What type of person does Uhtred of Bebbanburg and Uhtred have in common?
Uhtred of Bebbanburg Uhtred of Bebbanburg is the protagonist and main character of the best selling "Saxon Stories" novel series by Bernard Cornwell and the BBC television adaptation, "The Last Kingdom". Uhtred is in part based upon the historical Uhtred the Bold from the 11th century. However, the timeline of the fictional Uhtred fits better with Uhtred, an ealdorman of Derbyshire who flourished in the 10th century, believed to have come from Northumbria. Over the nine current books, Uhtred, a Saxon pagan, has become increasingly complex in his loyalty and general attitude.
Frederick William III of Prussia Frederick William III (German: "Friedrich Wilhelm III" ) (3 August 1770 – 7 June 1840) was king of Prussia from 1797 to 1840. He ruled Prussia during the difficult times of the Napoleonic Wars and the end of the Holy Roman Empire. Steering a careful course between France and her enemies, after a major military defeat in 1806, he eventually and reluctantly joined the coalition against Napoleon in the "Befreiungskriege". Following Napoleon's defeat he was King of Prussia during the Congress of Vienna which assembled to settle the political questions arising from the new, post-Napoleonic order in Europe. He was determined to unify the Protestant churches, to homogenize their liturgy, their organization and even their architecture. The long-term goal was to have fully centralized royal control of all the Protestant churches in the Prussian Union of churches.
