Hello Mr. Cornwell,

While I am just starting 1356, I had a few questions regarding one of my favorite characters of all time, Thomas of Hookton. He is very affable and intelligent, and I wanted to know how he learned Latin and got into Oxford. Did one have to be legitimately born to become a priest? If so, was he an exception? I really love the series, and I was also wondering if you’ve ever gotten any offers for an adaptation of the novels. Thomas of Hookton would make an amazing movie!

Regards,

Bobby
