Whilst recently re-reading your Saxon saga of books, which by the way i found utterly gripping, i noticed a small error. I was reading the Historical Note section at the end of the first novel in the series ‘The Last Kingdom’ and your opening statement is that King Alfred is hr only English king to ever be awarded the honorific of ‘Great’. It then suddenly struck me that actually that is not true. King Cnut was awarded the same honorific. I’m sure you probably know who he is and don’t mean to patronise you, i am just proving that i actually bothered to check myself before bothering you. He came to the English throne in 1016, and he then managed to gain Kingship of Denmark in 1018, and then finally Norway just before his death in 1030. I do not mean to detract from the thrilling story line of your novels, but i feel that it is slight to such a great (if you will pardon the pun) man’s memory when no-one seems t have heard of him anyway. Thank-you very much for taking the time to read this and I’m sorry from distracting you from the next novel in the series which I am waiting for in eager anticipation! Thank-You Sam Upward

PS. i do realise he was Danish if that is the reason you have failed to mention him, and there may even be others, and I apologise for my ignorance. I am no historian other than GCSE History, which I am sitting next month.
