HI BERNARD,
WE’VE HAD REPORTS HERE IN THE BRITISH PRESS ABOUT THE DISCOVERY OF THE’LOST’ VIKING ARMY DESCIBED IN THE ANGLO SAXON CHRONICLE AS A ‘GREAT VIKING HORDE’-THE ENTRY BEIG MADE IN 866AD.IT TRANSPIRES THIIS WAS THE ARMY LED BY GUTHRUM AND ULTIMATELY DEFEATED BY ALFRED THE GREAT AT EDINGTON.APPARENTLY THE REMAINS OF SOME 250 PEOPLE WERE DISCOVERED AT REPTON IN DERBYSHIRE IN THE 1980’S.NOW DUE TO ADVANCES IN CARBON DATING AND OTHER TOOLS IT CAN BE PROVEN THEY ALL DATE FROM THE SAME TIME.
I LOVE THE WAY YOU WEAVE YOUR MAIN FICTIONAL CHARACTERS INTO HISTORY USING OUR EXCELLENT WRITING SKILLS BACKED UP BY YOUR EXTENSIVE RESEARCH.IT’S REALLY AMAZING THAT WHILST YOUR STORIES ARE MEANT TO ENTERTAIN THEY CAN ALSO EVOLVE FURTHER AS NEW ARCHAEOLOGY FINDS ARE MADE.
THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED-SO THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE READING PLEASURE
BEST WISHES
KEITH
P.S ONE OF MY PET HATES IS THE NON USAGE OF ‘A.D’ AND ‘B.C’ WHEN USING DATES.HOPE YOU KEEP ON USING THEM IF YOU NEED TO.
