  • "One day it is my hope that all kingdoms will become one. United by one God. The birth of an England, the idea of a single kingdom called England has to begin here. There is nowhere else"
    Remembered as Alfred The Great (reigned AD 871-899).
    A model monarch, both for scholarship and military. The best this island has seen and one of the most fascinating characters in history! David Dawson did a phenomenal job as Alfred and was very much a missed part of the shower after S3.

    Although the Last Kingdom has certainly taken artistic liberties, I will forever love David Dawson's portrayal of Alfred, because it was a huge part of what shaped my fascination with the man. Today I have visited Winchester for the first time to see the final resting place of his father and grandfather and to, perhaps, stand somewhere close to where he himself lays, undiscovered. It is safe to say that if it weren't for this show and the books, I would never have learned anything more of Alfred than that he was one of many past kings of a country that is half a continent away from mine.

    Favourite character hands down on Last Kingdom. David Dawson's acting was absolutely impeccable. Masterful. Moving. Powerful. He embodies Alfred perfectly and showed him to be one of the strongest characters on the show, and one of the strongest kings in fiction. I always loved Last Kingdom, but it just was not the same after Alfred's death. Loved his character so much.
    I love that one of the few times he loses control of his emotions are when Uhtred betrays him. Despite not liking his religion and finding him frustrating, he loves and trusts Uhtred and knowing he drove him away nearly breaks him.

      I agree totally. An amazing man! And to think he did so much for his people while battling Inflammatory bowel disease, probably Crohn’s. He did much to preserve the history and culture of the Anglo-Saxons more than anyone, even the Venerable Bede. I find him a very relatable man. A truly great man and King.

    This guy is a great actor. I am not an expert on quality acting. But he really has you believing hes Alfred. He makes you feel the frustration and admiration Uhtred has for him. Great performance. Such a nerdy looking guy comes off as such a bad a@#...there are very few acting performances that stick w me like his portrayal as alfred...he made me hate him but also like him

    Only Alfred was able to truly contain Uhtred. And Uhtred admits so in the books.
    Alfred made Uhtred fight first for glory, then for his brother, then Athelflaed, then Athelstan and lastly Bebbanburgh
    But all the time Uhtred really was fighting for Alfred and his dream of England.
    This begs the question what did Alfred see in Uhtred. He says so numerous times in the books and series - in Uhtred he sees the England that is to come. Perfect mixture of the bravery of Northmen and the piety of the Saxons. Too bad this was embodied by the Normans more
