This will be his eleventh novel and the fifth of the very popular Wessex novels.

Gytha of Wessex the daughter of the last Anglo-Saxon king of England married Rus ruler Vladimir II Monomakh after fleeing from England conquered by Normans.

You might as well call me English too (I live in Wessex after all)!

In the UK we have privatised water companies, covering regions but how on earth can I, within the purvey of Wessex water, get my water from say Scotland.

Devon was largely subsumed by Wessex (West Saxons) earlier than Cornwall and hence is a bit more English (whatever that means.) The reason that I'm wittering on about history is those roads are seriously old and have a context.

At its largest extent the Danelaw covered only about half of england, and it lasted around a century before the Kingdom of Wessex conquered first the other remaining Anglo-saxon kingdoms, then retook the Danelaw, and created a unified Kingdom of England.
