Hello Mr Cornwell, have you ever thought of writing about Dick Whittington? He was a friend to Henry the IV and Henry the V. Also he he made a lot of changes in social welfare of the times. This always gets left out in the general history. There might not be much fighting in his story but a lot of intrigue. In Toronto, on University Avenue, there are two cannon. One was made in 1813 and the other in 1815. After rereading Sharpe’s Waterloo I look at the cannon with new respect. They are nine pounders. Did you read about the Saxon loot that was found buried a few days ago? Quite a number of the pieces are the sword pommels. Seems the Saxons liked to take the pommels from the defeated I look forward to your next read. Nicholas.
