It’s half term and I’ve been travelling… and editing Henry V… but it’s still May. So hit me, if you please, with your questions for this month’s Q&A.
Anything goes. (Mostly.) Line your queries up in the comments below. I’ll answer them in a video post.
Usual deal: paid subs can post questions; everyone gets the answers.
Over to you!

Hi Dan
Tournament of Kings across the medieval world- assuming they are at their peak
Who are your semi finalists/winners and who wouldn’t make it through the qualifiers?
My picks:- Hardrada/Ed 1 and 4/ Lionheart - with Ed 4 winning a particularly bloody final against Hardrada
Wooden spoon to John/Richard 2 in a turgid affair marred by underhand tactics
Hi Dan
With DDay anniversary coming up and the terrible weather the invasion forces had crossing the channel , it got me wondering how invasions were planned in fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Did they look at the weather in the morning and take pot luck before launching, or did they have special medieval weather soothsayers? Did you give special thought to it when writing Essex Dogs?
