Saxon born, Dane raised — destiny is all · Uhtred's Household

Uhtred of Bebbanburg (Saxon born, Dane raised — destiny is all) is a character in The Last Kingdom, part of Uhtred's Household. Uhtred, son of Uhtred, was born a Saxon lord of Bebbanburg, orphaned by Danes and raised by them into something England has no word for: a warrior who loves the people he's paid to fight and despises half the people he saves. His usurping uncle holds his fortress; his oath keeps landing him in service to a pious king he never stops arguing with. The series is one long collision between Uhtred's two souls — and the fortress on the northern sea he will spend five seasons winning back. Destiny is all.
