In this episode the jarl (tribal chief) sees one of his men looking at his wife. He invites the man to sleep with her, and the man eagerly accepts the opportunity. When he enters the bed chamber the jarl arrests him and has him killed.
Then, Ragnar asks Athelstan the same thing - would you like to sleep with my wife? The monk refuses, and is deemed unusually trustworthy.
