I absolutely think this has been the best tv series I have ever seen! I have never felt so immersed in a show. I loved how all the actors portrayed the characters. . And in the process I've learnt a lot about the history and formation of England!
Just finished watching the last kingdom and without doubt it is the best thing I’ve ever seen on tv in my 54 years on this planet,not a single episode was disappointing,well done to all the actors and crew,FANTASTIC 👍👍👍
I binged this series earlier this year as I was recovering from a surgery & I literally became depressed after I watched the ending! This was hands down the greatest show I’ve ever seen!
@@Obby_Unsk it really is. uhtred goes through so much and receives so little. I haven’t read the books but I imagine his story ends in a similar fashion.
I loved the series and most definitely adored Uhtred as a character and hero! I honestly feel that the hero was played magnificently by the actor Alexander Dreymon and what a gorgeous looking man! I adored him!
We’re watching the Last Kingdom for the second time. Absolutely love it and all the characters are just perfectly cast. Bravo. And Alexander. You’re so handsome. Damn
First of all I love your screen name because I also am an Eagles fan. And I completely agree about the television shows especially the last Kingdom. My wife and I are watching it for the second time.
The last kingdom has made me cringe too many times. Horrible writing, illogical actions that yield the same horrible results again and again, the characters never learn and seem to continuously allow the treasonous snakes among them to destroy their people. One conclusion: the writer has his own view on what life was like back then, and it's a rather condemning view he has, seems he thinks people were idiotic fools.
I've watched the entire series 3 times. Such an incredible saga. Great characters, fascinating and rivetting history and story lines that keep you engaged at every stage. An amazing show.
"My name is Uhtred, son of Uhtred. I was born an ealdorman of Northumbria, the rightful heir to Bebbanburg. But fate decreed I would be raised as a Dane. That was my life... Until my family was murdered."
FrigidLava it’s a really good show too! You’ll love it if you give it a chance. It’s not as historically accurate as TLK, but it’s still definitely worth watching
Not really...have u been following the discoveries technology has allowed in the fossils of pre modern men evolution...pre neanderthal . I highly recommend the channel north 2 for great summary of whats been going on ..he isnt one of those extreme liberal fantasy for lgbtq pedo genital obssessed professors who think a twist of grass is somehow proof of technology from millions of years ago...
The books The Saxon Stories that were the inspiration for the show are among my absolute favorites. Cornwell's descriptive writing draws you in and the description of battle makes you feel like you're there.
I have just finished The Last Kingdom and it is stunningly fantastic 👏 I was taken into the Daneland from the moment go until the very end. Not a dull moment. Excellent 👍
Absolutely loved Vikings and valhala now The last Kingdom 👌loved all the history about all the different kings and the viking leaders, Watch them all you won't be disappointed, we need more of these programs
I only started watching The Last Kingdom a month ago. And yes, I've finished the 5 seasons, and enjoyed them! Thank you for this history of Ultred! I look forward to the 7 Kings must die!
Great to learn the historical facts of Uhtred of Babbenburg. I just loved the series, “The Last Kingdom”. Even though the series was not formed around the historic timeline, the series piqued my interest in the historical characters themselves 🤔
Alexander Dreymon is such an amazing actor. When Uhtred cried, I bawled like baby. I felt all his pain and all his happiness. I would love more Viking movies based on history. This series was so interesting and all the actors did an amazing job except for Skade. Thank goodness her role wasn't long lived.
The Last Kingdom is by far my favorite series, wish it could continue. Then I find out that Uhtred the Bold is my 27x grandfather through his daughter Ealdgyth! Suffice it to say that I was just giddy to find I was descended from the historical Earl of Northumberland!
Hello distant cousin ! I'm also descended from the Ughtred family as my grandmother was called Helen Oughtred and Bernard Cornwell is a cousin of mine . Pleasure to meet you .
This has been the best series I have ever seen. Now have my husband watching it so he’ll understand the movie when released. Can’t wait. Perfect choices for each actor. ❤
Absolutely love this series. Loved Bamburgh castle when I went there years ago and so knew the story but this series so brought it to life. Love Uthred.
Uhtred is a hero and SO handsome in the movie. Could look at him forever! And he is a great actor. They were wonderful together. The actors. Loved this series💞
For anyone who may be interested, Bernard Cornwell also wrote "The Winter King" trilogy about King Arthur, chronicled through the eyes of the protagonist Derfel. It is being optioned for a series, and is every bit the story equal to The Saxon Chronicles.
It seems lime along of the people commenting don't know there is a book series the show is based on lol the book series is fantastic and now I'm going to look for this winter king trilogy
I just finished The Last Kingdom and enjoyed it so much (and the Vikings show) that I want to read Cornwell's books. Looking at Goodreads, the majority of his novels seem to have really strong ratings, which is a great sign. I also really need to get into reading Joe Abercrombie XD
Loved the Last Kingdom and was upset that it's finished as we have so many channels to watch but so few quality shows are out there but I found this excellent RUclips video and it's making up for no more Last Kingdom.
My favorite show ever, along with Titantic. Alexander Dreymon did a fantastic job in the role of Uhtred and it is hard to see him as any other character. I raise my cup to all the actors and how well they played their characters.
The Last Kingdom was one of the best shows I have watched since Game of Thrones! So many moments brought tears to my eyes. Rooting for Uthred every the of the way! #DestinyIsAll 👏
I Love Alex. He is a wonderful actor, is fantastic as Uhtred and he seems to be a genuinely nice man. He deserves all the attention he's no doubt getting now from the industry and fans. Next time you see or speak with him please tell him Hello from me in Sydney, Australia. Cheers. 🍻 ☮️❤🦘🇦🇺
@Little Greek Coffee House, Alex is perfect as Utred! I cannot see anyone else cast as Utred! He is an amazing actor and I can't wait to see the movie Seven Kings Must Die!
Oh, that is so special. Please say hi to him from me and my fam from tiny nation, PNG. We love his character (which he acted well) and the series in general. 🥰
It is beyond sickening that an upstart like the opportunistic Godwin's son, Harold "the last Anglo Saxon king" will come around to remove King Edmund's grandson from the legitimate throne of the House of Wessex. It came good to Godwinson his comeuppance in Senlac hill, for usurpation.... however at the price to lose all England for the Saxons to the French Normans
I read the books, some more than once. They are fabulous. Bernard Cornwell is probably my favorite author. The Sharpe’s Rifles series is also fabulous, and Sean Bean made a wonderful Richard Sharpe on tv. Thank you for the history here, tho it’s quite the spoiler to hear of Uhtred’s assassination.
I adore Bernard Cornwell's novels, he is a magnificent writer! I have all the novels, the dvds of the Sharpe series and have my local video store guy finding me The Last Kingdom dvd series too. I will have to get him to go after the movie when it comes out.
Best series out there. I saw 7 kings must die forst and then the series. Now i see the whole story..everyone's reign and death took on a whole new meaning after all was done.
the series was amazing! I have other vidoes on all the characters from the last kingdom! Alfred, Aethelflaed, Edward, Aethelstan, Haesten you name it! Be sure to check them out!
I dwell in the LAND of the Prince Bishops, of Old Dunelm, once of Danelaw once of the Kingdom of Bernicia north of the Shires. County Durham. The Cross of Saint Cuthbert is at the present flying on my flagpole in my back garden, the Durham Flag, and today is Saint Cuthberts Day.
Wonderful true historical piece. Love this stuff. Love the Last Kingdom show. It's obviously not even 50% historically accurate but some of the themes of characters even whole families and people being stuck between Saxon and Dane at the time and the stress of uniting England and the Church are true historical themes and the story does justice to that I think.
awesome Vid Ollie loved the tv series and even I looked into the real Uhtred of Bebbanburg an interesting man by all accounts I like your profiles on these legendary Saxon and Viking Heroes looking forward to the next one as always plus the tv series is kickass
I really like it and repeated again watching after finishing the series. I studied European History and found the series almost accurate. Thanks want to watch Seven Kings Must Die. A continuation of some sort for the series
I was going to watch the series, but I wasn’t sure what it was I would be watching and who they were in history, so thank you for this. Some of the things you mentioned I recognized from the recent Vikings series, which I really enjoyed. Subbed! Cheers!
The information I have about the family was the same that was given to BC about the Oughtred family by John Hayes Jenkinson from Canada in the 1960's .
The Last Kingdom is an anomaly in TV history. I've never been so invested in the characters of anything else. It is really something special. "Destiny is all"
@lisawest6533 If you're an ancestor means Uhtred is a descendant (born through one of your children). Considering how long ago Uhtred lived, you HAVE to have possibly been born to one of HIS descendants.
Bernard Cornwell is one of my favorite authors and I have read the Uhtred series of novels. Knowing that he is a descendant o the great man makes me want to read them all again from that perspective.
Cornwell's Uhtred is Fictional, as is most of the saga. As Cornwell was adopted, they must have done some real detective work to find his link to the Historical Uhtred.
Great video. Point of fact, the word viking is actually a verb rather than a noun. It refers to the practice of seaborne raiding into 'enemy lands to steal silver, cattle or whatever else they could lay their hands on, killing any who put up any resistance. To go viking was to jump in a ship, head for foreign shores and loot, burn, rape and pillage, then sail home with the spoils. The people doing the viking were referred to as Danes, Norse, Svear and even Rus, although they all ultimately originated from Scandinavia. The Normans, noteable for one of their leaders 'William' who became known as the Conqueror, who invaded Saxon England in 1066, were also from Scandinavia, hence the denomination 'Norman' from 'Norse Men'. Very much enjoyed this video.
@@christophersayrs907 I’m only quoting back Bernard Cornwell when I say this. I don’t profess to having any deep insight into ‘Old Norse’. Not quite sure what you mean by ‘it referred to the actual undertaking and not the undertaking itself’. Could you explain further. If you have a deeper understanding of this then I’m perfectly prepared to accept your point of view. Bernard Cornwell had obviously done a great deal of research when he put this into the forward of the first book in the series ‘The Last Kingdom’. Could you provide your credentials? I’m very interested to know. I was always convinced that Vikings referred to the collective peoples who invaded England (and many other parts of Europe and further afield) during the 9th century and onwards. It was only reading BCs forward that convinced me otherwise.
@@christophersayrs907 and people do actually say ‘I tripped’ in more than one context 😂. Especially if they’ve been dabbling if you get my meaning😜. Just adding a little humour.
@@christophersayrs907 But it is not a people? You seem to be getting very muddled., Whether it is a noun or a verb is not the issue here, the issue is whether it was actually applied to a specific group of people. Evidence would suggest that it was not. We had 'Pirates' but they could have been from anywhere. In fact Vikings and Pirates are very similar, in that they attacked from the sea, raped, pillaged, took slaves and went! No one has every suggested that Pirate was a race? So why is Viking?
@@hogwashmcturnip8930 I disagree that the issue is "whether it was actually applied to a specific group of people," and thank you terribly much for foisting the muddiness upon me, while it appears that you, dear sir, are the one getting very muddled. "Viking" is a noun, and if you'd read above, it did apply to a very specific group: "a group of people related to Vik (perhaps Erik, but this reference is, alas, lost). It ALSO applies to a raid by those related to Vik, and even a ship owned/used by a group of people related to Vik. "Pirates," take anyone as you said, so your analogy is poor, indeed. Did you read above? Wuffing means those related to Wuffa and Viking means those related to Vik. C'mon now. Read.
I normally never watched these kinds of genre, but I tried the Vikings show and liked that so I tried the last kingdom and fell in love. Now I’m a big fan of these genres :D Edit: ok guys, recommend me a show like Vikings/last kingdom. Thanks ;)
Vikings Valhala [series - Amazing!] Set more than 100 years after the events of Vikings, the Netflix series has followed the increased tensions between the Vikings and the native English, as well as the warring factions of the traditional pagan Vikings and those with Christian beliefs. Focusing on the adventures of famous Vikings Leif Eriksson, Freydis Eriksdottir and Harald Sigurdsson, the first season began with the St Brice's Day Massacre in 1002, and the show has the potential to continue on until 1066, considered the end of the Viking age by many historians.
@@Dilly_Dil1y I see. Personally, I most liked the Vikings Valhalla 2nd season, because of the dramatically escalated action, plus its historical knowledge. Also, the battle scenes were grate. Now waiting for the Season 3...
They're all fiction. As is A Song of Ice and Fire, which The Game of Thrones is based on. That book series is inspired by my Plantagenet, Merovingian and Capetian ancestors. This includes the Red Wedding (I have two) and the Wall, inspired by Hadrian's Wall.
I had previously read that there were two or three Uhtreds (the first, second, etc.), and indeed, the great warrior did come later, as pointed out here. I assume that Uhtred (in 'The Last Kingdom') represents them all, as well as any great general/warrior/strategist who would have been a vital part of any of the various kings' armies, and of whom would have been greatly depended upon, though not necessarily documented in history. Anyway, 'The Last Kingdom' is a fantastic series which just gets better and better with each season!
Thank you. Uhtred is also one of my ancestors. I've been learning a lot of world history through my ancestors. They were a pretty interesting bunch of people. Lolololol
Uthred was a descendant of both the ealdermen of Bamburgh and a powerful thegn of Aethelstan from Mercia of the same name (Uthred being probably his grandson). Uthred is a Mercian name. In Alfred's time, the ealdermen of Bamburgh were crafty rulers who managed to deal with the Scots, the Welsh, and most importantly the Vikings keeping them at bay. They had a limited relationship with Alfred swearing an oath to him of friendship providing relics of Saint Cuthbert. I suspect that Alfred gave them in return silver and relics from southern saints. In 894, Aethelnoth led either an embassy or an army to York and may have met Osberth and Eardwulf of Bamburgh while in Northumbria. Cornwell created a composite character combining elements from the life of his ancestor and those of Aethelnoth, the Ealdorman of Somerset and a later abbot during Edward, Aethelstan, Edmund, and Eared's reigns, who lived past Edmund's time, living into his 90s. Aethelnoth's granddaughter maried Aethelweard the Chronicler after meeting the elderly survivor of Alfred's wars at the estate of Edington (Wiltshire) in 953 during one of King Eared's Witans and hearing Aethelnoth's stories. The meeting had a profound impact on Aethelweard, who arranged in his old age for one of his grandson to be named, Aethelnoth. Aethelnoth's deeds were important and his long life kept the memories of Alfred's wars alive for numerous generations of West Saxons and Mercians in the tenth centuries.
He has written books that made him a lot of Money! As long as you appreciate it is utter BS that is OK. It's a bit like Phillipa Gregory and Hilary Mantel. Make it up as you go along, and because your readers generally have No Clue about the period they will assume it is All True!
Please believe when I say, any one who claims a particular ancestor, is unless they have, Charters to land and DNA evidence are just guessing at their ancestry. Just because you may have a name that is close to or come from a certain area guarantees nothing. The recording of Birth, Deaths and Marriages , unless on personal papers is very hit and miss until the middle of the 17th Century, unless you have Irish Ancestry.
I see so many of your cousins here commenting. meet up guys. maybe in those Saxon/Viking attires. wd be good to know your cousins. and would be fun !!!
@@johnfisher697 I have seen people claiming to be the X grandchild of people who died childless. Even mythical characters! King Arthur? Total Fantasists, but it seems the Americans in particular have a need to claim 'Something' I find it very odd, because I was always led to believe the first emigrants were the poor, the dispossessed , criminals and religious nutters! Now we find out they were All Royalty! Fancy that! Let's face it no one had heard of Uhtred before the show! And it is horribly inaccurate, but now he is suddenly everybody 's Grandad! Hilarious!
@@hogwashmcturnip8930Good Morning Sir, yes it's amazing what ancestors people claim to have, also quite amazing are people putting "Destiny is all" not quite sure why but there you go. I don't know if its in this video but someone claimed him as an ancestor and I gave him lots of reasons as to why that is a very hard claim to prove but of course he assured me he could, In the end I gave up trying, I would hazard a guess and say the claimant's are American, and therein lies the problem for the most part.🤣 Cheers
They never do. I have to sit through at least 2 episodes of the Last Snoredom at my friends house every Wednesday. For some reason they think I am interested. Sorry but I like my history accurate? The Magic sword is fun! He loses it or has it taken from him so many times, yet it is back for the next battle! And Cornwell has always been a BS*tter. It's what he makes his living from. It is OK as Fantasy, but No Way is it History. For a start Uhtred lived 100 years After Alfred! It's a fun show, as long as you accept that it is Bollocks!
I've been afraid to start season 4. I discovered the show when the first 3 seasons were out and it ruined my productivity and sleep schedule in the best way lol. I was so obsessed and couldn't stop watching. Now I'm waiting for the free time to start season 4 that I can become a zombie and not miss work or something lol.

My favorite show ever, along with Titantic. Alexander Dreymon did a fantastic job in the role of Uhtred and it is hard to see him as any other character. I raise my cup to all the actors and how well they played their characters.
Best series Netflix ever produced
Wow, I always wondered how the exile came about with Æthelred the “Unready”. Lo and behold, Uhtred played a part in that. Incredibly interesting.
Great video. Bud... Cant wait for the the film of the last kingdom. 7. Kings must die. The headline alone it should tell us it will be really good..
7 Kings? Must be about the Battle of Brunanburgh.
The Last Kingdom was one of the best shows I have watched since Game of Thrones! So many moments brought tears to my eyes. Rooting for Uthred every the of the way! #DestinyIsAll 👏
And mostly historically true too, at least with regards to all of the events, times, places, and most of the characters.
Keep these coming please I just starting this show and I need the history on everyone. ❤️
I just finished the show last week, your in for a treat! I absolutely loved it.
Yes, same here. I just started season 2. I didn't realize how many seasons the show ran for. I got a lot to catch up on...
ABSOLUTELY adored The Last Kingdom and the star is gorgeous ❤️
I also loved this series and the books too. I wish more of Bernard Cornwell's books were TV series.
Love the series. At season 4 now. I was convinced by a friend to give it a chance because I loved vikings
Already finished I assume? I would rank this right after Vikings. Nothing else comes close to both
I've been friends with Alex for 16 years...it's so cool seeing him as the face of these types of videos!
I Love Alex. He is a wonderful actor, is fantastic as Uhtred and he seems to be a genuinely nice man.
He deserves all the attention he's no doubt getting now from the industry and fans.
Next time you see or speak with him please tell him Hello from me in Sydney, Australia. Cheers. 🍻
☮️❤🦘🇦🇺
@Little Greek Coffee House, Alex is perfect as Utred! I cannot see anyone else cast as Utred! He is an amazing actor and I can't wait to see the movie Seven Kings Must Die!
Wait really? Do you think we could talk to him? He is my favorite character and actor, it would be a dream to talk with him.
Oh, that is so special. Please say hi to him from me and my fam from tiny nation, PNG. We love his character (which he acted well) and the series in general. 🥰
Amazing movie iv ever seen this is totally realistic at my age37... I love this series❤
Edmund ironside sounds like a cool character, respected by both sides and an amazing swordsman
He truly was! Check out my video on him!
It is beyond sickening that an upstart like the opportunistic Godwin's son, Harold "the last Anglo Saxon king" will come around to remove King Edmund's grandson from the legitimate throne of the House of Wessex. It came good to Godwinson his comeuppance in Senlac hill, for usurpation.... however at the price to lose all England for the Saxons to the French Normans
I read the books, some more than once. They are fabulous. Bernard Cornwell is probably my favorite author. The Sharpe’s Rifles series is also fabulous, and Sean Bean made a wonderful Richard Sharpe on tv. Thank you for the history here, tho it’s quite the spoiler to hear of Uhtred’s assassination.
Hello Maria, how are you doing today???
I adore Bernard Cornwell's novels, he is a magnificent writer! I have all the novels, the dvds of the Sharpe series and have my local video store guy finding me The Last Kingdom dvd series too. I will have to get him to go after the movie when it comes out.
@@laurag7295 You are a fan! I just finished the Witcher book series, and it’s very good. Beautifully written. The Poldark books are excellent.
@@maramakesjournals2319 thanks !
He's my Favorite Author as well.
Another excellent video from HP
Best series out there. I saw 7 kings must die forst and then the series. Now i see the whole story..everyone's reign and death took on a whole new meaning after all was done.
the series was amazing! I have other vidoes on all the characters from the last kingdom! Alfred, Aethelflaed, Edward, Aethelstan, Haesten you name it! Be sure to check them out!
im still waiting for the season 5. i cant wait to see more Uthred's adventures. the best series on netflix
I dwell in the LAND of the Prince Bishops, of Old Dunelm, once of Danelaw once of the Kingdom of Bernicia north of the Shires. County Durham. The Cross of Saint Cuthbert is at the present flying on my flagpole in my back garden, the Durham Flag, and today is Saint Cuthberts Day.
Loved The Last Kingdom programme. Hope the real Uthread was as handsome as the one in the T.V. series!!
he doesn’t have to be..
I always thought uhtred was fictional character thank u, amazing video Ollie
Thank you for watching !!!
Fascinating history and excellently presented.
Really glad this came up in my feed. I enjoyed it and learned something!
Very interesting. I have read all of the books and have thoroughly enjoyed the series. Wish there were more episodes.
One of the best shows and movies ever
Wonderful true historical piece. Love this stuff. Love the Last Kingdom show. It's obviously not even 50% historically accurate but some of the themes of characters even whole families and people being stuck between Saxon and Dane at the time and the stress of uniting England and the Church are true historical themes and the story does justice to that I think.
Infelizmente a série deixou a desejar! A história vai além do que fou contada e o final, bem mesmo com o filme, Deus pra dar um final correto
awesome Vid Ollie loved the tv series and even I looked into the real Uhtred of Bebbanburg an interesting man by all accounts I like your profiles on these legendary Saxon and Viking Heroes looking forward to the next one as always plus the tv series is kickass
Thank you for watching jamie!!!
I really like it and repeated again watching after finishing the series.
I studied European History and found the series almost accurate. Thanks
want to watch Seven Kings Must Die. A continuation of some sort for the series
I was going to watch the series, but I wasn’t sure what it was I would be watching and who they were in history, so thank you for this. Some of the things you mentioned I recognized from the recent Vikings series, which I really enjoyed. Subbed! Cheers!
Really
Uhtred is one of my great grandfathers as well :)
That is so cool!
It's amazing that you could trace your ancestry back that far. I'm REALLY impressed 👍.
Yeah how did you trace it back that far? I'd be interested to see how far back I could trace my own
Mine too !
The information I have about the family was the same that was given to BC about the Oughtred family by John Hayes Jenkinson from Canada in the 1960's .
The Last Kingdom is an anomaly in TV history. I've never been so invested in the characters of anything else. It is really something special. "Destiny is all"
@@dosmatrix4470 it is incredible! My favourite early medieval tv show ! Destiny is all
Thanks Bearnard for this great series... The lost kingdom.
I totally binge watched this from start to finish and have just watched seven kings must die on netflix will binge watch again from start to finish
We need more Viking shows.
No we don't! It has been Media'd to death.
Wow! What a series!! I'm loving it. I'm glad I chose to watch it. It's magnificent. And Alexander Dreymon is sooooo handsome and charming.
Excelente serie. La Vi en 3 días. Me encantó la actuación de Alexander. Cómo uhtreed. Genial 👍
It's a masterpiece !!! Completely enjoyed watching it...
I just found that I am a descendant of Uhtred th Bold, so exciting. This series makes it all feel very real. @rhonda, have a nice day.
So am I ! My grandmother was called Helen Oughtred and I'm a distant cousin of Bernard Cornwell . Pleased to meet you .
Ancestor? I think you meant descendant.
I spelled "the" wrong. Thank you, I misspoke.@@rhondajkestin
@lisawest6533 If you're an ancestor means Uhtred is a descendant (born through one of your children). Considering how long ago Uhtred lived, you HAVE to have possibly been born to one of HIS descendants.
Okay I understand. I misspoke.You can be right. Move on girl.@@rhondajkestin
Very interesting. It's cool to know that great shows about the Vikings are actually based on real people. Thanks for the info... 💯
Bernard Cornwell is one of my favorite authors and I have read the Uhtred series of novels.
Knowing that he is a descendant o the great man makes me want to read them all again from that perspective.
Cornwell's Uhtred is Fictional, as is most of the saga. As Cornwell was adopted, they must have done some real detective work to find his link to the Historical Uhtred.
I got into all of this because I found him in my family history as well
Great video. Point of fact, the word viking is actually a verb rather than a noun. It refers to the practice of seaborne raiding into 'enemy lands to steal silver, cattle or whatever else they could lay their hands on, killing any who put up any resistance. To go viking was to jump in a ship, head for foreign shores and loot, burn, rape and pillage, then sail home with the spoils. The people doing the viking were referred to as Danes, Norse, Svear and even Rus, although they all ultimately originated from Scandinavia. The Normans, noteable for one of their leaders 'William' who became known as the Conqueror, who invaded Saxon England in 1066, were also from Scandinavia, hence the denomination 'Norman' from 'Norse Men'. Very much enjoyed this video.
@@christophersayrs907 I’m only quoting back Bernard Cornwell when I say this. I don’t profess to having any deep insight into ‘Old Norse’. Not quite sure what you mean by ‘it referred to the actual undertaking and not the undertaking itself’. Could you explain further. If you have a deeper understanding of this then I’m perfectly prepared to accept your point of view. Bernard Cornwell had obviously done a great deal of research when he put this into the forward of the first book in the series ‘The Last Kingdom’. Could you provide your credentials? I’m very interested to know. I was always convinced that Vikings referred to the collective peoples who invaded England (and many other parts of Europe and further afield) during the 9th century and onwards. It was only reading BCs forward that convinced me otherwise.
@@christophersayrs907 and people do actually say ‘I tripped’ in more than one context 😂. Especially if they’ve been dabbling if you get my meaning😜. Just adding a little humour.
@@christophersayrs907 I get you. Somebody better tell Bernard lol.
@@christophersayrs907 But it is not a people? You seem to be getting very muddled., Whether it is a noun or a verb is not the issue here, the issue is whether it was actually applied to a specific group of people. Evidence would suggest that it was not. We had 'Pirates' but they could have been from anywhere. In fact Vikings and Pirates are very similar, in that they attacked from the sea, raped, pillaged, took slaves and went!
No one has every suggested that Pirate was a race? So why is Viking?
@@hogwashmcturnip8930 I disagree that the issue is "whether it was actually applied to a specific group of people," and thank you terribly much for foisting the muddiness upon me, while it appears that you, dear sir, are the one getting very muddled. "Viking" is a noun, and if you'd read above, it did apply to a very specific group: "a group of people related to Vik (perhaps Erik, but this reference is, alas, lost). It ALSO applies to a raid by those related to Vik, and even a ship owned/used by a group of people related to Vik. "Pirates," take anyone as you said, so your analogy is poor, indeed. Did you read above? Wuffing means those related to Wuffa and Viking means those related to Vik. C'mon now. Read.
Uchtred "the Bold", Earl of Northumbria is my 31st great grandfather... Thank you for the informative video!
There have been a few videos based on this guys. Your video had been the best. Destiny is all!
Thank you so much! Destiny is all!
Thanks for the Awesome History Lesson
I normally never watched these kinds of genre, but I tried the Vikings show and liked that so I tried the last kingdom and fell in love. Now I’m a big fan of these genres :D
Edit: ok guys, recommend me a show like Vikings/last kingdom. Thanks ;)
Rome from hbo. It's considered the first mega TV show that inspired GoT or Spartacus style epics
Vikings Valhala [series - Amazing!]
Set more than 100 years after the events of Vikings, the Netflix series has followed the increased tensions between the Vikings and the native English, as well as the warring factions of the traditional pagan Vikings and those with Christian beliefs. Focusing on the adventures of famous Vikings Leif Eriksson, Freydis Eriksdottir and Harald Sigurdsson, the first season began with the St Brice's Day Massacre in 1002, and the show has the potential to continue on until 1066, considered the end of the Viking age by many historians.
@@jennydany watched it ;) liked the first season. Second season was meh .
@@Dilly_Dil1y I see. Personally, I most liked the Vikings Valhalla 2nd season, because of the dramatically escalated action, plus its historical knowledge. Also, the battle scenes were grate. Now waiting for the Season 3...
Nossa a melhor série que ja assistir, ja estou com saudades do Untrad
Nine minutes later and the timelines and plots of Vikings, Vikings: Valhalla and The Last Kingdom have been trashed. Well done!
They're all fiction. As is A Song of Ice and Fire, which The Game of Thrones is based on. That book series is inspired by my Plantagenet, Merovingian and Capetian ancestors. This includes the Red Wedding (I have two) and the Wall, inspired by Hadrian's Wall.
I've watched a few of your videos so far, and have thoroughly enjoyed your work!
Great history has always History profiles.
Thank you for watching !!!
Thank you for this video!!!!!
Hello Kathy 👋👋, how are you doing today???
Hello Kathy 👋👋, how are you doing today???
I loved this show. I wish they could have more 😡
The last kingdom is my favorite show. So good.
I had previously read that there were two or three Uhtreds (the first, second, etc.), and indeed, the great warrior did come later, as pointed out here. I assume that Uhtred (in 'The Last Kingdom') represents them all, as well as any great general/warrior/strategist who would have been a vital part of any of the various kings' armies, and of whom would have been greatly depended upon, though not necessarily documented in history. Anyway, 'The Last Kingdom' is a fantastic series which just gets better and better with each season!
Thanks for this video I enjoyed it. I believe LAST KINGDOM the series and the books sparked my interest in history and was brilliantly done.
Thank you. Uhtred is also one of my ancestors. I've been learning a lot of world history through my ancestors. They were a pretty interesting bunch of people. Lolololol
We’re all descended from Genghis Khan…
Uthred was a descendant of both the ealdermen of Bamburgh and a powerful thegn of Aethelstan from Mercia of the same name (Uthred being probably his grandson). Uthred is a Mercian name. In Alfred's time, the ealdermen of Bamburgh were crafty rulers who managed to deal with the Scots, the Welsh, and most importantly the Vikings keeping them at bay. They had a limited relationship with Alfred swearing an oath to him of friendship providing relics of Saint Cuthbert. I suspect that Alfred gave them in return silver and relics from southern saints. In 894, Aethelnoth led either an embassy or an army to York and may have met Osberth and Eardwulf of Bamburgh while in Northumbria. Cornwell created a composite character combining elements from the life of his ancestor and those of Aethelnoth, the Ealdorman of Somerset and a later abbot during Edward, Aethelstan, Edmund, and Eared's reigns, who lived past Edmund's time, living into his 90s. Aethelnoth's granddaughter maried Aethelweard the Chronicler after meeting the elderly survivor of Alfred's wars at the estate of Edington (Wiltshire) in 953 during one of King Eared's Witans and hearing Aethelnoth's stories. The meeting had a profound impact on Aethelweard, who arranged in his old age for one of his grandson to be named, Aethelnoth. Aethelnoth's deeds were important and his long life kept the memories of Alfred's wars alive for numerous generations of West Saxons and Mercians in the tenth centuries.
Bernard Cornwell has wrote some excellent books.
Great narration Ollie. Thank you so much. 🍎💃👌
He has written books that made him a lot of Money! As long as you appreciate it is utter BS that is OK. It's a bit like Phillipa Gregory and Hilary Mantel. Make it up as you go along, and because your readers generally have No Clue about the period they will assume it is All True!
So darn interesting I just love this history love the show “ The Last Kingdom “ it’s brilliant.
Trying to learn actual Viking history after watching tLK Vikings and Vikings: Valhalla is really hard I’ve found
That's really cool that the author of last kingdom was uthred lineage.
Wow! Imagine knowing your ancestry that far back in the past! Love the books and the TV show!
Please believe when I say, any one who claims a particular ancestor, is unless they have, Charters to land and DNA evidence are just guessing at their ancestry.
Just because you may have a name that is close to or come from a certain area guarantees nothing.
The recording of Birth, Deaths and Marriages , unless on personal papers is very hit and miss until the middle of the 17th Century, unless you have Irish Ancestry.
I see so many of your cousins here commenting. meet up guys. maybe in those Saxon/Viking attires. wd be good to know your cousins. and would be fun !!!
@@johnfisher697 I have seen people claiming to be the X grandchild of people who died childless. Even mythical characters! King Arthur? Total Fantasists, but it seems the Americans in particular have a need to claim 'Something'
I find it very odd, because I was always led to believe the first emigrants were the poor, the dispossessed , criminals and religious nutters! Now we find out they were All Royalty! Fancy that!
Let's face it no one had heard of Uhtred before the show! And it is horribly inaccurate, but now he is suddenly everybody 's Grandad! Hilarious!
@@hogwashmcturnip8930Good Morning Sir, yes it's amazing what ancestors people claim to have, also quite amazing are people putting "Destiny is all" not quite sure why but there you go.
I don't know if its in this video but someone claimed him as an ancestor and I gave him lots of reasons as to why that is a very hard claim to prove but of course he assured me he could, In the end I gave up trying,
I would hazard a guess and say the claimant's are American, and therein lies the problem for the most part.🤣
Cheers
@@johnfisher697 Greetings to you too! It is quite astonishing what people will allow themselves to believe. Then these same people Vote! Nuff said,
I appreciate getting the true history and only wish the tv show told it this way too.
They never do. I have to sit through at least 2 episodes of the Last Snoredom at my friends house every Wednesday. For some reason they think I am interested. Sorry but I like my history accurate? The Magic sword is fun! He loses it or has it taken from him so many times, yet it is back for the next battle! And Cornwell has always been a BS*tter. It's what he makes his living from. It is OK as Fantasy, but No Way is it History. For a start Uhtred lived 100 years After Alfred! It's a fun show, as long as you accept that it is Bollocks!
I've been afraid to start season 4. I discovered the show when the first 3 seasons were out and it ruined my productivity and sleep schedule in the best way lol. I was so obsessed and couldn't stop watching. Now I'm waiting for the free time to start season 4 that I can become a zombie and not miss work or something lol.
The show is never going away. You have your whole life to watch it. I watched 1 episode a week.
