As a child, Uhtred witnessed his father being killed and the Saxon army defeated by invading troops. Danish warlord Earl Ragnar captured Uhtred and raised him in a Danish camp alongside fellow captive Brida, a sharp-tongued girl. Years later, Uhtred is a valiant warrior who is dealt another tragic blow when his home is deliberately set on fire, killing his surrogate family, including Ragnar. Now exiled -- alone except for Brida by his side -- he vows to avenge Ragnar's death and reclaim his homeland. But, he must choose between his birth country and the people who raised him. If he is going to help birth a new nation and ultimately recapture his ancestral land he must walk dangerous path between both sides.

Jaime B. @JaimeB76 Jan 11 This series continues to deliver pure excellence! Oscar worthy acting and historical content with underlying personal conflicts and a leading male character who seemingly cannot attain true happiness. Uhtred continues to be toyed with by the fates and sometimes it seems even destiny isn’t sure how many times he can get knocked down and continue to fight!! See more laurent b @LaurentBotti Jan 6 After 4 seasons, I can state that this is an absolute gem! The recreation of the middle age, the depth of the characters, the quality of the battles and the scenery... A wonder from start to finish, incredibly well written and played. With a plus compare to GoT: an impeccable pace. There are no slow parts at any moment, and no superfluous character.
