The True Story of Uhtred of Bebbanburg | The Last Kingdom 

My favourite show ever

The books are very good

i agree,great series

My thoughts exactly!

It is the best series I ever see

Oh watch Vikings! Both shows are great but IMO Vikings is so much more thrilling and encompassing

that show sucks 😂😂😂

I have never in my life loved a show more.

@@rustyshackleford9017 you're crazy. Most people jump off when Ragnar dies. The final 2 seasons are the best. Best ending to a show EVER.

@@blade1300 X for big doubt

Destiny is all....

@@luibaybay7727 u completed it! 😊

@@pranc236 😃

Destiny is all

Am I the only one who thought that the "destiny is all" motto was kind of silly?

This deserve many awards the academy is bias!

I agree. Started it again after I finished the series and I never do that. Was truly a phenomenal show.

I have watched it multiple times from first to last. The characters are so compelling.

It’s definitely my favorite show of all time nothings ever made me feel that way

It’s the worst show I’ve ever watched in my life. The books were so good then the show is just soo bad comparatively.

First of all I love your screen name because I also am an Eagles fan. And I completely agree about the television shows especially the last Kingdom. My wife and I are watching it for the second time.

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. One conclusion: the writer has his own view on what life was like back then, and it's a rather condemning view he has, seems he thinks people were idiotic fools.

@@Phobos1483 it's based on a series of books. First complaint of its kind I've heard. The history isn't all there but the show gets great reviews .

The books are great

@@odenoki9571 Imagine that of a series set in England during the Viking era. It's an outrage.

When is it coming out?

@@seppgreap463 end of 2022 or beginning of 2023 according to reports I've read.

for real? im in the middle of the show now i started it last week and its phenomenal. super glad to know theres a movie coming

@@greyfacedmanishere8312 I just finished all 5 seasons.. It's was an amazing body of wrk

thank you

Such a bitter(AF) sweet ending

Hello Annie👋👋, how are you doing today?????

Great. I'm almost there😢

It ain't over. It will end with a 2 hour follow up movie named 7 kings must die.

@@Obby_Unsk it really is. uhtred goes through so much and receives so little. I haven’t read the books but I imagine his story ends in a similar fashion.

Hello distant cousin ! I'm also descended from the Ughtred family as my grandmother was called Helen Oughtred and Bernard Cornwell is a cousin of mine . Pleasure to meet you .

So does it beat the vikings...?

I've never seen vikings, is it worth watching?

FrigidLava it’s a really good show too! You’ll love it if you give it a chance. It’s not as historically accurate as TLK, but it’s still definitely worth watching

tatenda mudarikwa when it comes to how accurate it is, it does. But I can’t choose on which one I like more as a whole

@@frigidlava617 ….Vikings is a wonderful show, I watched that first then watched TLK. love them both, give it a go , I’m sure you’ll really enjoy it.

So did I !!!

I liked that Bernard Cornwell dedicated the lady book in the series to Alexander Dreymon

Lindo? Deveria existir um outro adjetivo para a beleza total que ele recebeu de Deus.

Hello beautiful

I fell in love with Sigtryggr. I even bought a throw blanket with him on it. Lol. True!

Km.

Fr

Yeah her character was pretty corny

Hahah sameeeee, its the best ever series i have ever watched

This is a series of books by Bernard Cornwell. The books are even better than the show!

Not really...have u been following the discoveries technology has allowed in the fossils of pre modern men evolution...pre neanderthal . I highly recommend the channel north 2 for great summary of whats been going on ..he isnt one of those extreme liberal fantasy for lgbtq pedo genital obssessed professors who think a twist of grass is somehow proof of technology from millions of years ago...

It seems lime along of the people commenting don't know there is a book series the show is based on lol the book series is fantastic and now I'm going to look for this winter king trilogy

@@jordanbradley3819 I can highly recommend it! For gritty, dark worlds you might also like Joe Abercrombie. If you've never read any of his stuff.

I just finished The Last Kingdom and enjoyed it so much (and the Vikings show) that I want to read Cornwell's books. Looking at Goodreads, the majority of his novels seem to have really strong ratings, which is a great sign. I also really need to get into reading Joe Abercrombie XD

​@@ladyfox6705 his novels are awesome!!! Have all of them and they are great stories. I read them over and over, bliss!

@@laurag7295 good to know! Thanks, Laura 😊

More last kingdom content coming out !!

And mostly historically true too, at least with regards to all of the events, times, places, and most of the characters.

The books the show is based on are fantastic. Bernard Cornwell, who wrote them is an excellent historical fiction writer.

❤️♥️💕💙💙

His books about King Arthur are excellent also. I like that he writes it from a military and historical perspective instead of a fantasy one.

I'm looking for summer reads, I'll check it out!

@@thejudgmentalcat It is a good book.

There’s 12 more books a part of that series bro the show was based off the books

Man I devoured the library when I was away also! The gym and library kept me going

No we don't! It has been Media'd to death.

Hello Maria, how are you doing today???

I adore Bernard Cornwell's novels, he is a magnificent writer! I have all the novels, the dvds of the Sharpe series and have my local video store guy finding me The Last Kingdom dvd series too. I will have to get him to go after the movie when it comes out.

@@laurag7295 You are a fan! I just finished the Witcher book series, and it’s very good. Beautifully written. The Poldark books are excellent.

@@maramakesjournals2319 thanks !

7 Kings? Must be about the Battle of Brunanburgh.

Already finished I assume? I would rank this right after Vikings. Nothing else comes close to both

We still have the movie coming, Seven Kings Must Die.😉

@@AliciaFrvr Exvcellent :)

Thank you for watching !!!

he doesn’t have to be..

I Love Alex. He is a wonderful actor, is fantastic as Uhtred and he seems to be a genuinely nice man. He deserves all the attention he's no doubt getting now from the industry and fans. Next time you see or speak with him please tell him Hello from me in Sydney, Australia. Cheers. 🍻 ☮️❤🦘🇦🇺

@Little Greek Coffee House, Alex is perfect as Utred! I cannot see anyone else cast as Utred! He is an amazing actor and I can't wait to see the movie Seven Kings Must Die!

Wait really? Do you think we could talk to him? He is my favorite character and actor, it would be a dream to talk with him.

Wow lucky u ! He is amazing & soooo gorgeous

Oh, that is so special. Please say hi to him from me and my fam from tiny nation, PNG. We love his character (which he acted well) and the series in general. 🥰

That is so cool!

It's amazing that you could trace your ancestry back that far. I'm REALLY impressed 👍.

Yeah how did you trace it back that far? I'd be interested to see how far back I could trace my own

Mine too !

The information I have about the family was the same that was given to BC about the Oughtred family by John Hayes Jenkinson from Canada in the 1960's .

Infelizmente a série deixou a desejar! A história vai além do que fou contada e o final, bem mesmo com o filme, Deus pra dar um final correto

Hello Kathy 👋👋, how are you doing today???

Hello Kathy 👋👋, how are you doing today???

I just finished the show last week, your in for a treat! I absolutely loved it.

Yes, same here. I just started season 2. I didn't realize how many seasons the show ran for. I got a lot to catch up on...

He truly was! Check out my video on him!

It is beyond sickening that an upstart like the opportunistic Godwin's son, Harold "the last Anglo Saxon king" will come around to remove King Edmund's grandson from the legitimate throne of the House of Wessex. It came good to Godwinson his comeuppance in Senlac hill, for usurpation.... however at the price to lose all England for the Saxons to the French Normans

So am I ! My grandmother was called Helen Oughtred and I'm a distant cousin of Bernard Cornwell . Pleased to meet you .

Ancestor? I think you meant descendant.

I spelled "the" wrong. Thank you, I misspoke.@@rhondajkestin

@lisawest6533 If you're an ancestor means Uhtred is a descendant (born through one of your children). Considering how long ago Uhtred lived, you HAVE to have possibly been born to one of HIS descendants.

Okay I understand. I misspoke.You can be right. Move on girl.@@rhondajkestin

Thank you for watching jamie!!!

Thank you so much Diane!!!

Thank you so much for watching Diane!!!

Grèetings, and it's your favorite series as a fan of mine?

Rome from hbo. It's considered the first mega TV show that inspired GoT or Spartacus style epics

Vikings Valhala [series - Amazing!] Set more than 100 years after the events of Vikings, the Netflix series has followed the increased tensions between the Vikings and the native English, as well as the warring factions of the traditional pagan Vikings and those with Christian beliefs. 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.

@@jennydany watched it ;) liked the first season. Second season was meh .

@@Dilly_Dil1y I see. Personally, I most liked the Vikings Valhalla 2nd season, because of the dramatically escalated action, plus its historical knowledge. Also, the battle scenes were grate. Now waiting for the Season 3...

Thank you for watching !!!

@@christophersayrs907 I’m only quoting back Bernard Cornwell when I say this. I don’t profess to having any deep insight into ‘Old Norse’. Not quite sure what you mean by ‘it referred to the actual undertaking and not the undertaking itself’. Could you explain further. 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 and people do actually say ‘I tripped’ in more than one context 😂. Especially if they’ve been dabbling if you get my meaning😜. Just adding a little humour.

@@christophersayrs907 I get you. Somebody better tell Bernard lol.

@@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.

no doubt. nicked in his neck out of the blue. favorite character of the show.

That one was hard and so was Beocca but Brida was painful to watch.

@@BlueAlien1313 yeah those were hard to take.

But not the Uhtred of The Last Kingdom .

@@Mark64W Same guy.

@@stevenwilgus5422 Ok , without wishing to get into an argument I guess you may be part of the Oughtred ( and extended ) family ? The Oughtred family tree was the inspiration for the books given to Bernard Cornwell by his birth father William Oughtred , a Canadian Airman when they met . We must be very distant cousins if he was your 26th Paternal Great grandfather . As mentioned my grandmother was called Helen Oughtred and Uhtred / Ughtred The Bold was my 29th Great Grandfather . All the best , Mark .

@@Mark64W I can trace my ancestry to eight of his great grand children. There was only one Uhtred of Bebbenburgh.

Really

Thank you so much! Destiny is all!

I read this as well.

I think this is correct

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!

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.

The show is never going away. You have your whole life to watch it. I watched 1 episode a week.

@@victorbf124 I get sucked in and obsessed so easily lol

They have 5 seasons And a movie in 2023 upcoming
