Dear Mr. Cornwell, Thank you for answering my last inquiry. I have another quick question about The Warlord Chronicles. I was reading up on the “history” of each of the Knights of the Round Table and noticed a similarity between Derfel and Bedivere. Bedivere only had one hand and, so they say, threw Excalibur back to the Lady of the Lake after Arthur’s “death”. Derfel, in the end, only has one hand and throws Excalibur into the water so Nimue can’t get it. Was this done on purpose or purely coincidental? Thanks again. Regards, Elizabeth
