This scene opens with a wine brewed in person by a nobleman. The nobleman tells the king of Lithuania that he has come to beg for peace with the Norwegians. He has prepared a surprise for the king: he has picked several beautiful horses for him to ride. The king is shocked and asks the nobleman to get out of the way so that he and the general can enjoy the horses. He then orders the earl to leave the way. The earl refuses, saying that the king is drunk and that he is afraid that the troops will no longer be in charge of the king. He says that he will withdraw his title if the king does not allow him to go. When the king orders him to leave, he is shocked to find that the noblewoman has been listening to the king's conversation with the prince. She says that she knows that the prince is up to something, but the king still listens to her. She asks the king what else he wants her to do, and he orders her to leave
