The Last Kingdom, Netflix’s historical drama has left fans puzzled by a costume error. The final season of the series aired in early 2022 and since then fans have been discovering key plot holes as they re-watch the popular series.
The Last Kingdom follows Uhtred of Bebbanburg (played by Alexander Dreymon) as he fights to regain control of his home and enters the service of a Christian king and later the son of the king.
Season five was the final instalment of the historical drama and over the past months, fans have still been talking about it.
The Last Kingdom ended in a truce between King Constantin (Rod Hallett) and Uhtred on the condition Northumbria remained independent.
Although season five was the end of the series, Netflix are producing a follow-up movie titled Seven Kings Must Die.

Fans have recently spotted a huge costume plot hole in the latest season.
On IMDb, one fan wrote: “Lots of the women are seen wearing knitted shawls, often using a cable stitch.
“Knitting did not reach the British isles until the High Middle Ages, probably from the Middle East via Spain.”
The Last Kingdom is set around the last 800s, with the High Middle Ages said to be around 1000 to 1300.
A University of Winchester professor, Ryan Lavelle, revealed how accurate Netflix’s The Last Kingdom actually is.
Lavelle says the show could have given the public the wrong idea about historical characters.
The professor explained although Uhtred of Bebbanburg is fictional, there was a real man of that name.
“Northumbrians in this period had to have some kind of Danish connection in order to survive, so it’s likely he did,” he told Den of Geek.
