Hello Mr Cornwell. My name is Jorge Irwin and this is the second time I’ve posted on your comments board. I only do things like this when I feel compelled to and its not very often. I wanted to tell you what a pleasure it has been reading the warlord trilogy for the second time. Those books are so detailed that reading them the second time was actually more interesting than the first. There’s so much id like to ask you about your seemingly vast knowledge of dark age britain but alas text conversation is tedious. One question I will ask is about your character Sagramor who was one of Arthur’s warlords. Was he based at all on an actual historical character? In many versions of robin hood, robin of locksley is accompanied by a moorish warrior who he met on campaign in the holy land. But is there anything to suggest the romans brought black skinned mercenaries to britain? For obvious reasons it seems such a man no matter how heroic would have trouble assimilating. Tell me your thoughts on this if you wouldn’t mind. Thanks and by the way when will we next hear from Uhtred?
