10 Last Kingdom book changes improved the show.
Netflix's The Last Kingdom makes some notable changes to its source material, including a number of critical alterations that helped improve the series. The Last Kingdom is based on Bernard Cornwell's iconic Saxon Stories novel series, which contains a whopping 13 volumes. The series' extreme length makes tweaks to the source material inevitable, especially when considering The Last Kingdom only spans five seasons plus a movie.
9 Uhtred's Relationship With Young Uhtred Fits The Last Kingdom Better Another important change from the books in The Last Kingdom is Uhtred's healthier relationship with his eldest son, Young Uhtred. In the books, Uhtred resents his son's commitment to Christianity, spitefully labeling him "Judas" and stripping away the name Uhtred in favor of his younger, more martial son.
7 Steapa's Last Kingdom Death Fits His Character Better In The Last Kingdom, Steappa, one of Uhtred's friends and an important warrior in Wessex, dies while saving Edward's life during the Battle of Tettenhall. In the books, Steappa survives this battle and ends up retiring peacefully in the countryside after growing tired of fighting. This is a much happier ending for his character, but the show's ending for Steappa actually fits him better.
4 Uhtred's Fate Fits The Last Kingdom's Story Better Uhtred's fate in Seven Kings Must Die, The Last Kingdom's sequel film, is somewhat ambiguous, but the overwhelming likelihood is that he died of the wounds he sustained in the Battle of Brunanburh. Uhtred is the narrator of The Saxon Stories, meaning it was impossible for him to die during the story, but The Last Kingdom has no such restrictions, allowing Uhtred to sacrifice himself for the sake of a unified England.
