Uhtred in ‘The Last Kingdom’
Dreymon’s character, Uhtred, is the main character in the series. He’s a Saxon child when he’s taken by a Dane named Earl Ragnar (Peter Gantzler). Originally taken as a slave, he’s adopted by Ragnar. Uhtred becomes a full-fledged Viking, adopting their customs and beliefs. But he watches most of his family die in a fire. His enemies, Kjartan (Alexandre Willaume), his son, Sven (Ole Christoffer Ertvaag), and Uhtred’s uncle, Aelfric (Joseph Millson), are behind the tragedy, and Uhtred begins his journey to seek revenge and try and gain his lands back. He’s set on reclaiming Bebbanburg, something that has yet to happen.
Uhtred allies himself with King Alfred of Wessex (David Dawson), and they have a pretty complicated relationship over the years that’s memorable to witness. Even after Alfred’s death, Uhtred is still caught up assisting Alfred’s children. He even becomes lovers with Alfred’s daughter, Aethelflaed (Millie Brady) at one point. At the end of season 4, he is tasked with making King Edward’s (Timothy Innes) son, Aethelstan, a warrior, and he goes to live with Uhtred.
Fans can surely appreciate Dreymon’s latest post with the horse, Pedro.
