Huh. I had never considered that before. Ulfric could have just Shouted Torygg to his knees and made him yield, killing him really was utterly unnecessary and, in my humble opinion, the fact he killed him rather than make him yield is just one more bit of proof in my belief he's just a power-hungry opportunist. If Ulfric just "wanted to prove his strength", defeating Torygg in a single move would have been more than enough. But no, he had to kill him. He couldn't become High King unless Torygg is dead. Which I believe is his main goal.

And before Zipper jumps at my throat, this is just my opinion. I'm not saying it's fact.
