I am currently reading Death of Kings and i am at the point where Uhtred is expanding his manorial buildings etc…. at Fairford. I was born and raised in Cirencester and have a memory of a History teacher telling me the that the Danes only got as close as Lechlade and that is why there are so many people called Godwin living in that area. Godwin being a Scandinavian name. I know of a few family’s in the Fairford and Lechlade area with the name of Godwin. Do you think this story has any credence or just a History teachers story telling? Regards David Fletcher
