Mr. Cornwell,

I have to start by saying how much I love your style of writing. I have binged through all of your medieval story lines and have been fascinated and moved by how you portray these amazing historical figures through the eyes of complex and interesting characters. The Saxon series has been absolutely amazing so far and I’m very excited to see how well BBC can pull off Uhtred’s story. With all that being said, I was wondering if you would ever consider telling the story of William Wallace in the same exciting way as you told King Alfred and Warlord Arthur’s stories. My father and I (who both wear Thor’s hammer amulet now after reading Uhtred’s chronicles.. haha) have talked about how cool it would be to see a more accurate portrayal of Wallace’s brutal fight for freedom. After reading historical and biographical information on Wallace, it was very disappointing to see how wrong the movie Braveheart was about him. He was a warlord! We are very proud of our Scottish heritage and we have actually traced our lineage back to a man listed as Squire Guthrie who is reported to have convinced Wallace to return from France. I really appreciate that you take the time to listen and respond to your fans. I can’t wait for what you have next for us!

Thanks,

Taylor Guthrie
