They say that 95% fo the research you do for a book will never make it to the page, and here's a good example. I mentioned Warwick Castle earlier as a great stop if you're ever in the area, but I should also mention that I wrote an entire chapter of Waleran's life in Warwick Castle while I was there. Sadly that chapter got cut eventually, as does a lot of Waleran's history ... for now.
