The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die has officially confirmed the fact that Aethelstan is gay, something The Saxon Stories only ever hinted at.

The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die has confirmed what is only hinted at in Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Stories novel series: Aethelstan is gay. The movie concluded The Last Kingdom's story in thrilling fashion, though Seven Kings Must Die's ending is somewhat obscure. The fate of Uhtred of Bebbanburg is particularly ambiguous, but overall Seven Kings Must Die does well to bring the series to a fitting end.

Once again though, all of this is speculation in the books, which never explicitly confirm Aethelstan's sexuality. Author, Bernard Cornwell, has, however, confirmed that Aethelstan is meant to be gay in the novels. The fact that it is never explicitly confirmed within the text is likely Cornwell's attempt to remain realistic with his interpretation of history.
