I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred, raised by Ragnar, son of Ragnar. I will not rest until there is peace between the Saxons and the Danes and my lands at Bebbanburg are restored.

One of the best shows ever! The acting, directing and cinematography is so stellar. 🔥

This series everything i wanted from Vikings... It is SO MUCH better! Vikings got worse and worse with each and every season and The Last Kingdom got better and better... What a great series!

Best show I've seen during quarantine... and I watched A LOT of stuff during quarantine

Bernard Cornwell, the Author of The Last Kingdom, is a direct descendent of Uhtred.
His real father was called William Oughtred (or Uhtred) who was a Canadian Airman in WW2.

He only became Cornwell because he was adopted and his father went back across the pond and left him in England

The best series I have ever watched nothing seems to compare to the acting and producing of this .
I felt this series draw me into it as if I was actually along side every actor .. amazing truly just amazing .. BTW I watch 5 series in 4 days there was no switching it off .
Never have I liked history in my 51 years now I cannot get enough, would be absolutely brilliant to have a series going thru all the centuries .

I've read all the books except the last one, waiting for it to be delivered. The author himself says Uhtred wasn't based on a real person. Just an amalgamation of historical figures combined with true historical events. He changed a few events for the storyline.

Doesn't matter.. Uthred of bebbenburg of The Last Kingdom will still be a hero in my eyes.

[IWoVex]

The most underrated show ever ! It's one of the best if not the best historical show i have ever seen I'm in love with everything in this show absolutely loved it 😍😍🔥

[thelstan-thestkingofengla]

I really really dont understand why this super masterpiece is so underrated, wish to watch ss5 soon

[Kesariya_Vilayati]

Loved the season 5 ending and sad that it's over now :(

[josephsmith]

One of the only shows just as good as the books

[Mr.Ut]

The book is awesome. Its written as an autobiography in style. Very good, you get alot of internal dialogue and mental notes from the narrator (who is Utred telling you his story).

Named our 115 lb American Bulldog Uhtred, he also has a brother Ragnar

[DPRyan-vdpp]

I love this series! I’ve watched it through 3 times now! Lol can’t wait for the new season to come out!

[jessejamez]

The last kingdom was seriously amazing 10/10

[Ozzzzelot]

Here because of “Leornende Eald Englisc “! He did not lie, your channel looks very promising already! Subbed.

Another interesting fact: by the time Svein Forkbeard (Svend Tveskæg) was king, the Danes had already converted to Christianity. Svein's father Harold Bluetooth (being the origin of the name of that sharing function on your various devices) famously had the conversion of the Danes inscribed on the Jelling Stones, and those rune stones are colloquially called the baptismal certificate of Denmark.
