“Seven kings must die, and the woman you love”
Fiery arrows fly through the sky, spikes are scattered on the ground ready to pierce the flimsy shoes of Saxon warriors in particularly nasty ways, and swords are drawn as Anlaf’s men and Aethelstan’s followers meet on the battlefield.
Father Pyrlig, the priest, former warrior and Uthred’s friend, appears mortally wounded, and many men fall in the most grisly ways you can imagine. As Uhtred springs a surprise on his enemies, bringing in more forces on horseback, some of the Scottish men run away, and Ingilmundr and Aethelstan finally come to blows, before men come to Aethelstan’s aid and capture Ingilmundr and drag him away. .
When they arrive, Uhtred is well enough to pledge his own Northumbria to Aethelstan, thus forming England. He has one condition: that Aethelstan must not marry or produce any heirs, therefore his half-brother Edmund will inherit the throne when he dies. Looking dreadfully pale and weak, Uhtred hears cheers and merriment in the distance, and walks to the end of the hall and opens the door. While everyone behind him can only see empty space, Uhtred sees a fire-lit room filled with the many people from his past who have died, all laughing and drinking and welcoming him on to the next life.Historians now view him as the first and greatest Medieval king of England. He ruled until his death in AD 939 and was indeed succeeded by his brother Edmund.
