My wife came home with the last two of the Warrior Chronicles which I enjoyed immensely.  I will now have to get the others.  Enjoyment enhanced by the fact that to the best of my knowledge you have written a story about my wife’s ancestors.  Mindful of your concern re: story lines, if this contact starts one I would be pleased but would not make any claims re: origins.  My wife’s pedigree in one line goes back to Pepin (Mayor of the Palace 714), Great Great Great Grandfather of the Emperor Charlemagne (“Sir Hilgrove Turner, soldier and courtier under the Georges” by Arthur Loveday.  1964 The Alkham Press).  The family tree gives at least 3 lines of decent from Alfred via Eadgifu = Charles the Simple and Maude de Percy = John Lord Neville of Raby whose roots go back to both the first and second wives of Edward the Elder.
