Cornwell also weaves later additions such as Merlin and Lancelot into the plot. Like other interpretations of the Arthurian legends, the series postulates that post- Roman Britain was a difficult time for the native Britons, who were threatened by invasion from the Anglo-Saxons in the East and raids from the Irish in the West.
Cornwell's best known books feature the adventures of Richard Sharpe, a British soldier during the Napoleonic Wars. The first 11 books of the Sharpe series (beginning in chronological order with Sharpe's Rifles and ending with Sharpe's Waterloo, published in the US as Waterloo) detail Sharpe's adventures in various Peninsular War campaigns over the course of 6–7 years.
