Talk:Andrew Dudley

Assessment comments
Article appears well cited, and reasonably well written and structured. However it fails MilHist B-Class criterion 2 (coverage) as it seems to lack a satisfactory introduction and conclusion to the subject's life and career. It also fails criterion 5 (supporting materials) as it lacks at least an infobox. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 00:01, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Bachelor? Married?
Unoquha, thanks for creating this article! Andrew Dudley is described as a bachelor by most authors, although this can't be quite correct, as in 1539 his brother sold him and his wife some lands. So, maybe he was a widower by 1553, when de Scheyfye reported his expected betrothal. There seem to be some material traces to this, so there is more to it than the ambassador's other fanciful (divorce) rumours of that summer. Now we have the problem of what Andrew said at his trial, could you perhaps check again if it was really he who asked that his wife and children be spared, or perhaps rather Northumberland, of whom this is known from other sources? Thank you so much. Buchraeumer (talk) 17:09, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

(Interested in Broughty, mostly) CSP Spain, vol. 11, 185, 4 ambassadors to Emperor 27 August 1553, (French translated). No doubt that Scheyfve & co. are talking about Andrew Dudley. However the wife and kids bit attachs plausibly to Arthur Sturton co-keeper of the wardrobe, so I'll change it. (ie. Dudley said, "there was a man; [Sturton]... pity might be shown to his family").Unoquha (talk) 17:23, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
