Bernard,
Hello, my name is Robert Burns. I will try to keep my question brief as I know that you are a busy man. I am a bladesmith and blacksmith from the United States. I have been reading your books for a number of years and particularly fell in love with the Warrior Chronicles. I felt you captured the many very realistic elements of what one would expect in that time period. I particularly was inspired by the main character Uhtred and his two sword blades. Now for the question; I am currently working on making a smaller seax based off of anglo saxon finds and a Norwegian Langsax based off of the Arhus Farm find. I wanted to name these blades and had decided on a name for the larger sword being Thorgrim. What I was wondering was if you would be so kind as to allow me to name the second blade Uhtred in honor of your character. Thank you very much for reading this and I look forward to your response.
My best regards,
Robert Burns
