Uthred is being beaten by a Saxon warrior who wants information. In the following scene between Uthred and King Edward in the jail cell, the right side of Uthred's face and eye show cuts and abrasions, and it is severely swollen. This makes no sense because he was being beaten with the man's right hand. Then in the very next scene, Uthred is free but has no signs of swelling, and his left eye is now injured, not his right.
