"One day it is my hope that all kingdoms will become one. United by one God. The birth of an England, the idea of a single kingdom called England has to begin here. There is nowhere else"
Remembered as Alfred The Great (reigned AD 871-899).
A model monarch, both for scholarship and military. The best this island has seen and one of the most fascinating characters in history! David Dawson did a phenomenal job as Alfred and was very much a missed part of the shower after S3.

Favourite character hands down on Last Kingdom. David Dawson's acting was absolutely impeccable. Masterful. Moving. Powerful. He embodies Alfred perfectly and showed him to be one of the strongest characters on the show, and one of the strongest kings in fiction. I always loved Last Kingdom, but it just was not the same after Alfred's death. Loved his character so much. I love that one of the few times he loses control of his emotions are when Uhtred betrays him. Despite not liking his religion and finding him frustrating, he loves and trusts Uhtred and knowing he drove him away nearly breaks him.

I think maybe you didn't mean to call Alfred 'fiction'. He was a real person

Thank you. David Dawson gave such an amazing performance as Alfred, one of my favourites from the show. This really captured the essence of that performance and the complex, flawed but great man he so brilliantly portrayed.

This guy is a great actor. I am not an expert on quality acting. But he really has you believing hes Alfred. He makes you feel the frustration and admiration Uhtred has for him. Great performance. Such a nerdy looking guy comes off as such a bad a@#...there are very few acting performances that stick w me like his portrayal as alfred...he made me hate him but also like him

I agree totally. An amazing man! And to think he did so much for his people while battling Inflammatory bowel disease, probably Crohn’s. He did much to preserve the history and culture of the Anglo-Saxons more than anyone, even the Venerable Bede. I find him a very relatable man. A truly great man and King.

Although the Last Kingdom has certainly taken artistic liberties, I will forever love David Dawson's portrayal of Alfred, because it was a huge part of what shaped my fascination with the man. Today I have visited Winchester for the first time to see the final resting place of his father and grandfather and to, perhaps, stand somewhere close to where he himself lays, undiscovered. It is safe to say that if it weren't for this show and the books, I would never have learned anything more of Alfred than that he was one of many past kings of a country that is half a continent away from mine.

The TV show felt much much emptier without this character, he truly did make the show a massive part of wht was interesting; despite not being I suppose the 'main character' - But truly did add a MASSIVE amount to this show.

@vikingodin1986 10 ай бұрын

The series lagged a bit after Alfred died that dynamic was strong like in the books..but that takes nothing from this stunning edit

@CelestialShaman44 9 ай бұрын

I just realized something. Some people can dress up and pretend to rule. But a true King knows deeply those flaws cannot bring the leadership, the strength to rule a nation and its people.

Hi Bernice, I love the last kingdom and well worth a watch and something to get into! Outlander S7 first 8 episodes came and flew by! But I’ve enjoyed seeing the Jamie and William scenes. It’ll be amazing when William finds out! I’m doing okay thank you ☺️ Tried to make the most of summer so far with some lovely trips to places like Whitby Abbey 🥰 How are you doing? I hope you’re keeping well and having a good summer despite the typical British weather haha

@@RMFilmStudios Hi Robbie, I’m doing ok. thank you, The Last Kingdom will be a great watch during droughtlander, i really enjoyed the first half of S7. I’m absolutely loving MinK N.Z. Sam & Graham are doing so well with the Māori Culture, they always lift my spirits with their high jinks and sense of adventure, Sam is unstoppable but has to win most of the time, Graham doesn’t do so bad at keeping up with him, I was quite impressed with him:). Nice to hear you are getting out and about despite the British weather indeed 🥴 will you be making any videos of the battle scenes in Outlander! they were pretty impressive I thought 🤔

Much of it is true. Well, the main historical events anyway, and he did far more than covered in the series. There is a reason he is one of the few monarchs to be called The Great.

Only Alfred was able to truly contain Uhtred. And Uhtred admits so in the books. Alfred made Uhtred fight first for glory, then for his brother, then Athelflaed, then Athelstan and lastly Bebbanburgh But all the time Uhtred really was fighting for Alfred and his dream of England. This begs the question what did Alfred see in Uhtred. He says so numerous times in the books and series - in Uhtred he sees the England that is to come. Perfect mixture of the bravery of Northmen and the piety of the Saxons. Too bad this was embodied by the Normans more
