Hey! Just a couple of daft questions not related to each other: In Sharpe’s Fortress, Sharpe blows the brains out of a certain officer. (hint begins with a T). He hands the pistol to him so he’d blow his own brains out, the officer however points the gun at Sharpe only to find its wasn’t charged properly. My question is, if the officer tried to blow his own brains out would Sharpe of let him off? Or would he of killed him anyway?

Second, in Uhtred’s time did they speak english as we speak today or a totally different language?
