So while we haven’t seen the last of Uhtred, it appears we have seen the last of Aelswith. Unfortunately, Butterworth has confirmed that she will not be returning for Seven Kings Must Die. Aelswith began as a coldly devout Christian who was determined to keep Uhtred’s pagan influence away from her family, but by the end of the show she’s an incredibly sympathetic and fun character.
