Hello Bernard Cornwell, greetings from Norway!

After the first season of The Last Kingdom aired, your books have been popping up everywhere in norwegians bookstores, which led me to discover your writing, and I think it’s amazing. I haven’t been much of a reader, but your books have pretty much made me fall in love with books, which I thank you for.

I was wondering if when you write Historical fiction, is it possible to replace a minor historical person with your own made up one? I don’t mean to replace him completely, but different actions like for example taking someone’s life, or leading a group of men into battle.

Thank you very much!

Martin
