Ooh heck as I am 76 I have to hope I live that long (oh its only two years though isn't it?)
Ian Mortimer
It is only 2 years - and you really wouldn't want me to rush it and write a poorly researched book now, would you?

Started with your guide to the Regency, and was delighted to find that there are three more to read. Can't wait! I'm trying to do some research on gentlemen's leisure pursuits from the Regency (fox hunting, fishing, and shooting), and wonder if you might have a recommendation of a modern book written as a history of that, or sources of the time that would give more insight into how it was gone about, etc.?

I've just started reading the TTG books (fascinating beyond measure, could say a lot more, but really would need the space of a couple of volumes for synonyms), but are there any plans for post-Regency guides? Victorian, etc.... By no means to rush anything (as the last one only came out last autumn, but I am a bit curious... Thank you so much for the excellent pieces of literature!

In your biography of Edward III, you mention Edith de Willesford, the mother of Roger of Clarendon, an illegitimate son of the Black Prince. You identify her as a 'lady of Clarendon'. Might you clarify? In my research, little is known about her although a recent biography of Joan of Kent, by Anthony Goodman, states she was one of Philippa's ladies in waiting. Thank you.
