Dear Mr. Cornwell,

my question is maybe a little bit unusual.

A friend of mine will soon celebrate his 50th anniversary. As a gift he would love to get the lyrics of the war song of Beli Mawr which takes place in your Arthur Books. He is a really big fan of your books. I also read the books an they are one of my favourites.

I know, that Beli Mawr is mentioned in the Historia Brittonum by Geoffrey of Monmouth. But i didn’t find any sources for the war song.

My question is, whether the song is a fiction by you, or are there any source that contains the lyrics of the song? I’m studying History, so that would be also very interesting to me.

I hope this question is not too immoral and I hope you can help me.

 

Many thanks and the best wishes from Dortmund, Germany.
