Trivia
The family name of the author's birth father was Oughtred and he is descended from the Saxons who took the name Uhtred. They had owned Bebbanburg (now Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland) and held it through the Danish invasion and occupation of northern Britain

Goofs
It is incorrectly said that Alfred's crown would not have borne the fleur-de-lis. Alfred The Great, on whom the character is heavily based, is depicted a plethora of times through history as wearing a crown bearing the fleur-de-lis.

Quotes
Uhtred: Destiny is all.

Love it - BUT...

I came upon this late - in 2025 - but I'm already on Season 4 and I'm hooked. Can't seem to stop at one episode and have to force myself to turn it off and go to sleep.

BUT... what's up with Uhtred's "accent?" With each subsequent episode it becomes more and more bizarre. Right now, (S01E01) Alexander Draymon has decided to enunciate each syllable in each word all the way to infinity and to add a "T" to the end of every last syllable. And no director has told him to knock it off!

So, that being said, the series is great. Kind of hard to keep up with the names, but the internet comes in handy.

Overall, well worth a watch.
