The point with Alfred's thought process is that he's a visionary, a frail man that suffers from a sickness but is still able to use his knowledge and wits... he basically seeks to create England by uniting all of the christian kingdoms in order to share culture and protect the lands from foreign invaders.

[@m.hayden5944]

Something that speaks to Uhtred’s rash actions and poor choices, in the source books Uhtred is about 16 years old at the beginning of S1

[@atomskthepirateking2776]

Alfreds wife was an arranged marriage like most monarchies back in the day. So of course a marriage born not of love but of royal convenience will not have a strong bond. Alfred will stray because he didn't have a chance at other coochie when he was younger. Only his faith would stop his lustful ways.

[@granddaddyotaku636]

Alfred is a visionary. In history he is regarded as the first true king of all Saxons. Also, his work and successes leads to the first true kingdom of England and sets the steps in motion for the future of all kingdoms. You can say Alfred was the founding father of the future. He paved the way for what was to come. We are meant to root for him because the future owes its existence to him in a lot of ways. Of course this is slightly fictionalized so how the show goes about telling this story will still be surprising and take interesting turns you will not expect! :D it’s gonna be good 👍

[@dakingataleedo]

He led with his mind in the show and probably in real life too. And just like in this show, most of his successes were probably because of men we will never know the names of. Kings were rarely if ever on the front line in any battle.

[@MaxArch]

Actually it is Athelstan, his grandson is the 1st true king of all saxons, he is the one who manage to unite all faction in England during that period. Alfred more like a visionary, his vision is the 1st to unite England, but he didn't manage to do it.

[@GgCashh451]

He gets a little too much credit he has the stern attitude of a king but strategically he did nothing politically he almost made things worse and physically he obviously does nothing.

[@Aemond2024]

*Anglo-Saxons. Their mainland cousins long had a kingdom. And wtf is this about "the future" owes him its existance? This is a very Anglo-centric view, not true for other German peoples, let alone the world,

Alfred thinks a united England would be more peaceful. He also believes that it needs to have the same religion to be united. His logic makes sense for the time.

[@adlerzwei]

24:33 how is that a weird thought procress? England, United Kingdom, European Union, UNITED states of America? Throughout history there have always been those people who believed uniting (especially when you are under attack from a foreign power) was better than murdering each other. o.O

[@kurokami007]

@jota erre huh? you really think those countries have never been attacked?

[@adlerzwei]

@jota erre Are you dim? This show is literally about how the Saxon kingdoms United to repulse the Danes, Germany United to better protect themselves against the french, the 13 colonies came together to fight the British. 😐

[@samminicksm]

I think their point is more about forcing religions upon people and cultural erasure.

[@adlerzwei]

@@samminicksm Which makes no sense because the Saxon kingdoms already shared a common religion. You are confusing unification and expansionism. Most countries formed because people with a similar culture decided to come together.

[@jeeither]

I thirst for a different man on Last Kingdom that comes in the next season. But goddamn is Uhtred beautiful. I was waiting for your reactions to him emerging from the water, I knew the thirst would be real.

[@danielsieber4809]

Just so you know...Catholics and Protestants are sects of Christianity. All monotheistic religions are inherently less tolerant than polytheistic ones. Different pagan groups would frequently add or merge deities with one another because its easier to accept a new aspect of a different culture you may find novel. As opposed to monotheists, who's whole world view is threatened by the concept of a different deity, or even worshiping the same deity the "wrong" way.

[@caiptainawesome807]

That relay isn't true, tbh. Polytheistic religions were also prone to extreme acts of violence against hose different from them. The difference between monotheistic religions and polytheistic religions is that polytheistic religions made the argument that "your gods are weaker than ours." The most famous is the Romans persecuting Christians, but Rome rather famously did it to most other people and cultures as well. The best bet was to entirely subject as a Roman protectorate, but that eventually subsided as well. Greeks, the various Germanic, Gaulic, and Norse cultures did it. Muslims, Sub-Saharan African religions, Celtic religions in the british isles, native American cultures, etc. This isn't unique to any religion, type of religion, or even a lack of religion. People find excuses to kill others regardless of faith, or lack thereof.

[@kyroking9934]

It really isn’t Daniel. Maybe a bit more research will avert your ignorance.

[@aaronws9561]

Daniel, in many ways polytheistic religions were more “flexible” than monotheistic religions, but they aren’t any more “tolerant”. I think you’re thinking of the ease with which polytheistic religions adapt other deities to their own, but this isn’t tolerance any more than the Incan deities being adapted to Roman Catholicism was tolerant. See the difference?

[@matthewwalker5430]

@@dakingataleedo Vikings is almost entirely fiction, Last Kingdom is fiction blended with pretty accurate history (until season 4 where it begins to deviate a bit more). Vikings is wacky though, taking historical characters that lived more than a century apart and having them live together and stuff. Its a good show, but its nonsense.

[@Yngvelli]

Alfred is so much cooler in Last Kingdom than in Vikings. Hes like a religious Gus Fring, ruthless and pragmatic. It also doesnt shy away from how insanely religious he is. In vikings hes just a bland, forgettable pretty boy.

[@stevengrant4117]

Protestants persecuted catholics in England and Scotland. It's about who has power and not the religion itself

[@phoenixrose1192]

And the puritans persecuted everyone else, including the Evangelicals, Protestants, etc. Where does it end?

[@BrendanBeckett]

I assume they chose to use the word hump in this show because they can't say fuck and "have sex" sounds too modern. It's probably similar to the actual old English word too.

[@dakingataleedo]

Honestly I would not be surprised if they said fuck. Some sayings are timeless lmao

[@BillViolator]

@@SupernaturalLove100 No it wasn't. They deviated from the books too much and it gradually got worse. Alfred's absence was really appearent during the season. Also it felt like Uhtred was a side character. Running around endlessly and saving other people's children. That's the only thing he did this season. And don't get me started with the Mercian politics. They wasted 2 episodes with filler and uninteresting plot lines about politics that no one cared about. Overall it was a huge disappointment. Netflix should have kept Stephen Butchard as the head writer, it was his writing that made this show what it is.

The Ubba of this show is the same as the Ubba of the Vikings show. the Wessex king Alfred is the same as the Alfred in Vikings. Both are giving the same events just a couple of years aft the events of the last episode of Vikings, but this show more focused from the English perspective than the Norse perspective.

25:23 The protestants did plenty of oppression themselves though, just look at Irish history. And plenty of people call the Irish Potato famine a genocide - the blight was a natural disaster, the famine and deaths of Irish catholics that followed it was a result of criminal neglect from the absentee English protestant landlords. And there's a reason why it was such a big deal that JFK was the first openly catholic president, they were looked down upon in America for years. Don't get me wrong, I'll never deny the atrocities committed by the Catholic Church, but the protestants did just as much harm and through more than simply the witch trials.

It does sound modern, but there was a word in Germanic (also including Anglo-Saxon) "FUCCAN" meaning "to penetrate" or "to stab". It would be silly for them to say: "This shit is lit af!"

Every belief ends up with that. Because of my ancestors' history, i learnt many diffirent religion ends up to trying to destroy other. For example, believing eternal blue sky was very common thing for Asian nomads and while someone was discussing why they try to conqueur everywhere they were tell them this "What why? Such non sense. Eternal blue sky give me the mission of conqueuring everywhere that i can see. I'm his flesh and blood in the earth.". Also there is Muslims have ghazas cihads type of things, Catholics who crusades even on Orthodox cities, Shamanist/animalist people who says he is the son of great white wolf who will unite all people under his flag type of things. Those are mostly for justifying their action but time flows and people forgot why their ancestors did. After that, it just become a divine mission for them. Then they started to dehumanize people who don't look like them and that's where Colonists started to bring suffer for everybody except white Europeans who are "human".
