Dear Mr Cornwell,
I have read many of your books and enjoy them very much. I love writers who do their research before writing and your novels are almost always very well documented. That’s why I’m puzzled. Why is Breteuil a Navarrese place? It’s in Picardy and so far as I know, the Montmorency family that held the city never had any ties with the Southern kingdom of Navarre. Would you please enlighten me? (I’m not nitpicking, I’m genuinely curious to know what link Breteuil to Navarre) Also, thank you for setting one of your battle scenes in my hometown of Tours!
Kind regards,
Aurélie
