hi it’s me once again i told you before how greatly enjoy the character of father prylig and i like how his nature and his place as uhtred ,s dear friend and staunch ally on the battlefield are the complete opposite of bishop asser his sworn enemy and bitter rival on the political court as both men are welsh and from the same welsh kingdom and both are devout christians and how both men show the extreme opposites of the church that are present throughout its history.. I also love how both are commited to alfreds dream of a unified christian saxon britain despite the effect it could have on their native people .. and despite their vast personal difference.. which brings me to my questions I wonder if uthred would ever become aware that there is still a roman empire in the east (of sorts ), and someone from that empire maybe a warrior priest like prylig would make a diplomatic visit to britain and somehow get entangled with uhtreds group . i imagined it
would be quite funny for uhtred to discover that there are other christian groups that dont completely follow the doctrines of the one he knows and considering his fascination of Britain s roman past he might learn a great deal of the great roman civililization from that priest considering the learning in the east as well as the military at that time was currently more advanced than anything they had in the west . come to think of it i kinda always hoped for uhtred to come across foreign priests from faraway places that were once warriors like father prylig i guess that wishful thinking goes back to the character of sagramor in the arthur trilogy and how he was the most intelligent learned and baddass and above all most loyal of arthurs followers aside from Derfel despite the fact that he was from africa and britaiin was nothing to him yet he came stayed and fought and finnaly died for its people out of love for his master arthur who was a briton.in any case i look
forward the pagan lord soon as i can and will look forward to seeing how uhtreds tale will conclude thanks .
