Hello, I’ve just finished reading the first two books in the Saxon series in Swedish. I’ll probably have to turn to the English originals for the other two since I assume it will be some time before they are translated. I really liked your books both as good reading but also for the historical interest. I’m involved in a viking association where we shoot old time bows and arrows and we have also organised a couple of viking festivals: http://www.gnejron.se/engindex.html. This year we had a Swedish historian/author holding a couple of lectures.

I wonder how certain one can be of the historical facts. In my genealogy I have found a connection with king Edvard (1003-1066). According to some source he had a daughter Jutta that married a Kiev king and a granddaughter of theirs married a Danish king. My son also used king Egbert as a base for a historical project in school. It this Egbert stone actually a place you can visit today in England? Johan
