The Danes task Aethelwold with the mission of killing King Alfred. Uhtred travels back to Mildrith's estate, to find the tragedy that their son has died, Iseult believes she was the cause of the death, saving the King's sons life in favour of Uhtred's. Mildrith lives, as does Odda the elder. Alfred sends out word to muster an Army, to fight the Danes, Alfred unites the armies of England, in order to defeat their enemies.
This was one of those shows I simply didn't want to end, it has been exciting, educational, gripping, sometimes tough viewing, but captivating from start to finish. The scene involving Odda and his son was an incredibly powerful moment, as was Alfred's speech to the Armies of England, hugely powerful moments.
I cannot decide whether it's Alex Dreymon or David Dawson that stole the show, both were absolutely outstanding once again.
Loved this final part, possibly the best entry in the series. I was so glad to learn that a second series of ten episodes had been commissioned, sad we lost Banished, but great that we've retained The Last Kingdom, long may it continue. 10/10
Captivating.
