I’ve devoured all the book in the Saxon Tales saga, and feel I’ve lived through Uhted’s life alongside him the the shield wall. When I read in The Flame Bearer that Babanburgh Castle exists today as Bamberg Castle I decided to go to Scotland to visit it in person. Then it occurred to me, “Why not visit other important sites of Uhtred’s life?” Starting in Wessex where he first meets Alfred the Great, the redoubt in swampy south east Englaland prior to breaking out and starting to drive back the Norwegians and Danes. Do you have such a ‘tour’ or have you ever recommended such an itinerary to your readers? I think it’d be a fascinating vacation. Any ideas, Bernard?
