Thinking of Uhtred and all his enemies, who do you think have the best case against him and would write a really good history of his life that paints him horribly? I always go back to Brother Asser who has a decent case after the shenanigans Uhtred caused with the Britons. That was pretty shady of him. Also I’m only through the Death of Kings, still making my way through them.
Only just occurred to me on my 5th read/listen through but how did Haesten keep coming back with lots of men? True after The Burning Land he was never really the head of any great army but he still kept coming back as the leader of many men. All throughout the books we're told how fragile the northmen's armies are and people will trickle away when their lord displays weakness or fails to achieve anything yet even though Haesten keeps getting defeated time and time again he somehow seems to keep his followers. I know Uhtred needed an enemy to last through the majority of the series but think old Bernie Corners overlooked this little detail.
