Father Pyrlig pleads with him to not go through with this, but he continues forward. Mildrith retorts that she has purpose and her child is with God. Aldhelm still questions why Uhtred crossed into Daneland. [6] Odda was forced to choose between Alfred and Guthrum in early 878 when an army of Vikings, led by Ubba, supposed son of the legendary Ragnar Lodbrok, landed on the north Devon or Somerset coast, possibly near modern-day Lynmouth. If he’s to fall in battle, his son cannot be king.
Little is known of Odda's early life, but he became ealdorman of Devon sometime before 878, ultimately succeeding Karl, or Ceorle, the ealdorman in 851. He was buried at Pershore Abbey. He’s decided to leave by sea.
("Episode 1.3"), Odda, Alfred, and Uhtred discuss the possibility of Uhtred joining the council and becoming an Ealdormen. What is it called?

Eohric was a Danish Viking king of East Anglia. The Danes have well over 1,000 men in London. Alfred the Great was King of Wessex from 871 to c. 886 and King of the Anglo-Saxons from c. 886 to 899.

Odda instructs Leofric to take Æthelwold to a monastery for him to be educated. They drowned at sea. Alfred is in agreement with Uhtred and decides they will indeed march. Under the terms of his surrender Guthrum was obliged to be baptised and leave Wessex. Unbeknownst to them, Æthelwold eavesdrops from the hall. He’s tired of resting and demands to know where his wife and son are at. [1] [2] Throughout the 870s Odda's liege, Alfred the Great, King of Wessex, was engaged in constant war with the Vikings. Uhtred wants to outflank the Danes and burn their ships. ("Episode 1.3"), Æthelwold goes to see his father, but Alfred informs him that the king is dead. He then asks about Æthelwold, however, Uhtred claims to have no knowledge of him crossing over into Daneland. He makes Uhtred that he won’t desert Alfred.

He then orders Odda to raise the Somerset fyrd.

There is a third way. The Battle of Buttington was fought in 893 between a Viking army and an alliance of Anglo-Saxons and Welsh. Clapa then informs Uhtred and Finan that a ship of traders approaches. Winchester, Wessex; Æthelred and the council discuss King Edmund of East Anglia’s plea to Wessex for an army.
