About Osferth
Osferth is a character from the tv series The Last Kingdom, played by the English actor Ewan Mitchell. The series is based on The Saxon Stories, a series of novels by Bernard Cornwell. I haven't read the books so I don't know that version of Osferth, therefore this fanlisting is only for the TV version of this character.Osferth is a young monk, illegitimate son of King Alfred, who decided to put himself at the service of the main character, Uhtred of Bebbanburg, as a warrior. He's not really a warrior, though, at east at the beginning, and that's why Finan, Uhtred right hand, often calls him "baby monk". That's where the name of this site is from (and also, look at him! He is a Baby Monk!).
The first time I saw him was in some animated gif online, of the famous scene "I would like you all to surrender. Or I will smite you." (that remains my favourite), and it's because of him that I started to watch the series. I loved him immediately, and I loved every single one of his scenes. I liked The Last Kingdom, in the end, but mostly I watched it waiting for more Osferth's scenes! Since there wasn't a fanlisting for this wonderful character - an astonishingly criminal occurende, IMHO - I decided to try and make my first own fanlisting!
