Uhtred was originally called Osbert and was the younger of Ealdorman Uhtred's sons. In " The Last Kingdom", Uhtred was born into status as son of Uhtred, Ealdorman of Bebbanburg, and raised to have hatred towards the surrounding kingdoms of Mercia, East Anglia, Wessex, Scotland and the Danes. He had 9 children with her but none of them survived their 8th year. Lord Uhtred then remarried to the woman Odin. Osbert's mother also sadly died while giving birth to him. He remarried to a Mercian noblewoman, Lady Æthelgifu, that union produced a son Osbert (later known as Uhtred) in 857. Lord Uhtred and his first wife had Uhtred, but she sadly died shortly after giving birth to him. Over the course of the series, Uhtred, a Pagan, has become increasingly complex in his loyalty and general attitude. Gravely wounded in the final battle to unite England, it's unknown if Uhtred survived his wounds or not, but he is remembered by those who knew him as the greatest warrior of his age and a man who made a kingdom. Following Edward's death, Uhtred plays an instrumental role in finally uniting England under King Æthelstan.
Following the murder of his adopted par ents and grandfather, Uhtred desired to reclaim his birth right at Bebbanburg.Īfter retaking Bebbanburg, Uhtred becomes the Lord of Northumbria, although he doesn't swear allegiance to King Edward. His time with the Danes led to him adopting their ways. Following his capture by the Danes (Who would soon adopt him as their own), his ambitious uncle Aelfric usurped his throne and desired to have him killed. He was originally named Osbert, but after the death of his older brother, Osbert's name was changed to Uhtred and he became the heir of Bebbanburg. Uhtred of Bebbanburg or Uhtred Ragnarsson (originally named Osbert, sometimes referred to as Uhtred Uhtredson, also known as Uhtred of Cookham) is the protagonist in both The Saxon Stories novel series, and The Last Kingdom television series.
