The fifth and final season of The Last Kingdom is streaming on Netflix now and audiences want to know everything about the show's cast and characters. In the finale, audiences get to meet Uhtred of Bebbanburg's (played by Alexander Dreymon) three children, his son young Uhtred (Finn Elliot), his daughter Stiorra (Ruby Hartley), and his youngest son, Osbert (Olly Rhodes).
As Uhtred's heir to Bebbanburg, his firstborn has been a pretty big priority in Uhtred's life and the arrival of his youngest son, Osbert, at Bebbanburg has got fans talking. Uhtred's sons may have gotten a lot of attention in the final series but so to did his fearless daughter Stiorra and audiences want to know more.
Newsweek has everything you need to know.
Who is Stiorra's Mother?
Stiorra's mother is Gisela (Peri Baumeister), the second wife of Uhtred of Bebbanburg.
Gisela was the sister of Guthred of Northumbria and the daughter of Danish warrior Jarl Harthacnut.
Together, Gisela and Uhtred had three children: Uhtred, Stiorra and Osbert.
Sadly, Gisela died in Season 3 of The Last Kingdom, giving birth to her third child, Osbert.
In The Saxon Stories by Bernard Cornwell, the novel series The Last Kingdom is based on, Stiorra is described as tall and having her mother's face. She was raised by her father in Cookham but spent most of her early years at Lady Aethelflaed's (Millie Brady) Droitwich estate.
She falls in love with Sigtryggr (Eysteinn Sigurðarson) in Season 4 and later marries him. Together, they have children who die of the plague.
In the final season of The Last Kingdom, Stiorra helped her father fight against Constantin and the Scots, despite her loyalty to the Danes. Eventually, she committed her Danish forces to the Saxon cause with the hope the Danes and Saxons will be able to live in harmony with her father's victory.
Stiorra is played by up-and-coming actress Hartley.
Who Are Uhtred's Other Children?
Young Uhtred
Young Uhtred, also known as Oswald, is Uhtred and Gisela's oldest son.
In Season 4, he had bonded with Father Beocca (Ian Hart) who had sacrificed himself for Young Uhtred at the start of the season. Raised Christian after being taken hostage by King Alfred (David Dawson) young Uhtred eventually began to warm up to his father's Pagan ways when they were reunited and quickly developed a special bond.
Just like his sister Stiorra, Young Uhtred agreed to fight alongside his father for the future of Bebbanburg.
However, sadly, Uhtred was castrated by his father's rival Brida (Emily Cox), raising questions over his status as heir of Bebbanburg.
Young Uhtred is played by The Crown and Outcast star Elliot.
Osbert
After Gisela's death, Osbert was adopted by the Church. As a result, he has lived his life not knowing who his father or his siblings are.
However, that all looks set to change at the end of Season 5 when Hild (Eva Birthistle) brought Osbert to the gates of Bebbanburg.
Outside of the gates, Osbert asked: "Why are we going to the fortress?" Hild then explains: they are on their way to meet the new Lord of Bebbanburg.
She added: "I made a little inquiry and I think the new lord may be able to tell you something of your origins."
With Osbert finally meeting his father and finding out who he really is, there is a pretty big chance Osbert could play a big role in the upcoming The Last Kingdom film, Seven Kings Must Die.
If the film sticks close to Cornwell's source material, Osbert will go on to become a great warrior and his father's heir.
Up-and-coming actor Rhodes stars as young Osbert in The Last Kingdom.
The Last Kingdom Seasons 1 to 5 are streaming on Netflix now and Seven Kings Must Die is currently in production.
