Your Questions

What is the name of the brave group of men who were the first to enter (or attempt to enter) the breach in a fortress wall? (Your answer will resolve a wager, which I'm willing to share!) :-)

Hi Mr Cornwell! I´m a Historical European Martial Artist and I am very impressed with the way you describe the fighting in your Dark Age and Medieval novels. Is this something you researched or is mostly from your imagination? It is ofte spot on! //Martin

On The Book Show in the UK, you recommended a book to read before the age of 21. I failed to make a note of this, and it has not appeared on their site. Could you oblige please?

Will you be writing anymore books in the Sharpe series ?

Hello Mr C Who would win in a one on one fight between Uhtred and Derfel?

Hello again, Mr. Cornwell. You have said more than once that at some time in the future you'd like to put Sharpe at the siege of San Sebastian. As I am sure you're aware, this would involve your changing Sharpe s Regiment to accommodate a much shorter timeline. Whereas now, Regiment covers June to November 1813, putting Sharpe at the siege would reduce this to October to November. Do you think Regiment would still be plausible with such a reduced timeline? (Also remember, you ll have to change Chapter 17 of Sharpe s Siege, where Frederickson is talking about what it was like at San Sebastian and Sharpe says he wasn't there). Alan Kempner

Hello Bernard, I was wondering have you ever thought about putting your books into a movie or maybe a video game? I ask this question because my cousin and I love your Grail Quest series, Warlord Chronicles and Saxon Tales. To see them on big screen or in a game would be awesome. Just thought to see if you ever thought about it sir. Thanks and live long and keep writing.

Mr. Cornwell, I am a great admirer of your work and thank you for the many hours of enjoyment they have provided me. I have just finished The Fort. Though I'm a serious history junkie, I knew nothing of this fiasco. It certainly isn't something they teach in US schools. Without coming out and stating it, you seem to give credence to the local stories that Paul Revere made off with the militia’s money. Given the lack of proof and sensitivities over the issue, I can understand why you would present the known facts and let Revere’s actions speak for themselves. I do wonder, though, whether in your extensive research you investigated Revere’s later finances and if that research led you to a personal conclusion on the matter. Thank you and regards - James Pease Milwaukee, WI

Hello again Mr Cornwell I have just picked up Azincourt again after finishing "The Fort" and although its the second time around Im really enjoying it. I have just finished the chapter where Dafydd ap Traharn has spoken to Hook about Owain Glyn Dwr which really got me thinking how I'd love to read a book about Glyn Dwr & his uprising a book written by yourself if possible...!!!! Is there any chance of you possibly writing anything about Glyn Dwr in the future as his life & mysterious ending has the makings for a superb book....?? Thankyou again for your books & very much looking forward to the latest Uhtred offering... Lee Davies

Dear Bernard First let me wish you a happy new year. Second in the historical note in Azincourt you mention a lot of the famous British/French battles down the ages I wondered if you have or could ever be tempted to write a 1 off book on the battle of Fontenoy 1745. Its obviously quite famous in France but rather unknown in the UK yet Napoleon himself would declare that it kept the Ancien Regime alive for another 30 years.

Finally as the Hundred years war still has a way to go after Agincourt will you ever write a sequel to Azincourt and have Nick go up against Joan of Arc? Yours sincerely Geraint
