After finding the last kingdom and reading all ten books, I became an avid fan of yours and you have somewhat incitiated my fascination with the ‘dark ages’ in England. I am now reading the war lord chronicles & my question is about Excalibur. You end mentioned in the book a few times that people were ‘buried feet to the north holding their sword’, as Aelle also requested and I’d like to know more about this and why facing north? I’m aware that people are buried facing to the east and ‘pagans’ did so, but I’d not heard about feet facing north.

If you have time to expand for me that would be amazing!

Kind regards,
