<P> Uhtred lives a happy life in the village of Leeds with his new family for years . However, Ragnar had become enemies with a man named Kjartan due to an incident between Uhtred and Kjartan's son Sven when he was a boy . Uhtred had attacked Sven to protect Thyra when Sven tried to assault her sexually . When Thyra told Ragnar what happened afterwards, Ragnar banished Kjartan and blinded Sven in one eye as punishment . However, as a result of this punishment Kjartan came back years later and burned the village down as revenge . Kjartan led a warband to the village while Ragnar and his family were sleeping and lit their hall on fire, killing everyone but Thyra . Meanwhile, Uhtred and his childhood friend Brida were guarding the blacksmith's fire - therefore avoiding death . Kjartan initially believed Uhtred to have also died in the fire . He later ended up being found out when he went to find his uncle, the Ealdorman of Bebbanburg, as he suspected his involvement in the attack on the village . After doing this, a false rumor was spread that Uhtred started an uprising and killed his adoptive father, and due to his Saxon heritage and bloodline it was believed by all of the Danish lords . </P> <P> After this, Uhtred tried to convince the king of the Danes that the rumors were not true, but did not succeed . Realizing that he has been effectively cast out by the Danes, Uhtred left Northumbria with his mate to ally with the Christian Saxons in Wessex . Uhtred fled to Wessex because Wessex was the only kingdom left that he knew of that was not Danish controlled . Additionally, his old tutor, a priest at Bebbanburg, told him to go there years earlier if he ever needed help or a place to go . </P> <P> Upon arriving in Wessex, Uhtred found his old tutor, who vouched for him when wishing to see the king of Wessex, Alfred the Great . Uhtred was knowledgeable of Danish customs and tactics, and as a result he proved to be an effective advisor to the king . However, there was constant tension between him and the king due to his disobedience, nonconformity with the social norms of Wessex, his non-adherence to Christianity, and the fact that he was reluctant to swear his allegiance to Alfred, as his ultimate goal was to reclaim the throne of Northumbria, which was stolen by his uncle . Nevertheless, his advice resulted in a victory for Wessex, and in return Alfred offered Uhtred land on the condition he marry a Christian woman from Wessex, and give his allegiance to the king for a period of 1 year as an Ealdorman . </P> <P> Despite Uhtred's childhood, he began to fight and revel in Danish defeats . However, Uhtred had a particular hatred towards Alfred whom he believed too pious, weak and trusting to fight off the Danish invasion, although he maintained a healthy respect for Alfred's intelligence . Alfred managed to calm any wanton violence between the two and Uhtred served him faithfully, though grudgingly, and at times with a mind to return to the Danes . Yet, as Uhtred's usefulness improved, so did Alfred's attention, and as Uhtred aged, he began to understand Alfred's wisdom although dislike was always present . </P>
