‘The Last Kingdom’: Emily Cox Shares a ‘Throwback’ Photo From Season 2, Fans React: ‘Brida Is Perfect’
In the hit series The Last Kingdom, there are many memorable characters throughout the seasons. One of those has remained constant, and that is Brida (Emily Cox). The actor who plays her recently shared a “throwback” photo from season 2 that fans will surely appreciate.
Brida in ‘The Last Kingdom’
Brida was just a Saxon child when she was taken in and raised by the Danes. She grows up and is quite close with the main character, Uhtred (Alexander Dreymon). She is there by his side when they witness his home being burned and most of his family killed. At first, she helps Uhtred, becoming his lover, but eventually she chooses to go off with Uhtred’s adopted brother, Young Ragnar (Tobias Santelmann). They form a connection and fall in love, but Ragnar is killed in a shocking turn of events by Aethelwold (Harry McEntire), manipulated by Cnut (Magnus Bruun).
Brida becomes lovers with Cnut, that is until she learns the truth of his involvement in the death of Ragnar, and she kills him. But then the Welsh find her in battle, and she holds a grudge against Uhtred for not killing her, as she thought she would go to Valhalla.
She is then taken as a slave, but she is freed by Sigtryggr (Eysteinn Sigurðarson). At the end of season 4, she goes into labor with Cnut’s child after fighting with Uhtred, who lets her leave.
