I’ve read all the Uhtred-books, and was reading an article about the norwegian king Håkon den Gode Adalsteinsfostre (Hákon góði, Hákon Aðalsteinsfóstri) and was suddenly thinking about the Uhtred-books. As far as I remember there was a relative of Uhtred called Aethelstan? And was there any mention about (the king to be) Håkon in the books? Æðelst’n,modern english: Athelstan) 893-939 ? I’m a big fan, although the last book didn’t meet my expectations, sorry to say…

Hakon
