Really interesting start. I don't think I've read a story set this far back in time before. Nice to read that personal hygiene was top of a monks list. Fastidisous = bathing once a year!! I want to read on but have to get kids ready for school so I've got to wait. Looking forward to it though.

Author's Response: thanks for the review, hope you like the rest, between motherly duties:) there was a letter written by one of the saxon queens when she boasted, and i mean boasted that she had only bathed twice in her lifetime, once when she was born and once the day before her wedding!!! more soon

Nice job setting things up. I can just imagine how they all look.

One thing - "bible" should be capitalized, as it's a book title. The Bible or The Holy Bible are both appropriate.

Author's Response: many thanks for the correction. that one slipped passed my Beta thanks for the review

Author's Response: The correction has been made

I LOVE this time period! I'm so glad you're doing a fic on this! It's very well written and I can't wait to read more. Nice that Tara is William's cousin. And yes, life was so harsh back then. Keep up the great work!

Author's Response: i research this period for museums and my husband writes histroy books on it, he's had 3 published!!, my favourite period:) life was tough, but i hope to show the differences between the saxons and vikings. enjoy the rest

Oooh, intriguing start. I loved the way you described William's life so far, it was nice to be able to imagine it all. I'm looking forward to more of this.

Author's Response: glad you could picture it, this is the period of history i really know, lecturing about it and researching it for museums etc. more soon

Thank you for your e-mail! :) It was sweet of you to tell me :) I saw your new fic yesterday, but I didn't have time to read it then. If I read a new fic, I want to have enough time to enjoy it, if you know what I mean ;) Not just rush through it....

Interesting start! :) Does it take place during the Middle Ages? So William is a monk, and Tara is his cousin, who will marry someone? But she doesn't want to? She wants to become a nun. And now the Northmen are about to attack the monastery. This looks promising!

Looking forward to read more, sweetie :) /Ariadne

Author's Response: thank you so much for the review and glad you liked it it takes place around 1007, the end of the part of history known as the dark ages

Author's Response: bad JL, bad real life, was doing two pieces of research and wrote the wrong year to your posting, its 900!!, but what's a 100 years between friends?)

Interesting start; I'm not sure yet where it will lead to (Northmen = Vikings?). I think it plays around 1007 around? ~ Looking forward to more :)

Author's Response: plays at the turn of the last millenium so 1007 is near enough, and yes Norhmen= vikings, hope you enjoyed

Author's Response: oops, year wrong, Don't ever do TWO pieces of research at the same time and not check the words before posting:) year is around 900
