Women
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).

In "the Burning Land" he was found lying with a slave girl in Dunholm by Father Pyrlig, one of many instances of indiscriminate womanizing.
