I watched King & Conqueror on the BBC and thought, as the critics suggest, it may be historically inaccurate, but entertaining. If you are interested in something more well-researched, you could try MJ Porter's books on the Earl of Mercia. #booksky #historicalfiction www.amazon.co.uk/Earl-Mercias...

Any recommendations for books on King Arthur that I might have missed? I really love The Once and Future King.

There are two series you could look at - Giles Kristian's (which I've read) and Peter Gibbons (which I haven't), but I know both authors, so they should be good. I've also written a Dark Age Series. It is specifically NOT about Arthur but about what might have come after:) Hope that helps.

Cool! I’ve not read either of those or any of your work. I’ll make a trip to the library this week and then I’ll start my Christmas wish list. Thank you so much for the reply and have a great day!
