As a history instructor I found the All Souls Trilogy to be captivating. The historical people and events that are interweaved in the story are magnificent. I found myself looking up people and events I was unsure of. How did you go about choosing who and what from history to include in your novels?
Deborah Harkness
great question! I look for mysterious characters--characters from the past that historians have lots of questions about for which the historical record doesn't provide answers. Then I make up the answers! :)

In SoN's tilt yard scene, Louisa tells Hancock that Diana will bring down the de Clermonts, fulfilling Gerbert's ancient prophecy to Ysabeau. "Beware the witch with the blood of the lion and the wolf, for with it she shall destroy the children of the night." This is never mentioned again. I understand the first part, but what is the significance/intent of "...she shall destroy the children of the night?"
