Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on October 31, 2008.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the Dictum of Kenilworth agreed on Halloween 1266 created a reconciliation between the Barons and Henry III of England?

Edward's title

[edit]

Is it correct to talk of "Prince Edward" at this time? Contemporary records refer to him as "the lord Edward", and the title "prince" was not used for the son(s) of the king of England until the 14th century.

Earl of Gloucester occupied London?

[edit]

Is it quite right to say (under the heading "Aftermath") that the Earl of Gloucester occupied London and set him self up as champion of the disinherited? I though that Sir Nicholas de Segrave and Sir John Deiville (established champions of the disinherited) seized the place with the connivance of the lord mayor, and that Gloucester joined them afterwards.

Members of the Commission

[edit]

I have found a mistake in references to Gilbert de Clare 6th Earl of Hertford. He had a son of the same name who died young without issue. Some references are to the son rather than the father. This appears to be the case in reference 12. There is no mention on the target page of Gilbert de Clare's membership of this commission. I am not an expert on this subject but it does seem to me that this needs to be checked by someone who is. Bill Oversixty (talk) 09:49, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
