Uhtred, in accordance with the times, is associated with many women, yet there are few women who shape his life. Uhtred has a penchant for defiant women who have "a spirit like an eagle", a characteristic he has attributed to many a woman. Conversely he dislikes woman who crave order and Christianity, (Æthelflaed and Hild are exceptions). However, Uhtred does not limit himself to those women with whom he has a long-standing relationship. In "the Burning Land" he was found lying with a slave girl in Dunholm by Father Pyrlig, one of many instances of indiscriminate womanizing.

That drains your purse, that burns your clothes,
That makes a chimney of your nose.”
