Hi. My son and I are both huge fans of The Last Kingdom series and we thank you for bringing them to us.
I do however have a really really cheeky request. Would it be possible to integrate the word (name) Cyningesburh into an Uhtred story? I’m sure you know what it means. As you can see from our surname there’s a ancestoral of connection for us. Although such a connection is lost to me the name lives on.
Why would you do this for us? Because it would make us so happy to know that our family name would be associated with Uhtred. It would become something for my family to pass on, connecting the past with the present and with the future.
As my mother (a Northumbrian by the way) is so fond of saying…if you don’t ask. You don’t get.
All the best.
