Dear Mr Cornwall, I am a third year history student at St Hilda’s College, Oxford and have just finished reading Azincourt. I just wanted to say firstly, how much I have enjoyed all of your books, particularly those set in the medieval period. My father and I have been massive fans of yours for a number of years, and I look forward to catching up on Sharpe’s Peril when I get home! I also had a question for you on a slightly different note. I am starting my thesis next term on chivalry during the Hundred Year’s War and was particularly taken with your account of Soissons. I was just wondering which books (other than Curry and Barker which I have) you read for research as I would be interested to find out more about Soissons. Many thanks and best wishes Isabel Langdon
