Hi Bernard,
Just finished The Pagan Lord – Brilliant! I eagerly await your new books, particularly this series. I do also feel the Arthur series would make a great film.
I live in Danesford, Bridgnorth, Shropshire, which is about 15 miles west of Tettenhall, in fact I have relatives buried in Danescourt Cemetery there. It sounds like there are quite a few Danes buried somewhere near as well!
My query is the translation of Wodnesfeld as present day Wednesbury. I would humbly suggest that it may refer to Wednesfield, which is just east of Wolverhampton, and a lot nearer than Wednesbury. I do take your point about the variation in spellings in ancient times though.
It’s great to have somewhere local feature in a major book anyway.
Kind Regards
Robin Perks
Just finished a riveting read of The Pagan Lord.. However it’s more likely to be modern day Wednesfield which is much closer than Wednesbury. Can’t wait for the next book
