Yes, the entire series is back and rewritten. The later chapters will change a lot, they will be cleaned up, the excessive use of exclamation marks will be tamed, the grammar improved, the non-dialogue material will be substantially expanded, and then I will throw most of it away and rewrite it from scratch.

I am actually changing certain areas of the plot, altering their dialogue in places, adding plenty of new material, and bringing the whole thing back to earth. You can see a few of these changes already appearing; the queen is now stated to have died of natural causes, and William decided not to remarry; before she was murdered because he wanted an Aragonese princess to forge an alliance. I am cleaning up the worst of the plot holes, removing the most unbelievable things, swapping some things for others (easy example: that medieval marriage law about unmarried couples alone under one roof gets swapped for another medieval marriage law dealing with a promise and sex, far easier to explain in the story and better documented in history books), and adding in real place names, so instead of 'the manor' you now have 'Woburn manor'.

Same story; very different spin indeed.

Tomorrow’s literary ambitions: write the next chapter of Eleanor, catch up on my reading in the mead hall (it’s been about a week since I looked at anything not started by me), finalise some names on my new map of the Isles, rename the last few Red Hand characters in need of name changes, rest tired typing fingers.
