I have read all the Saxon stories with great interest. What puzzles me is how Britain became to be called England or in French Angleterre that is the land of the Angles.As the Saxons were the predominant people and little is known of the Angles or indeed the Jutes who arrived in Britain around the same time should it not seem reasonable to suggest that Britain should have become known as Saxonland. While the Angles settled in what is now East Anglia places like Sussex, Wessex refer to Saxons living in those areas of Britain as well as many more places mentioned in your books. As you are probably aware from your research parts of Ireland were also under Danish rule until the battle of Clontarf in 1014 when the Irish King Brian Boro beat the Danes and destroyed their power in Ireland. So in 2014 we will be celebrating the 1000 year anniversary of this battle. Finally may I say that I am looking forward to reading the next book in the Saxon series when it is published.and congratulations on bringing history to life and making it enjoyable to read.
