Wainwright, Brian
Brian Wainwright has had a deep interest in the Middle Ages for most of his life. His first published novel, The Adventures of Alianore Audley, was produced by way of light relief during a lull in the long task of researching and writing Within the Fetterlock, a novel born of his obsession with Constance of York.
