Hmm. Are you thinking that Flavian's wife ran away with/was kidnapped by a Saxon, who shot Flavian in the process? I feel like that would have been mentioned - it seems like it would be thematically important. An extra helping of angst layered atop Flavia's choice to stay with the Saxons! "The Saxons already destroyed our family twice, Flavia - three times, if you stay here rather than coming with me!"
I've always wondered if Flavia's son was really as dyed-in-the-wool Saxon as he acted when Aquila met him. Clearly he was playing up his Saxonness because of his pride; it's hard to imagine Flavia didn't at least tell him stories about Rome (or recount the Odyssey, or whatever).
