Hi, Bernard, You may recall we had a brief exchange some time ago about the name Uhtred appearing twice in the Welsh Mabinogion as Uchdryd ab Erim and Uchdryd Farf Draws, and I said it was a popular name among the Welsh. As you already know, we are all eagerly awaiting the further adventures of Uhtred. I’ve read the archives where you mentioned that the 6th. instalment in the Saxon series is going to be called “The Thorn Crown”. When is this book coming out in print? I will most certainly pre-order it. Best Wishes, Karen Han
