Hi Bernard,

I just started book 10, The Flame Bearer, and I had a thought about Uhtred’s oaths.  He is very aware of his oath to Aethelflaed but did he not swear an oath to Edward on Alfred’s deathbed after Alfred granted him that new estate? I don’t have a copy to Death of Kings to confirm this but he doesn’t seem to mention it in the books I’ve read so far that take place after Death of Kings. Was it just a temporary oath like in the tv show or was it supposed to be for life?
