======Reason for pardon and arrest? ======[edit]

"On 30 September 1460, two months after his father's execution, Browne was granted a pardon by the Yorkists, and in 1470 was arrested with George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Clarence, and Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick." What was he pardoned from, and what did he do to get arrested? [Macossay 26 Sept 2013 8:07CST] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.137.134.50 (talk) 13:07, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Citation Need - Parliamentary Seats[edit]

A direct citation for the parliamentary seats for which he was MP would be appreciated. His name had not yet appeared, when I first read this article, on articles on the seats concerned. I have added his name in some of the constituency articles where the table is obviously incomplete but it would be good if I could attach a citation for them. The citation given at the end of the paragraph as a whole does not give access to the source online.Cloptonson (talk) 16:10, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Execution[edit]

I have amended one category to reflect that he was executed under the Yorkists (in this case Richard III),not the Lancastrians (who had lost power well before 1483). Dunarc (talk) 21:00, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
