Linda asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Is the massacre of the Wealdings at Holytree by Audar’s forces based on the Blood court of Verden?

Lois McMaster Bujold Yep, if we're both remembering the name right. Much about that period of Wealdean and Darthacan fictional history jumps off from Charlemagne versus the Saxons. (Itself an extension of the earlier conflict between Romans and Teutons.)

Carro

Carro asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

In Curse of Chalion you have scenes of crossing a mountain pass and Penric likewise crosses a pass. You make it all very vivid and immediate. I've never been up in such a place and was wondering what experience and research you'd based this on? (This question was prompted by watching a documentary on a team of scientists looking for Hanibal's route across the alps - and seeing mountain passes.)
