Hi, just started reading Lords of the North and something occurred to me – Apologies if you’ve already been asked this a thousand times before, but I’ve noticed that in the Saxon Stories, Uhtred, being fluent in Danish, seems to be one of the few Saxons who can speak with the Northmen. But I had always thought that Danish (Norse) and Old English were mutually intelligible in those days anyway. Or is that a myth? Anyway, I’m loving the series and hope there will be plenty more to come. Regards, Sam.
