Dear Mr. Cornwell: I am as enthralled by the Saxon tales as I was by The Sharpe series–enthralled by the perfect match between your stunning imagination and your staggering research, to say nothing of your sense of dark humor. There’s no mention of Angles or Anglii in the late 800s of Uhtred and King Alfred. Does that mean the Saxons had virtually eliminated the Angles but then named their country England?
