Don't forget, it is author Bernard Cornwall who brought Uhtred to life in his 'The Last Kingdom' series of twelve books - weaving fact and fiction together in a memorable fashion.

[@8a41jt]

I've read the entire series and watched the TV version. Both stories have their high points: do I like the Uhtred on TV or in the written series better? I'm going with the books. In them, Uhtred was literate, and I could see better *why* he shifted alliances so. In the books, he *does* get Bebbanburg back, that episode is awesome. But we must remember that Mr. Cornwell's works -- like others of his standout series -- are historical fiction, gloriously done. Being fiction, many historical truths get changed and/or used to develop the story. This case is no different.

[@Seashed]

I prefer the book series. I think Uhtred in the books was a bigger warrior in stature than what is portrayed on tv.

[@Deescizzle]

Also, Bernard Cornwall mentions that he is a descendent of Udtred, which makes the books even better to read.

I'm curious as to why screen plays are written so differently than true historical fact, when characters such as Uhtred and Commodus are so fascinating as they were.

[@HistoryTime]

Definitely agree. Huge amounts of untapped potential! Although I might add that the Uhtred in the TV series is a hypothetical grandfather of this real historical Uthred.

[@greenshp]

Bernard Cornwell, author of the Last Kingdom series of novels upon which the TV series is based, is a descendant of Uhtred the Bold, and has said in interviews that he thought it might be interesting, from a storytelling point of view, to use the character of Uhtred and take him back 200 years. It works. I think Uhtred of Bebbanburg, the fictional character, is every bit as interesting as Uhtred the Bold, if not more. I think there is room for both.

[@karenrodriguez5993]

History Time thanks for clearing that up.

[@ModernDayRenaissanceMan]

Fully agree the stories of the real people are better. I am the 40th great grandson of Ragnar Lothbrok (if he is real) so I hate seeing Vikings (although I like the show for entertainment purposes) just make up crap as they go along (like Rollo being his brother). When there is no need for it. People who are uneducated (and we ALL know many people ARE) will take a lot of it as fact.

[@ronaldmalcolm5609]

I think there are three main reasons for this: 1 would be brevity; no matter how hard you try to be comprehensive and/or accurate, if you are covering an event of any length, you're going to have to cut something and thus choices are going to have to be made. For example, take a mini-series like North and South. Even though it's 10 or 11 episodes long and consist of something like 23 hours of television, the producers couldn't cover everything in the novels about two families, let alone do a comprehensive treatment of the war. The second reason is that of artistic license; producers, directors will often pursue an interpretation or "emotional truth" that takes preminence over hard fact. The third is budget/resources

[@wasp6594]

Good question. However, when Harald Godwinson's brother Tostig Godwinson allied himself with the Viking king Harald Hardrada in order to take England, the English forced marched to Stamford Bridge some 120 miles away. There, they defeated the Vikings once and for all. Then, news reached Harold that the Normans had landed at Hastings, so he force marched his depleted army all the way back and then fought the Normans. We all know that the English lost but it was a very close run thing, with the Normans being almost beaten. Consider what must have taken place. To force march an army with all their weapons and supplies necessary, then fight and win a major battle against a determined enemy, then force march that depleted army back to the South of England again to fight another fresher army and almost beat them. That says an awful lot about the English warrior abilities, stamina and courage.

Outstanding video. I'll have to watch it several more times to remember everything.

[@naomiklahn4623]

I have just finished book #4 in The Last Kingdom series - love Bernard Cornwell's humour and attention to detail. xx

[@Raemnant]

Its crazy to think all of these kingdoms and wars were fought in a land that is smaller than my own state of Florida

[@boxinsteadyeddie]

Raemnant just means they didn’t have to travel all that far for a good fight lol

[@blankslate6590]

Same with the Seminoles, etc etc, they just didn't write anything down.

[@olliered9924]

Lands probably felt much bigger then too 👍with no cars,planes,trains etc

[@tsunamitube3351]

But England is 1.7 times bigger than Florida bro...

[@Raemnant]

@@tsunamitube3351 England has a land area of 50,346 square miles. Florida is 65,755 square miles. You could have easily googled that yourself

Side comment, I have been to Bebbanburg....now Bamburgh. It is amazing. Now I'm into my 4th book of Bernard Cornwell, the Saxon Stories also amazing.

[@JaRule6]

I remember reading about this fellow when I read a book about Queen Emma and the Vikings. Thanks for reminding me about these people. I think I need to read that book again.

[@brokenfunny1419]

Great video, I remember when I read the books, Cornwell mentioned his inspiration for the character being real, but this was way more informative

I made it half way through season 4 before it poped up in my feed...... still creepy!

I’m tajik with persian root ethnicity, now living in U.K. 🇬🇧 and I can say the last kingdom is such awesome and best historical show of England. I have also learned a lot about utred and England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

I was looking for an excuse to not study and I found this show ... I am hooked.. I'm in my last episodes and I don't want it to end.

Great channel brother. Subbed. Is there a good online resource for viewing 1. Maps by year and/or 2. Timelines of major historical events?

I've just started watching this again.I lived on the doorstep of BABAMBA. TO REMEMBER HOW TO SPELL IT!...K.N.A Bamborough Castle today. And places like Lindisfarne,holy island,where I want my ash's scattered,that features more in Vikings,York,Northumbria,ect,I never realised I had such a cultured heritage!! Grandad was a WW1 hero,dad a fighter pilot,husband, a soldier in Afghanistan,sadly shot by the Taliban..But this made me SO very proud of my English heritage. I was born in Lundun,as they call it,my sister lives in Cornwallen as they called it,and I now reside in Wales.Really made me sit and think about our 1,000 yrs of British Monachy! I see that they now made series 4,cant wait to see it!London

Uhtred makes me forget how old I am. Omg. During his last baptism I thought my heart would stop!

LMAO! "Even his scars are handsome"

[@KLM738XO]

I used to live in Beamfleote. Never knew about the battle between the Saxons and the Danes in 894.

[@ambereverson8692]

The surname de Neville comes up after 1066 in Northumbria and holds the seat of Babbenbourgh. The anglosaxon married a norman and kept his arms but took her surname because it was more fortuitous to have a norman surname at that time. Proof of being of the line of Uhtrid is not documented, but it's possible. Something to investigate if you like genealogy and history.

[@Blalack77]

Interesting. And a good show. We always watch all of the episodes in just a couple of days.

[@wtfisditvoorbullshit]

I just finished watching the first season of 'The last kingdom'. Great show.

Just gets better..

why do people argue which is better between vikings and lost kingdom, they are both amazing shows, so im gonna enjoy both and not worry bout the bullshit.

[@godisincontrolamerica972]

Never HEARD of this! Thanks for the info.

[@kevinnorwood8782]

Loved The Last Kingdom. And even though this is the real, historical Uhtred, who's to say the character portrayed on the show isn't his ancestor or something? Remember how each episode starts: "I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred."

[@debbowske9733]

Anyone know an Uhtred?

[@goshnodo]

No because in the show Alfred the Great is currently ruling which gives us a timeline. 871-886

[@StixDarKlor]

Uhtred in the series is based on Uhtred from Bernard Cornwells books, Cornwell is a descendant of Uhtred the Bold but his stories are fiction set in real history.

[@lardonirdesco]

Its historical fact that the leaders of Bamburgh, up until around 933 (when the Vikings destroyed the castle) where named all named Uhtred, so "Uhtred son of Uhtred" would be both a continuous title for the eldest son of the ruler of the fortress as well as their name. The author Bernard Cornwell is a descendant of the ruling family of Bamburgh so is descendant of Uhtred the bold who would have been a grandson to the Uhtred from his stories.

[@rmzidann]

Father Pyrlig was great in every scene of the 4th Season! Alfred was sorely missed though. More Father Pyrlig please.

I can't believe Cnut, betrayed Uhtred like that. I wonder if people started calling him anagrams of his name after that.

[@lightartorias552]

Maybe that's where the famous insult originated xD

[@Nothing-qm5km]

Cnut is actually refered to as Cnut the Great just like Alfred the Great. The only 2 English kings to ever be called the great. The term C#nt would come from elsewhere I truly believe

So the real Uthred had a whole different story and never fought battle with Alfred the Great?

[@itaylord]

Traveler - correct.

[@lightofoldmorns]

This was the Uthred Son of those Uthred that yet to come.. The real Uthred was forgotten and his stories will never be known to anyone. - Well that was at least if you think the show was real.. lol 🤣

[@brandonriggle3860]

The show is historical fiction

[@Jakesepher265]

Basically set within 100 years earlier. I just hope our Uhtred the Godless doesn’t meet the same fate as the real one

[@williamthefloridano5290]

Out of curiosity, why are you using an image of Sir James “the Black” Douglas for Malcom II? There’s a 3 century difference between the two.

Read the books because the real Uhtred of Bebbanburg, who killed Ubba by the sea (the book one not the ACTUAL one) would never say dumb shit like that. Fate is inexorable.
