LOL, so I'm not the only one that went "WTF" with the last few?

I've been reading the Lords of the North series by Bernard Cornwell. It focuses on Alfred the Great, and the clashes between the Saxons and Danes over territory to make England. I'd definitely put this in the adventure historical category: lots of battles and sword fights and stolen hoards, but the author does do his homework on places, timeline and incidents.

The reason I mention this series in response to your post is that the series is also a study of the clash between the Christians and the Danish pagans. I like that it is somewhat historical in context, without the usual feminist/wicca-ish twist that tends to get put on paganism in old England. Anyway, they are a lot of fun.
