Five moments in post-Roman Britain

[altariel]

As part of the recent "Five Things" meme that went around, I asked forodwaith for five moments in the life of Aquila (the hero of Rosemary Sutcliff's The Lantern-Bearers) that we did not see in the book.

And forodwaith has written these beautiful, melancholy vignettes. I am extremely lucky.

Ah - I'd never heard that name. Now I'm imagining in my head that Aquila misheard it when they first met, and mispronounces her name throughout their marriage.

It's the name that was later anglicised to Nesta. I like the mispronunciation idea!
