I actually got into English historical fiction by Jean Plaidy's Tudor novels. Then I kinda liked them for a while. Once I started reading early history, I decided I preferred York. SKP might also be responsible for that.
Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

I'm nearly finished the second book in the War of the Roses series by Conn Igguldec - Trinity. It's due out next month. It has far too many battles in it for me and it's been a bit of a slog. I'm on the side of York and so I should be coming from Yorkshire! .
