On September 1, 2021, a first look at Aelfwynn was shared on the official accounts, including Instagram. She was a girl the last we saw her, and she is much older now. She is the daughter of Aethelflaed (Millie Brady) and is proclaimed the child of Lord Aethelred of Mercia (Toby Regbo), Aethelflaed’s husband. But Aethelflaed did have a relationship with the Viking Erik (Christian Hillborg), and it’s unclear exactly who the father is to many.
In the image fans received, the name of the series can be seen in the upper right corner. Aelfwynn herself can be seen, no longer a young child. It’s unclear exactly how old she is though. She has her hair in a braid back out of her face, and she has on regal-looking garments. She also has earrings and a necklace on as well. She appears to be in a building of some kind.
A quote can be seen under the image from Aelfwynn. “’I am a woman of royal blood.’ – Aelfwynn,” it reads.
The post is captioned, “Strength comes from within… #thelastkingdom #tlk5.”
