During the fight with Eivor, Eadwyn offers a "''reward in silver for each dead Dane''," but as Geadric and his men are ostensibly Saxon, the only apparent "Danes" would be Eivor and Sigurd.
	*As with many castle and fortress assaults in the game, enemy soldiers will respawn infinitely in the "active" section of the fortress—and will in turn occupy the player's invincible NPC allies—until the player completes the section's objective. This rule also applies here: Sigurd, Basim, and Fulke will fight alongside Geadric's forces against Eadwyn's infinitely-respawning soldiers, while Eivor has to fight Eadwyn alone. However, drawing Eadwyn out of the inner courtyard, back through the portcullis and into the first section of the castle, may cause the player's allies to break off and form up with Eivor. They will then attack Eadwyn as the "nearest" hostile NPC, leading to an easy 4-on-1 battle against the chapter's main boss.
	*Odin's words are a paraphrase of the first stanza of the ''Gestaþáttr'' (Guest's Chapter/Section) from the ''{{Wiki\|Poetic Edda}}'' text ''{{wiki\|Hávamál}}'' (Words of the High One), a collection of poems attributed to Odin that share his wisdom and guidance.

			Although Sigurd says the Danes will withdraw "north of River Ouse" after exchanging men with Aelfred, he is likely referring to the Great Ouse River, as the [[Ouse River]] is all the way north in [[Yorkshire\|Eurvicscire]].
