Dear Mr Cornwell,

sorry to bother you, I am a very big fan and have read all of your books. I currently enjoy THE WARRIOR CHRONICLES. In these wonderful books , the character Uhtred uses the phrase “wyrd bid ful aread -fate is enexorable.. I love languages, could you please tell me what actual language this comes from please. Silly question I know. I look forward to your reply, as long as you have time,

.Yours faithfully

Scott.
