Just wondered if you’d read Michael Wood’s thoughts on the location of Brunanburh. I attended a lecture at Liverpool Uni a few years back where he made a convincing case for Barnsdale (could there be a more Yorkshire name?). Hopefully the link below takes you to the relevant article – Brunanburh is mentioned later on. I’m guessing this battle might form the “big finish” for our favourite Northumbrian hero.
Your books have given me hours of entertainment – they should be on the National Curriculum.
