Hi. I loved your work. The old english sound beautiful. Do you have acces to all the E manuscript of the anglosaxon chronicle? I'm a student of history in Mexico and I'm doing a documentary about the norman conquest and how they aporopiated the arthurian legend. I looked for a version of the anglosaxon chronicle in old english but I couln't find it so, I was wondering if you can send some parts that I all ready selected. Thank you for your work and your time.

I need some extracts of the years: 1066, 1087, 1100, 1106 and 1140 in Old English. I don't know if you can give me your e-mail adress so that I can send you a document with the exact extracts in English. I know it's to much asking but if you have the time and it's not to much trouble it would be great if you can help me. Thank you so much. (Sorry if my English is bad, I'm stil learning).

And if is not to much asking, I was wondering if you can send me a video like this with all the parts that I need (is like a page and a half), beacuse I would like to use it for de documentary. Thank you again, every time that I listen this is like to travel to the twelfth century.
