hello mr. Cornwell…

I have sent comments to your blog page in the past and you were nice enough to respond quickly and I appreciate that… I just have a question about populations in Britain around the time of your Saxon stories, and also the Arthur books that maybe you could answer… I tried unsuccessfully to get  this question answered online, but there doesn’t seem to be much information about it…I know that you did a lot of heavy research before writing your books to make the stories more believable…maybe you know about the populations of the Saxons and British kingdoms around the time of the Arthur trilogy… Also what are the populations of the various kingdoms in Viking Age England? Not just the Saxons, but the Welsh and Danes as well…and let’s not forget Ireland! I know high king Brian had a hell of a time fighting off the Vikings in his day! Anything you could tell me about it I would very much enjoy… As always you are awesome and keep your books coming…
