We very much hope that the answers will be interesting and if it leads to a few more people learning about an extraordinary place then we see that as a very good thing. We are of course delighted that so many people have been inspired to learn more about the early medieval period as a result, but its not always easy to give simple answer to some of the more common question – such as: how much of the story is real? That is not an easy question to answer as the books are very well researched and draw a great deal from historical reality, but of course in the end they are a work of fiction telling a good yarn! In the next few blogs we will aim to cover the areas where the story touches on historical reality and what Bamburgh would have been like at that time. It would have looked very different in his day but was even by then almost certainly a stone fortress. ![]() The principal palace fortress of the Earls of Northumbria and a place so important to Uhtred. ![]()
