I recently purchased a copy of your book, de Lacy Chronicles. I found it very informative, and I loved your “timelines” which helped keep things in perspective. Thanks for all the hard work!

A Purchase of this book brought me to an author event at our local library, I enjoyed the authors talk about his journey into his family name and the bringing to print this wonderful book including a lovely insight into the historical connection the 'de lacy's' have with Pontefract Castle. A wonderfully presented book in plain English, written paragraphs sectioned for easy to read narrative in clear precise print. Beautifully narrated by the author. The author's in depth research into the 'de lacy' name is very detailed but does not overwhelm the reader with unnecessary facts. He has captured the interest of the 'de lacy descendants' as far away as America and Australia. Some having made their journey to the UK to see where their ancestors lived and died. Certainly a 'must read' for anyone with the Lacy surname to explore their possible links to the Kings, Earls and Barons of Medieval history in England particularly the very strong link to Pontefract Castle in West Yorkshire.

I am currently enjoying the 'de Lacy Chronicles' and will be buying more copies for my family. It is a fascinating book and I was intrigued by the family going back to Norway.
