Dear Mr Cornwell, I read “The Last Kingdom”. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I am from Denmark, you see. While that doesn’t necessarily make me an expert on the subject of vikings, I feel that you have accurately depicted their way of living and most of all their sense of humour! I found it really amusing reading about the Danes being referred to as the bad guys! Only one minor thing bothered me and that was one of your references to the Norse gods. Since it is mythology now, I realize that it is open for interpretation but you say that Njord’s wife was Ran? It is well recorded that Njord married Skade after being chosen by her in a beauty contest where she could only see the male gods from the ankles down. Ran was married to Aegir. I just wanted to know where you got your sources on Norse mythology? can’t wait for the next book about Uhtred. Anders Iversen
