Dear Bernard After listening to your radio programme on Radio4 and of course your dislike of Puritans I wondered if you had ever thought of the English Civil War and taking on the Puritans literary so to speak??

Also you have been writing about the Hundred years war and have course been writing about victories like Crecy and Agincourt and that you may also write about Vernuil and Poitiers as well. It would be wrong to see a war written about only half done and wondered if you will also write about the defeats from the British perspective Since you have done the victories since it seems only fair ie The siege of Orleans and Forigmby and Castelle that lost us the war the yr 1453 should allow Old man Hook to still be alive for the end????

Finally you are writing about Alfred and the forging of England any chance of Edward 1st and the forging on the United Kingdom??? yours sincerely Geraint

P.S If you have not read them I can recommend Charles Spencers book Prince Rupert the Last Cavalier and John Adamson’s the Nobel Revolt and finally Guy Dempseys book on the battle of Albuera
