ⓘ About Robert Brightwell

Robert Brightwell is a well-established author who also doubles up as an amateur historian. While serving as an amateur historian, Robert Brightwell many at times came across various encounters or incidences, which were extremely hard to believe. Thus, Robert Brightwell had to look for several other sources to confirm. Thomas Cochrane, the protagonist in one of Brightwell’s best performing novels, is a character, whose life adventures appear to be far-fetched even for a fictional character. Another such character is Begum of Samru, a fifteen-year-old dancer who managed to gain the confidence of an entire army. Begum of Samru not only led the army men with her courage and skills but also had a man kill himself. Eventually, Begum of Samru then went ahead to become a Catholic saint.
