Mr. Cornwell,

First off, I love your books. I’ve read all of the Saxon Tales (which are totally bad-ass) and am a complete fan.

I, unfortunately, have to point out an inconsistency.  In Book 4 (I believe) Uhtred and Gisela are about to have their third child. The oldest son is named Uhtred and when the third child, a son, named Osbert is born, Gisela dies giving birth.

In The Pagan Lord, Uhtred is outraged by his son Uhtred’s becoming a priest that he strips him of his name and calls him Judas. Osbert then becomes Uhtred.

Then, when Uhtred and his youngest son Uhtred are taking the fort at Ceaster the son speaks in Danish, which Uhtred (the father) explains he learned from Gisela. How could that be true when Gisela died giving birth to him?

I am so sorry to bother you, but my wife told me to write you so that I stop bothering her about this :) Love your books, and keep writing,

Sean
