Hi

 

Re Sharpe senior…

 

How about ‘Phillipe’

 

…Philip Kent of John Jakes fame

 

Ironically he was a Bastard, French….and in london at about  the same time Richard was born

 

are there any clues in the Sharpe books to the identity of Richard’s father?

 

I think you should write..”Sharpe’s Father” and put us out of our misery, it would sell like hot cakes 😉

Regards
