First can I say I really like virtually all your books, except for the American Civil War series. My favourites are the Winter King.

I have stayed off subject, I was reading a book about my family history and found near the back a passage that reads ” Uthred, Earl of Northumberland, temp about 1006, put away his wife to marry the daughter of a rich man named Styr ( my ancestor)  it caries on……..

But we could be relatives, don’t worry I won’t expect an invitation to stay foe Xmas

Just thought you might be interested
