Uhtred has a very strong claim to the throne of Mercia, being a cousin of the late ruler through his mother, as well as a renowned warrior and general, but Aethelhelm wants to prevent him from using his position to promote Aethelstan's claim at the expense of Aelfweard's. Uhtred, therefore, virtuously swears an oath to support Aelfweard's claim so long as he is Lord of Mercia, and Aethelhelm backs him... and Uhtred becomes Lord of Mercia... and immediately abdicates in favour of Aethelflaed, widow of the last Lord of Mercia, sometime lover of Uhtred, and fellow supporter of Aethelstan. Aethelhelm's reaction just sells it.
