The Pagan lord was fantastic. Easily the best Uhtred book since the Pale Horseman.
My question is about the fighting quality of the Danes. As the Danes settled in Northumbria, Mercia and East Anglia did the standard of their fighting men drop as boats of blood thirsty Vikings became settlers and farmers of England’s Danish occupied kingdoms? Did the Danes eventually have to call upon a fyrd like army?
Thank you for the many, many books.
