Inaccurate or confused/mistaken number
The article says "Falkes had left the castle, along with around eighty men, in charge of his brother". This definitely wrong and apparently misplace. According to accounts, 80 men were hanged which is obviously the source for the number. The same number seems to be cited on the net as also being the number the brother entered the castle with. The real number should be quite higher: The men to be sent on the crusade; those that died when the gate house was taken and the weeks long skirmishes afterwards within the outer bailey; the breach of the inner bailey wall etc. At the very least the 80 number should be moved to the hanging statement.
