Dear Mr. Cornwell: Let me just say that I absolutely love your “Warlord Chronicles.” I am now reading them for the third time, and they are as great a pleasure this time around as they were the first two. With that in mind, I do have a question about the city of Ynys Trebes. I have always felt a peculiar fascination for the Mt. St. Michel, and so I was wondering exactly where you got the inspiration/information about the Armorican origins of the Isle. I have searched everywhere and have so far only discovered that it was an Armorican stronghold that was ransacked by the Franks (courtesy of the Wikipedia.) Thus, I have always been curious about how you chose to make this particular isle the capital of Ban’s kingdom of Benoic. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I truly appreciate it. Again, let me say that I have always been deeply and profoundly moved by “The Warlord Chronicles.” Devotedly yours, Thomas J. West III
