Bernard,

firstly just to say how thoroughly enjoyable the Saxon stories have been I’m totally hooked and engrossed with Uhtred. I have a question of some historical significance and not sure if you’ll be able to answer it. I was born and raised in Brackenwood on the Wirral peninsula in England. I was intrigued in the Empty throne with references to Brombrough and Chester and wondered if Brackenwood was the supposed site of the battle of Brunanburh? I know there is much dispute about it but wondered what historical info you researched about it so I can make my own enquiries. Anyway hope you can help. Keep up the fantastic creativity and ideas. Your books are compelling :)
