The Last Kingdom's kings can be ranked by skill.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Last Kingdom's eight Anglo-Saxon kings vary in their ability to rule effectively within the show's world. The Last Kingdom portrays a long list of real-life historical figures, typically staying as true as possible to what is known about their real lives. This includes the kings portrayed in the series. However, there are still a fair number of creative liberties taken in order to layer the characters.
7 King Ceolwulf Of Mercia King Ceolwulf of Mercia only appears briefly in The Last Kingdom, but his desperate situation when he does appear is evidence of his lackluster ability as a king. Ceolwulf comes to Wessex in The Last Kingdom season 2 to beg Alfred for swords to defend against Viking incursions. He insists he will not allow Mercia to become the poor cousin of Wessex, yet his request for aid shows that he cannot defend Mercia himself.
Constantin is more cautious after that, initially refusing his next chance to turn on Wessex when Anlaf begins gathering an army in Seven Kings Must Die. Unfortunately, Aethelstan's invasion of Alba causes him to join forces with Anlaf, leading to their disastrous defeat at the Battle of Brunanburh. Constantin loses his heir in the battle and is forced to crawl back to Alba with the remainder of his men.
Hywel also blunders later in this season, however, leaving his land lightly defended to go on a pilgrimage. His castle is taken by Sigtryggr and his forces are soundly defeated when he tries to retake the fortress. Sigtryggr eventually abandons the fortress and Hywel is able to reclaim is seat, but his arrogance in thinking no one would attack his land speaks to his lack of foresight as a ruler.
