Plot
“The Last Kingdom” season 3 will be about King Alfred’s dream of uniting all the kingdoms in England and putting an end to the ruthless attacks by the Danish people.
The king will ask Uhtred for help since he knows that he is the only one he can rely on to stop the Danish. However, the warrior is conflicted when the king approaches him because their relationship is not as good as before. While contemplating if he will agree to help King Alfred or not, he asks himself why he should do it. Perhaps he realizes he could have his own ulterior motives.
Moreover, as per Express, Uhtred will discover that his loyalty to King Alfred is not as strong anymore. In fact, his allegiance is already at its breaking point in “The Last Kingdom” season 3, so whatever his decision will be could change the fate of the king and the kingdoms.
