Hello Mr Cornwell, It’s me again. First of all I am very happy for you to have answered my questions. I continue reading some Sharpe books (the ones that are published in Portugal, Sharpe’s Havoc and eagle,and after that Sharpe’s Escape) and it’s fantastic the way you describe details and battles of Portuguese and Spanish history and how you create in that terrible, barbaric and wonderful time the Sharpe character. Gallows Thief is already published but for now I prefer to read war stories, especially of Dark and medieval ages. I have some more questions…

At the begining of The Last Kingdom, Northumbria was diveded by civil war between Aella and King Osbert, why does that war happen? That take me to another question…

One of the stories that Ivar the boneless and his brothers are popular (in a morbid way of course) is the eagle’s torture to a King, for revenge, speak me of that story, who was that King, is the story true?

I can find many information about Ivar and Halfdan, but very few about the legendary Hubba, where does you find information about him?

You have created an absolutely fantastic world in the Grail quest series,and I have some questions. Are like Jeannete of Armorique,Will Skeat,Sir Guilaumme D’Evecque,William Douglas and Lord Outhwaine real or based in real characters?

I have some curiosity about St Guinefort, the Heraldic Yale and the hellequins.

After Saxon,Sharpe and Starbuck series what will you write? Thanks, have a happy new year, Pedro Oliveira, Portugal
