Hello, I would first like to say that I am a big fan of your novels and enjoy reading them very much. I am currently a student at Umass Amherst and am taking a history course on the early middle ages. We have been assigned a primary source essay, and I have choice to write about the Martyrdom of St. Edmund, King of East Anglia, 870. It was written/translated by an Abbo of Fleury. As you probably know it deals with one of my favorite scenes from your Saxon Stories. When the invading Danes shoot and kill the East Anglian King thus proving that God would not protect him from the heathen blows. I was wondering if you could point me towards any other source material that you may have used in your research of this topic. I thank you for your time and look forward to your reply. -Jeremy Williams, Umass 2010
