Dear Bernard We know that Uhtred lives to his 80’s, as such I feel compelled to ask whether we will hear about any of Uhtred’s son’s/daughters or grandson’s/granddaughers. After doing a bit of research myself I have discovered that a number of characters could be related to Uhtred, namely Osulf – Earl of all Northumbria in 954, with death of Eric Bloodaxe. and his son Waltheof I was the earl of Northumbria (963-995), the son and successor of Osulf I (Waltheof is a Danish name which is curious).Waltheof was succeeded by Uchtred (or Uhtred), called the Bold, who was the earl of Northumbria from 1006 to 1016, when he was assassinated. He was the son of Waltheof I, earl of Bernicia, whose ancient family had ruled from Bamburgh north of the Tees since the late ninth century. In 1006, while his father was alive but too aged to fight, Uhtred defeated Malcolm II of Scotland at the siege of Durham, and he was rewarded by King Ethelred II with the earldom of all Northumbria. Just wondering if somehow this all fits together with your masterplan for Uhtred? Kind Rgds Phil
