Dear Bernard You have written about the Saxon invasions and now the Viking invasions but I wondered if you will ever write about the Battles of Stamford Bridge and Hastings. You are Britain’s top historical writer and it could be argued those two battles are the most important in our history. And some previous posters have mentioned the English civil wars I have to ask if you did would you write from the Royalist or Roundhead perspective????? And out of the 4 considered top commanders from both sides Fairfax/Cromwell/Rupert and Montrose who in your opinion was best of the bunch????? BTW I have just read and can really recommend Prince Rupert the Last Cavalier by Charles Spencer it really is very good and might tempt you even more to write about that period. All the best Tony
