Vor 15 Jahren erschien Bernard Cornwells erster historischer Roman um den Krieger Uhtred von Bebbanburgh, ein fiktiver Held historisch verbürgter Auseindersetzungen zwischen Wikingern und Angelsachsen im 9. Jahrhundert, als deren Ergebnis England als Nation ins Licht der Geschichte trat. Die Bebbanburgh, heute Bamburgh Castle, liegt hoch oben in Northumbrien, und Cornwell ist direkter Nachfahre ihrer frühmittelalterlichen Herren. Bis dato hat der Autor elf weitere Uhtred-Romane geschrieben: Es ist die derzeit wohl erfolgreichste Serie historischer Abenteuerromane weltweit. Ein internationaler Erfolg wurde auch die Verfilmung für das Fernsehen, 2019 hat Netflix die vierte Staffel angekündigt.
