Edward in ‘The Last Kingdom’
King Edward is now the King of Wessex, and he is the son of the late King Alfred (David Dawson) and his wife, Lady Aelswith (Eliza Butterworth). Edward tries to find his place as King after his father, but it’s been quite difficult. It’s far from smooth sailing, and it has been challenging for him. We’ll have to see what season 5 holds for this king who’s had to make deals with the Danes to promote peace.
