I was watching an online auction of coins recently when an item caught my attention:

Description: 1136-1145 AD. BMC type i. Obv: profile bust with sceptre with +STE[ ] legend. Rev: cross moline and fleurs with [+V]H[TR]ED:ON:EOF[ ] legend for the moneyer Uhtred at York mint. Found Kent, UK

So could it be that even after the Norman invasion Uhtred’s descendants kept the name and had the status of being in charge of the mint at York?

Below is a link to the coin which I thought might interest you

I am so pleased that there will be another chapter to Uhtred’s story and can’t wait for  the next book to be published.

Thank you

Ann
