For years, The Last Kingdom has been one of Netflix's leading period dramas. The series is based on Bernard Cornwell's The Saxon Stories, a series of historical fiction novels published between 2004 and 2020. BBC aired its first two seasons and in 2018, it was acquired by the streaming giant, and seasons 3-5 premiered on the platform. The focal character of the series is Uhtred of Bebbanburg, played by Alexander Dreymon.

Set in the ninth and tenth centuries, alliance and reputation are everything. Marriage was often used to achieve these things. In forging these bonds, people were often forced to think about their actions, especially if their ally was in a significant position of power or posed a worthy threat. As The Last Kingdom's main character, Uhtred is the subject of a great deal of chaos and political bargaining. He becomes a pawn in the political game and the subject of many people's admiration, love, and envy.

As the focal character, Uhtred takes part in an endless number of love affairs. Throughout The Last Kingdom, Uhtred shares romantic entanglements with both Saxons and Danes, reflecting his own duality. Uhtred was once a future Lord of Bebbanburg before he became a slave to Earl Ragnar, and eventually a son to him and his family. Brida (Emily Cox), Mildrith (Amy Wren), Iseult (Charlie Murphy), Gisela (Peri Baumeister), Aethelflaed (Millie Brady), and many others become romantically tangled with Uhtred, but the best love story of the series doesn't involve him. Aethelflaed has a love story with another Last Kingdom character that trumps the other love stories the series has to offer.
