Brutal Single Combat Against a Viking Warrior | The Last Kingdom

Video summary

Press to jump

0:01Ubba challenges the surrounding warriors to single combat in a torchlit camp.
0:39Uhtred steps forward and accepts the challenge.
1:34Uhtred asks whether the duel is to first blood or death; Ubba answers with a roar.
1:41The fighters exchange blows with shields and weapons; the duel's outcome comes at 03:13.

Uhtred has a question before the fighting starts: "First blood or to the death?" Ubba's roar is not much of a negotiation. The torchlit encounter supplies The Last Kingdom's most-watched new upload of the week, with roughly 379,000 views for "Brutal Single Combat Against a Viking Warrior | The Last Kingdom".

Alexander Dreymon's Uhtred steps forward to buy time for the Saxon forces in this first-season scene. Rune Temte plays Ubba, whose imposing presence gives the exchange its distinctly uneven odds. Viewers are discussing the duel's physical details, the axe Uhtred places in Ubba's hand and how the television version differs from the novels.

There is a rather different intervention in "Caught in the Act | The Last Kingdom". Hild recovers Uhtred's stolen sword, Serpent-Breath, then douses the hungover warrior with cold water. Grieving Iseult and drinking heavily, he needs persuading to set off north with Hild and Halig. That second-season clip is currently attracting views fastest, at about twice the duel's daily pace.

The other uploads turn to a marshland ambush, Aethelwold's conspiracy against Alfred and Iseult's attempt to save the king's son. Together, they make this a return to the series' early mixture of tactics, divided loyalties and competing beliefs.

The channel added subscribers modestly and collected around 1.3 million views across the week. Among nearby film-and-TV channels, Jaku had the largest weekly viewing gain, with The Last Kingdom next. Its daily viewing is also above its usual level: these early-season scenes have given the official archive a busy week.

This is like all those athletes that celebrate before crossing the finish line and then someone comes from behind and wins. Except with more blood.

As someone that read the books WAY before the show started. They really really did the story true. Maybe my favorite book series. But I never imagined they could do a show so well/real to the books. Miss this show. This show was a work of art and love. Respect to everyone involved.

I liked how his face went instantly from calm to berserk when the fight started.

One of my favorite movie scenes. Team leaders like to say there is no "I" in Team. But every team is built of members like a chain is made of links and each link must do it's individual part for the team to be successful. This scene fully illustrates that point, Uhtred did his part, then the team backed him up. I love this scene.
