I am a huge fan of the Saxon Tales series. I have read the books and I also have the audio book versions of the books which I listen to on my ride to and from work with much enjoyment.

It seems that the pronunciations of the character’s names differ from audio reader to audio reader. One reader pronounces Uhtred as OOH-TRED and another speaks it as YOU-TRED. Similarly, they pronounce Steapa as STAY-APPA and as STEEPA. There are a variety of other such differing enunciations but could you clarify what you believe to be the correct enunciation of Uhtred? Thank you and hope Uhtred never grows too old!
