@@dansmith3755 I like Finan. He and Uhtred both suffered greatly in season 2 when they were slaves - they now share an unbreakable bond. I don’t think the comedy from Finan is too much, but that’s just me
I agree wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, it is my opinion, the actor who portrays Finan, in the show was miscast. He resembles nothing that reminds of the Finan in the Uhtred novels.
What a excellent video of the life of this extraordinary person of feith . I loved the character he played in the last Kingdom. Thanks for your amazing content .❤
its difficult for a tv show or movie to be totally accurate but to intruduce historical people and events is definitely a good baseline to get your to understand things . i now know all theses different territories of England because of this show.
I wouldn’t think the show is focused on Saint Finan, based on the conflicting backgrounds. More likely it could be said Finan in the show was named for the saint, and his cross he wore was of that denomination.
We pronounce it as (fine-in.) My uncle Jim Finan was born in Sligo and he pronounces it as (fine-in) and when my grandparents were visiting Ireland my grandma was talking to someone and a lady walked past them and the man called out good morning Mrs. Finan. Once again the man pronounced it as (fine-in).
Like the Kings from Noway pronounced their last name Finehair. Did you happen to see them in some of the Viking shows? The most recent being on Netflix. They all are interesting to me.
Yeah an Irish warrior named, Finnan wearing a Celtic cross. So he's obviously based on a saint. That couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. The hundreds of years in difference. Makes this a big stretch dude
@@historyprofiles all good! Great video so good to pay tribute to these amazing people of long ago.. I was curious about the pronunciation thinking of old Irish language perhaps…some expert will know
@@historyprofiles bro ur such a stud.. When it comes to history... I've been so fascinated by ur channel.. I grew a liking to medieval english history.. Trying to move to England now..
Finan was my favorite supporting main character of the show!
Why ,? All he does is make some corny jokes and follow Uthred around all day

@@dansmith3755 his loyalties they were a band of brothers
@@dansmith3755Er he is one of his best friends and loyal Warrior companion,of course they are close.
Was a very good character !!
Finan is such a great Last Kingdom character, so strange to learn he lived so early in Anglo Saxon history
I never realized Finan was based on a real person.
Yeah it’s crazy !
"Him, cant be Uhtred son of Uhtred, I am prettier than this man!" Finan always reminded me of Stephen (irishman) from Braveheart.

@@az53999 Oooo I need to check out those books.
That’s what I thought exactly; reminds me of Stephen from Braveheart ❤

Finan dandy!
@@reggieluv31 Yup. Exactly. I love them too lol
@@blakusfintasticus 😂🤣
Great job
Thank you so much for watching !!
Our local cemetery in Kilkenny Ireland is dedicated to Saint Finan.
Finan..my fav character.
He really was awesome
excellent channel
But in the show he was a warrior but in real life he was just a bishop so why did they change him in the series?
Have you done anything about the River Tweed & the history of its "supposed" beginnings/history?
Name of song ? Please
Wait, Bede is still just "Venerable"?
I think a lot of early Christians needed to take "live and let live" to heart
...then again so do a lot of modern christians
Humans in general.

Cathalocism isn’t the same as catholic?
Im pretty sure they are not supposed to be the same person
I think the Finan of the last kingdom was the descendant of St. Finan of Lindisfarne
It sucks when actual history comes along and destroys one of the best characters in a hollyweird production
Awesome..pronounced “Fee’nan” ?
I just pronounced it how they did on the show
@@historyprofiles all good! Great video so good to pay tribute to these amazing people of long ago.. I was curious about the pronunciation thinking of old Irish language perhaps…some expert will know
I honesty would have never guessed that Finan was a real person, much less an Irish Saint
Indeed! Neither would have I !
St Finan was an Orthodox Christian not Roman Catholic!
So finan wasn't a fighter and never went to any alehouses? Wtf?
Everyone went to alehouses cmon
