Please note… 1; Like many, I am a huge fan of your work. 2: This question has probably been asked before…

Being such a fan of your work I am surprised it took me so long to get around to reading the Warrior Chronicles series, which I started years ago but only recently picked up again and am loving it (And also believe it should be made into a television film series; which, if a non-speaking gratis extra is needed, I’m there).

Why is it, when it was the Angles who settled largely in Northumbria, Mercia, and East Anglia, that Uhtred of Northumbria and Brida of East Anglia are still considered Saxons?

(Is this a case of 19th century Britain -or even today- when people said/say England but mean Britain or is it because too many would scratch their heads if Uhtred proudly called himself an Angle?)
