Series two returns to find Uhtred, the fearless and instinctive warrior, beginning his voyage north to reclaim his fate - to avenge Earl Ragnar's death and recapture his ancestral lands of Bebbanburg.

Alfred's conviction to unite the kingdoms of England is stronger than ever, and he sets his sights on the wild lands of the north, which have fallen into the control of savage Northmen.

Alfred champions a new king - a Christian Dane - to exert his influence beyond Wessex. This king has been enslaved and Uhtred becomes embroiled in a rescue mission which brings him face to face with an enemy of old. Show less
