The Last Kingdom Short Brief

The Last Kingdom is a historical drama series based on Bernard Cornwell's The Saxon Stories novels, set during the tumultuous period of the Viking invasions of England in the 9th and 10th centuries. The story follows Uhtred of Bebbanburg, a Saxon nobleman captured and raised by Vikings after his family's demise. Torn between his Saxon heritage and the Norse culture that raised him, Uhtred embarks on a quest to reclaim his ancestral home while navigating the complex political landscape of a divided England. Throughout the series, he encounters legendary figures such as King Alfred the Great, and the narrative explores themes of loyalty, identity, and the struggle for power amidst a backdrop of fierce battles and shifting alliances. With its rich storytelling, compelling characters, and dramatic battles, The Last Kingdom offers a gripping portrayal of a pivotal era in English history.
