Dear Mr. Cornwell, Thank you for writing about the Danes. I’m a dane and I very much like to read how the Danes are perceived by you via Uhtred. I have the feeling, that it is not only Uhtred that has his difficulties choosing side. Alfred dies in 901, but the (hi-)story doesn’t end there. Ethelred II was defeated by the Danish Canute the Great -so we did succeed in the end. Should you ever want to make a film, then I have 3 sons with blond hair and blue eyes. The middle one is 15 years, 105 kg, 1,96 m tall, strong like an ox, and still growing. He could be Ragnar. Anyway, I like you Saxon stories. Thanks a lot!
