

Yeah, it's pretty weird. If a monk starts in raiding parties you would expect that he is over with the idea of pious life. I agree with you. There is something very weird with him. But still, he is needed to show us the vikings from another perspective.
