I found “Lords of the North” in my local Ottaker’s today and have just finished it. A great read . . . thank you very much. Since you have mentioned several times that you are descended from the Ango-Saxon high reeves of Bamburgh, I wondered if you have read “Bloodfeud” by Richard Fletcher (published 2001), which deals with the blood feud following the murder of a later Uhtred in 1016. It is one of the better works on medieval history I have read.
