Thanks for answering my question about The Pale Horseman title relating to the Apocalypse–pretty naive of me–I kept looking for a pale horseman as I read in the book!! I find Your Questions and Bulletin Bd. fascinating reading; in fact, thanks to your mention of Bloodfeud: Murder and Revenge in Anglo-Saxon England,by Richard Fletcher, I have now ordered THAT!! However, I do pray that somehow YOUR Uhtred does NOT get killed!! I have lived vicariously in his victories, and have become so “attached” to him, I hope as I read on, that “our” Uhtred is A-OK. I was quite pained to read of the death of his little son. Thanks for fascinating reading, and for patiently answering me, again,–and you may be related to Otzi?!!! THAT’s interesting! Elfreth
