The last kingdom has made me cringe too many times. Horrible writing, illogical actions that yield the same horrible results again and again, the characters never learn and seem to continuously allow the treasonous snakes among them to destroy their people.

This has been the best series I have ever seen. Now have my husband watching it so he’ll understand the movie when released. Can’t wait. Perfect choices for each actor. ❤

I had previously read that there were two or three Uhtreds (the first, second, etc.), and indeed, the great warrior did come later, as pointed out here. I assume that Uhtred (in 'The Last Kingdom') represents them all, as well as any great general/warrior/strategist who would have been a vital part of any of the various kings' armies, and of whom would have been greatly depended upon, though not necessarily documented in history. Anyway, 'The Last Kingdom' is a fantastic series which just gets better and better with each season!

Focusing on the adventures of famous Vikings Leif Eriksson, Freydis Eriksdottir and Harald Sigurdsson, the first season began with the St Brice's Day Massacre in 1002, and the show has the potential to continue on until 1066, considered the end of the Viking age by many historians.

Great video. Point of fact, the word viking is actually a verb rather than a noun. It refers to the practice of seaborne raiding into 'enemy lands to steal silver, cattle or whatever else they could lay their hands on, killing any who put up any resistance. To go viking was to jump in a ship, head for foreign shores and loot, burn, rape and pillage, then sail home with the spoils. The people doing the viking were referred to as Danes, Norse, Svear and even Rus, although they all ultimately originated from Scandinavia. The Normans, noteable for one of their leaders 'William' who became known as the Conqueror, who invaded Saxon England in 1066, were also from Scandinavia, hence the denomination 'Norman' from 'Norse Men'. Very much enjoyed this video.

If you have a deeper understanding of this then I’m perfectly prepared to accept your point of view. Bernard Cornwell had obviously done a great deal of research when he put this into the forward of the first book in the series ‘The Last Kingdom’. Could you provide your credentials? I’m very interested to know. I was always convinced that Vikings referred to the collective peoples who invaded England (and many other parts of Europe and further afield) during the 9th century and onwards. It was only reading BCs forward that convinced me otherwise.

@@christophersayrs907 But it is not a people? You seem to be getting very muddled., Whether it is a noun or a verb is not the issue here, the issue is whether it was actually applied to a specific group of people. Evidence would suggest that it was not. We had 'Pirates' but they could have been from anywhere. In fact Vikings and Pirates are very similar, in that they attacked from the sea, raped, pillaged, took slaves and went! No one has every suggested that Pirate was a race? So why is Viking?

@@hogwashmcturnip8930 I disagree that the issue is "whether it was actually applied to a specific group of people," and thank you terribly much for foisting the muddiness upon me, while it appears that you, dear sir, are the one getting very muddled. "Viking" is a noun, and if you'd read above, it did apply to a very specific group: "a group of people related to Vik (perhaps Erik, but this reference is, alas, lost). It ALSO applies to a raid by those related to Vik, and even a ship owned/used by a group of people related to Vik. "Pirates," take anyone as you said, so your analogy is poor, indeed. Did you read above? Wuffing means those related to Wuffa and Viking means those related to Vik. C'mon now. Read.

Awesome series love history

I was going to watch the series, but I wasn’t sure what it was I would be watching and who they were in history, so thank you for this. Some of the things you mentioned I recognized from the recent Vikings series, which I really enjoyed. Subbed! Cheers!

Really

I can actually trace my ancestry directly back to Lady Alice Stourton de Berkeley, from which point I can further trace my ancestry directly back to Alfred the Great, Cnut the Great, and Uhtred the Bold. I know that makes me just one of millions, but it makes this story all the more interesting to me. I'd be happy to share details of the lineage if you're interested.

Bernard Cornwell is one of my favorite authors and I have read the Uhtred series of novels. Knowing that he is a descendant o the great man makes me want to read them all again from that perspective.

Cornwell's Uhtred is Fictional, as is most of the saga. As Cornwell was adopted, they must have done some real detective work to find his link to the Historical Uhtred.

Really enjoyed the Netflix series watched it all the way thru been waiting on this video !!!!!! 👏🏼🥂🍿

I totally binge watched this from start to finish and have just watched seven kings must die on netflix will binge watch again from start to finish

Bernard Cornwell has wrote some excellent books. Great narration Ollie. Thank you so much. 🍎💃👌

He has written books that made him a lot of Money! As long as you appreciate it is utter BS that is OK. It's a bit like Phillipa Gregory and Hilary Mantel. Make it up as you go along, and because your readers generally have No Clue about the period they will assume it is All True!

Discovers Uhtred the bold is related to him and then proceeds to turn him into an unkillable warrior god

So darn interesting I just love this history love the show “ The Last Kingdom “ it’s brilliant.

This was awesome 👏

I think the show version of Uthred is combination of generations of knights that served the crown or something like this!

I think this is correct

THE LAST KINGDOM ES PARA MI UNA DE LAS MEJORES SERIES LOS ÚLTIMOS TIEMPOS, LA ACTUACIÓN DE ALEXANDER DREIMON ES MAGNÍFICA, ME ENCANTA Y LA CAMADERIA CON SUS COMPAÑEROS Y LAS BATALLAS SON UNICAS,LO QUE MÁS ME GUSTA ES QUE AL FINAL, SE COBRA TODO LO QUE LE HICIERON LOS REYES,TODA LA VIDA QUÉ LE ROBARON, NO PUDO DISFRUTAR DE SUS HIJOS PERO LE PAGARON TODO EL MAL QUE LE HICIERON.

Unbelievable. What a beautiful character

Was an incredible series...and am loving these videos! Thank you...Do have a question...The map of the different kingdoms at about :40 is wonderful! Can I ask where you found it?
