Uhtred in The Last Kingdom: A Man Torn Between Two Worlds
How Uhtred’s Split Identity Highlights the Way Humans Choose Kinship and Loyalty in a Complicated World
What happens when your heart belongs to two worlds that are sworn enemies? Uhtred of Bebbanburg knows this conflict all too well. Born a Saxon noble but raised within the fierce warrior culture of the Danes, Uhtred constantly finds himself torn between the faith, family, and heritage of his birth, and the gods, values, and people who shaped his identity. His story in The Last Kingdom (can be watched on Netflix) captures the tension of navigating two opposing feelings of belonging, showing that our sense of loyalty and belonging often extends far beyond bloodlines.
