Above: Prince Valiant's father King Aguar of Thule is aware that his grandson Prince Arn has fallen in love with the Viking maiden Lydia, daughter of the warrior-king Haakon. Since her mother's death long ago, Lydia has been raised among Haakon's rough and mannerless warriors. Aguar does not question Arn and Lydia's love for one another. But does Lydia have the makings of a queen, he wonders.
