Dear Mr. Cornwell:
Congratulations on “The Last Kingdom” series, and now TV series. I started watching, but decided I’d rather read it first.
Just a question on Norse religion. In several places early on in the first book characters state that the Vikingr religion had no clergy. I’m not any kind of expert, but almost all ancient pagan European religions had Some form of clergy/ shaman/ druids/ temple guardians. Weren’t the Norse priests/ priestesses called gothi/ hofgothi? Of course the leaders and nobles might have religious roles as well.
Looking forward to the rest of the saga of Uhtred!
