Last Kingdom, the ♦ Saxon Stories ♦ LastKi ♦ Bernard

Cornwell

This is the story of the making of England in the 9th and 10th centuries, the years in which

King Alfred the Great, his son and grandson defeated the Danish Vikings who had

invaded and occupied three of England’s four kingdoms.



The story is seen through the eyes of Uhtred, a dispossessed nobleman, who is captured

as a child by the Danes and then raised by them so that, by the time the Northmen begin

their assault on Wessex (Alfred’s kingdom and the last territory in English hands) Uhtred

almost thinks of himself as a Dane. He certainly has no love for Alfred, whom he considers

a pious weakling and no match for Viking savagery, yet when Alfred unexpectedly

defeats the Danes and the Danes themselves turn on Uhtred, he is finally forced to choose

sides. By now he is a young man, in love, trained to fight and ready to take his place in

the dreaded shield wall. Above all, though, he wishes to recover his father’s land, the

enchanting fort of Bebbanburg by the wild northern sea.
