I hadn’t realized that you actually are descended from Uhtred the Bold – so am I! My maiden name was Dunbar, and Uhtred the Bold’s daughter Ealdgyth married Maldred, the brother or half-brother of Duncan I, and they became the ancestors of the Earls of Dunbar, some of whom feature in my family tree too. I am such a fan of yours that this connection (which I realize is shared about with110 million others) was a thrilling discovery for me – and as I just turned 79, thrills aren’t all that common any more. So I send you greetings from your Canadian “cousin”.
