Your stories have so many intriguing small historical details, I often go off exploring them as I’m re-reading. In the Winter King, Agravain tells Derfel about an old crush Arthur had on a woman he calls “Mella-Messa”.
Were you referring to the fairy Melusine,, legendary ancestor of Richard I?

Thanks for your work–I can re-read cause I always seem to find something new.
