The Last Kingdom — Season 2
As England tears itself apart in a brutal clash between Saxon forces and Viking invaders, Uhtred finds himself driven by a burning need for vengeance. Haunted by the loss of his loved ones, he embarks on a perilous journey, determined to right past wrongs and fight for the return of his birthright – the ancestral lands stolen from him long ago.
Alfred had dispatched him north with a single purpose: to ransom King Guthred, held in captivity. For this task, Beocca sought out Uhtred, forging a new bond of loyalty in his relentless pursuit of vengeance.
Abbot Eadred’s schemes exploit Guthred’s vulnerabilities. Uhtred gathers the warriors of Mercia for a march on Eoforwic, only to encounter a bitter treachery.
Hild and Ragnar pursue Uhtred, who is devising a means to flee. Meanwhile, Alfred sets his sights on the kingdom of Mercia, and disorder ensues as Guthred’s alliance falls apart.
Sent to the lands of Northumbria, Uhtred navigates a precarious path, balancing his loyalty to Alfred with the demands of Ragnar’s brutal vendetta against Kjartan.
Following a period of tranquility, Uhtred experiences a profound summons, a whisper of destiny urging him forward. Erik makes a shrewd proposition, while Beocca finds himself wrestling with matters of affection.
Alfred's suspicion of Uhtred grew with each passing day. Consequently, he dispatched Æthelred to expel Erik and Sigefrid from London, though the young lord harbored ambitions beyond a simple task of removal.
Humiliation descends upon Æthelred following his misstep in London, which has left Alfred in a precarious position. With her allegiances wavering, Æthelflæd makes a desperate plea to Uhtred.
Odda challenged Alfred, seeking to manipulate the king into declaring war. Meanwhile, Uhtred plotted with Erik to free Æthelflæd, setting the stage for a decisive clash with Sigefrid.
