Seven Kings Must Die in The Last Kingdom

Seven Kings Must Die in The Last Kingdom (2023)

• After Netflix's The Last Kingdom series came to an end, Seven Kings Must Die's conclusion raised the following important query for fans: Uhtred

What happened to him? Is he deceased?

The successful medieval action series was followed by a movie that continued Uhtred's saga after he was recognized as the ruler of North umbria at the end of the TV series.

He didn't seem to be in the best of shape at the end of the movie, so of course it would never be easy sailing.

The Last Kingdom: 

• Seven Kings Must Die spoilers will be discussed in order to discuss the lead actor Alexander Dreymon's opinions on what the final scene meant for Uhtred.

• Aethelstan is unaware that Ingilmundr is secretly working for Anlaf, a Norse leader who has gathered chieftains and kings from Orkney, Shetland, 

• And Scotland with the intention of defeating Aethelstan on the battlefield, while Ingilmundr is merely pretending to be a good Christian servant to his king.

• Before we accomplish that, there is some housekeeping to be done. Osbert and Edmund are discovered unharmed

• Uhtred recovers his lost sword and reconciles with Aethelstan, and Finan's wife and the inhabitants of bebbanburg are discovered dead.

• All of this builds to the battle of Brunanburh in AD 937, where Uhtred and his companions join forces with Aethelstan and his soldiers to combat Anlaf and his allies. 

Does Uhtred count as one of the seven kings who perish on the battlefield?

At the conclusion of Seven Kings Must Die, is Uhtred dead?

• Swords are pulled as Anlaf's soldiers and Aethelstan's supporters clash on the battlefield as fiery arrows fly through the sky, 

Spikes are dispersed on the ground prepared to penetrate the fragile shoes of Saxon warriors in particularly horrible ways, and spikes are strewn on the ground.

• The priest and friend of Uthred, Father Pyrlig, a veteran combatant, appears to be mortally wounded, and many more men perish in the most gruesome manner imaginable.

As Uhtred drops to his knees from a severe injury, he looks up to discover Pyrlig standing at the edge of the field.
