Dear Mr. Cornwell, I am listening to Death of Kings and am loathe to reach the end for I know there will be no more of Uhtred’s adventures for a while. Since I am listening, I am not sure of spelling, so forgive any errors I make, please. What I am confused about is that in the other Saxon books he is Uhtred of Bebenburg, but in this book he is Uhtred of another place…skips my poor 65 year old brain at the moment. Why is that?

Can you recommend a good history of that period in England’s history before it was England? Are any of the fortresses mentioned in the books still standing? Ruins? Thank you so much! By the way, I live on the Cape as well. Are you going to be doing any book signings in any of the cape cod book stores? Vicki
