Talk:Barrau de Sescas

"First admiral"
seems mistaken or needs additional caveats to be correct. Other men like William de Leybourne were certainly called admiral in Latin and French (slightly) before 1295. No one was called admiral in the English language (as far as most sources know) for another century or so. This guy doesn't seem to be the first specifically commissioned as an admiral either, per the sources that give that to Gervase Alard a little later.

There was a source for the DYKN from Cambridge University Press so it's valid for what it was... it just seems like there's some additional missing details here for what this guy was first at, if anything. — Llywelyn II   04:46, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
