The Last Kingdom [Season 1]

I can't believe I'm about to let you go, lose you. You've been half of my life. All of my madness! <...> Be happy...

But I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred, and destiny is all.

Why do I leave the villages unprotected and bring the men inside? Is that your question? A village can be rebuilt. A warrior can die only once.

Like every kingdom before it Wessex has fallen. He is Alfred, a man. King of nothing.
