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
Danny
