The Last Kingdom
Het is het jaar 872, veel van de Koninkrijken die wij nu kennen als Engeland zijn veroverd door de Noormannen, alleen Wessex is nog onafhankelijk onder leiding van Koning Alfred (David Dawson – Peaky Blinders). De held Uhtred (Alexander Dreymon – American Horror Story) leeft in deze turbulente wereld. Hij is geboren als de zoon van een Saksische edelman en gevangen genomen en groot gebracht door de Noormannen. Zijn loyaliteit wordt op de proef gesteld als hij wordt gedwongen om te kiezen voor zijn geboorteland of zijn opvoeders. Wat is hij; Saksisch of Noorman? Uhtred gaat op een missie om zijn geboorterecht te claimen, hiervoor moet hij een gevaarlijk pad bewandelen tussen beide partijen als hij een rol wil spelen in het ontstaan van een nieuwe natie en uiteindelijk zijn land te heroveren. Van de producers van Downton Abbey.
After Uhtred follows his father to the battlefield, he watches his father's death from the sidelines, when the invading Danes capture Uhtred he is brought up as one of them after proving himself.
Uhtred and Brida are on the run. Uhtred attempts to clear his name for a wedding massacre. Brida finds an inventive use for a twig.
Uhtred wins the protection of Alfred, but this newfound allegiance might also cost him his relationship with Brida. Meanwhile, Brida harbors a secret of her own.
A cunning tactical play by King Alfred keeps Uhtred close at heel, but it's not long before Uhtred realizes he's been tricked and his relationship with the King hits a new low. Meanwhile, a great battle looms over Wessex.
Uhtred puts himself forward for a daring stealth mission to outflank the Danes and destroy their ships, but in the process he attracts Ubba's attention and is challenged to a one-on-one fight to the death.
Uhtred and Leofric lead a raiding party to Cornwall, on a mission for wealth and independence. The party becomes mercenaries for a Cornish King and Uhtred attracts the attention of a beautiful sorceress queen named Iseult. Iseult's charms and the promise of silver make Uhtred feel like he finally has the chance of a new start.
Uhtred and Leofric must face off against each other in a death match-a consequence of their actions in Cornwall. But there are ominous signs of a greater battle to come - The Danes launch an invasion on Wessex, pouring through the streets and killing all in their path.
The future of England is at stake and the King refuses to hide. He is a man on a mission. Leaving the cover of the marshes, a united King Alfred and Uhtred must get word to Saxon forces; they make a rallying call to all Saxon armies to converge at Egbert's Stone to fight a decisive battle against the Danes.
