dear Bernard, thank you for the hours of enjoyment that your books give me, especially the warlord trilogy and the Uhtred books. I wonder, will Uhtred make it to Bebbanburg? An achievement in those days,I know,but not impossible.

I would also like to know if you would ever consider writing about 1066 and all that? Especially about the flight of the thegns and siward barn to join the varangian guard. If not could you recommend somebody who has? Anthony Barry
