Hi Mr. Cornwell. I´m Portuguese, 33 years old, and i began to read your books with the saxon stories. Love it so much i led my girlfriend to read them as well…and she almost became in love with Uhtred… I work in law, but i´m finishing an History degree because i do love History. And reading your books, above all, has taught me a lot, about celtics, britans, saxons, danish, etc…in addition, of course, to the pleasure they gave me. Well, i wouldn´t like to repeat any of the questions that were already made, but i also think it becomes inevitable. First, as an History lover, have you ever thought about writing stories in the age of, for example, Henry II (saw “the lion winter” a few months ago), the battle of Hastings or the civil war between the parliament and Charles II? Just curious…

Second, have you ever been proposed to adapt the saxon stories or the warlord stories to Television? Although I’m skeptical to these sort of adaptations (“The pillars of the earth” has disappointed me), i think they would became great TV series…

Third, have you ever been in Portugal signing books? Would that be a pleasant idea? P.S. 1 – Don´t know if you´re aware, but some of your books were part of the reading national plan. I was glad… P.S. 2 – I´m reading now an historical novel about the Portuguese “revolution” of 1383-1385, one of the first military “collaborations” between Portugal and England, which would became a formal alliance on 1387. The deceptions would happen later… Sincere compliments and a fraternal hug from one of your Portuguese readers, Vasco Cipriano
