Before you mention any animal in a historical novel, make sure that:
- the animal existed at that time and in that place
- the animal was used in the way you have described
You should know which animals were hunted and which animals helped with hunting. Were animals kept as pets?
This article provides useful information about wild animals in Britain during the Early Medieval period.
This post concludes my series about writing historical fiction. I hope you’ve enjoyed the posts. I will be back in a few days with a summary of what I’ve learned from it.

I wish I could have visited more blogs, but I enjoyed yours. Thank you for visiting. 🙂
It sounds so obvious, but I would never have thought about animals!
Congrats on a great month, Miriam 🙂

Congratulations on thirty wonderful vignettes, all short and poignant.
Well done on completing this marathon blogging event. I know where I can come when I have issues with historical fiction writing. It is a genre that I would like to dip my pen into at some point.
I think you’re better equipped to do that than I am, Ros!
Wel done this blogging event thank you so much for your kind information. I am really appreciate.
