I like all your novels that I read since years  and the characters you create (Sharpe, Arthur, Uthred, Nicholas Hook, Saban, etc.) Moreover I like your historical concern, the accurate details you developp and the way you make your path between history and fiction. But I’m French and something bother me in your Last kingdom chronicle.(4th volume) ; Frankia is assimilated to Germany (in Place names) which is not fair and moreover wrong. Since the 9th century – after the partition of Charlemagne’s Empire at Verdun – till the 17th century, the name of  Francia – and the title of its king (Rex Francorum) – had always significate France and surely not Germany!

Sincerely yours,

Gilles a french fan. Definitely
