二人の妻
Ubba appears as a character in modern historical fiction. For example, the unnamed Danish king that appears in "", a musical play with a libretto by James Thomson (died 1748) and David Mallet (died 1765)—first presented in 1740—may be a composite of Ubba, Guthrum, Ívarr, and Hálfdan. Ubba certainly appears in "Alfred the Great, Deliverer of His Country", an anonymous play that first appears on record in 1753; and "The Magick Banner; or, Two Wives in a House", a play by John O'Keeffe (died 1833), first presented in 1796. He also appears in the "Sketch of Alfred the Great: Or, the Danish Invasion", a ballet by Mark Lonsdale, first performed in 1798; and "Alfred; An Epic Poem", a long piece of epic poetry by Henry James Pye (died 1813), published in 1801; and the similarly named "Alfred, an Epic Poem", by Joseph Cottle (died 1853)—a poem almost twice as long as Pye's—first published in 1800.
