The Last Kingdom

The Last Kingdom is a contemporary story of redemption,

vengeance and self-discovery set against the birth of England. The

series combines real historical figures and events with fiction, re-

telling the history of King Alfred the Great and his desire to unite

the many separate kingdoms into what would become England.

Set in the 9th century AD, many of the separate kingdoms of

what we now know as England have fallen to the invading

Vikings, only the great Kingdom of Wessex stands defiant under

its visionary King Alfred the Great. It is the last kingdom. Against

this turbulent backdrop lives Uhtred. Born the son of a Saxon

nobleman, he is orphaned by the Vikings and then kidnapped and

raised as one of their own. Forced to choose between the country

of his birth and the people of his upbringing, his loyalties are ever

tested. What is he — Saxon or Viking? On a quest to claim his

birthright, Uhtred must tread a dangerous path between both sides

if he is to play his part in the birth of a new nation and, ultimately,

recapture his ancestral lands.

The Last Kingdom is a show of heroic deeds and epic battles

but with a thematic depth that embraces politics, religion, warfare,

courage, love, loyalty and our universal search for identity.

Combining real historical figures and events with fictional

characters, it is the story of how a people combined their strength

under one of the most iconic kings of history in order to reclaim

their land for themselves and build a place they call home.
