HI Mr Cornwell, just finished reading Death of Kings and it it you mention a Viking chief being kicked out of Ireland by the Irish, odd thing is a work friend of mine is a metal detector enthusiast and at in November last year he found about 200 pieces of Viking Treasure which the experts believe belonged to The same Viking chief mentioned in your book, hows that for timing. Trivia I know but I couldn’t get over the fact this Treasure has been in the Ground for over 1100 years and is found in a farmers field in Carnforth near where I live just at the same time as the guy who lost it is mentioned in one of your novels. If you want to read more about it just google viking treasure carnforth and it will come up.
