you would think his uncle would have enough money to buy him back. maybe he thought that he going far away from the prince/king would be good for him. With that prince as the king i can see how the vikings lost control of England.
Historically the Prince/King was one of the greatest Vikings to have lived. Just a FYI.

Cnut the Great, also known as Canute or Knut (Old Norse: Knútr inn ríki[1] (c. 985 or 995 – 12 November 1035) was a Viking king of England and Denmark, Norway, and parts of Sweden. His successes as a statesman, politically and militarily, prove him to be one of the greatest figures of medieval Europe and yet at the end of the historically foggy Dark Ages, with an era of chivalry and romance on the horizon in feudal Europe and the events of 1066 in England, these were largely 'lost to history'.
Of course, he could be portrayed diffferently in the manga, but itt doesn't appear this way. Except, of course, the fact that he seems to have ditched Thorfinn, which is something I did not think he'd do.
