I recently read through all of the Uhtred books in a row, and noticed some of his sworn men drop out over the years. I know some of died in books(Clapa, Rypere) but others like Cerdic just disappear. Are these characters still alive and just not needed for plot or did they die between novels? I have one more related question, is the Rollo who serves Rangar in The Burning Land the same Rollo who serves Uhtred in later books?
