Last Kingdom Season 5 True Story: Every Major Change To Real History
The Last Kingdom season 5 diverges from real history but maintains key historical events and figures of the Viking Age. Uhtred of Bebbanburg draws inspiration from Uhtred the Bold and Ealdred I of Bamburgh, creating a unique character arc. The show accelerates the history of Jorvik and intertwines the destinies of England and Uhtred, taking creative liberties for storytelling.
The Last Kingdom season 5 takes place in 10th-century England, during the rule of Edward the Elder, but the show is not afraid to make changes from real history. Netflix's show is an adaptation of The Saxon Stories, a series of novels by Bernard Cornwell. The Last Kingdom was originally aired by British broadcaster BBC before Netflix acquired the show in 2018 and produced the final three seasons. Although season 5 is the show’s last, the story will conclude in the Netflix film Seven Kings Must Die.
Like Vikings before it, The Last Kingdom...
