When Edward II was put to flight at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, he is said to have invoked the Virgin Mary and vowed to found a monastery for the ...
Edward I was the last king to use it as a palace, and in 1275 it became a private dwelling when he granted it to an Italian lawyer, Francesco Accorsi, who had undertaken diplomatic missions for him. By the middle of the fourteenth century the Sheriffs had permission to remove stone and timber from the palace to repair the castle, and in 1318 ...

The first king to die, both in real life and in The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die, was Edward of Wessex. Edward was the son of Alfred the Great, and he is known for continuing Alfred's dream of a unified England. When Edward became king after the death of his father, Alfred, only Wessex and Western Mercia were under the control of the Anglo-Sa...
Constantine II was the King of Scotland, or Alba as his kingdom was known at the time, from 900-943. Constantine's reign was largely defined by his conflicts with Vikings and Saxons invading his land. Constantine made common cause with Anlaf, King of Dublin, and fought with him against Aethelstan at the Battle of Brunanburh. He was soundly defeated...
Owain was the real King of Strathclyde for an unknown number of years and may have died at the real Battle of Brunanburh. He is not a character in The Last Kingdom until Seven Kings Must Die. The Kingdom of Strathclyde was in modern day Scotland and often conflicted with the Kingdom of Alba, ruled at the time by Constantine II. Even so, the two put...
Shetland is a cluster of islands north of Scotland that was ruled by the King of Norway for several centuries and was under Norwegian control by the time the Battle of Brunanburh occurred in 937.

Still, whoever was the ruler on the islands was likely considered a king by some. Who that ruler was is likely lost...
The King of Mann in Seven Kings Must Die is another one that is difficult to reconcile with history. There was a Viking ruler of Mann and Northumbria known as Ragnall, but he died in 921, 16 years before the Battle of Brunanburh. The next recorded ruler of the Isle of Mann was Anlaf, who led the alliance against Aethelstan. It's possible that the K...
Uhtred is debatably the seventh king from Seven Kings Must Die's prophecy. While Uhtred's ultimate fate in Seven Kings Must Dieis left up in the air, the most likely case is that Uhtred died of his wounds, making him the final king to die in order to unite England. Uhtred is another character who was not technically a king. However, as Finan points...
