I have just finished 1356 and I enjoyed it very much. I wondered if you had come across the story of Sir John Chandos in your research of the hundred years war?  He was from Radbourne in Derbyshire (a few miles from where I grew up) and was one of the original Knights of the Garter. His life seems a fascinating one. Apparently he was not only a fierce warrior and skilled military strategist, he was also a peacemaker whose untimely death was regretted by both the English and French sides as he was seen as a key to finding a lasting peace. If you should ever return to the Sir Thomas Hookton stories in the future I hope you include a few lines about Sir John Chandos as his story does seem a little lost to history.
