Dear Mr Cornwell,

I have just finished the last of Uhtred’s adventures and I am simultaneously exhilarated but saddened to see his journey has ended.  With each of your novels, through his eyes I learned much about the birth of Englaland.  I have laughed at his impetuousness, which has gotten him not some serious trouble, admired his sense of honor, cringed at his lack of discretion, but always happy to see him find a way out of predicaments often of his on making.  I do have a question though.  At the end of Sword of Kings, Uhtred sadly thinks of Folcbald who dies at the Battle of Crepelgate. But at the end of War Lord,  Folcbald, unless he is a different Frisian, is fighting alongside of Uhtred with Wibrund right after Aethelstan has killed Thorfinn.  Is this the same Folcbald or a different warrior of the same name?   I have also read the Arthur stories, the Grail series as well as Stonehenge, and Agincourt.  Thank you so much for all of the research that gives birth to so much inspired story telling.  And I agree that Alexander Dreymon is Uhtred!
