Talk:Edward Poynings

Poyning or Poynings?
Which is the correct spelling? The ROI named his Act "Poynings' Act 1495", and the Britannica also have his article under "Poynings". The vast majority of Google hits are also versions of this article. But can someone provide an authoritative answer, such as contemporary usage? Silverhelm 16:36, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

Poyning or Poynings?
It is absolutely and without a doubt Sir Edward Poynings. See the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography entry by Steven G. Ellis, ‘Poynings, Sir Edward (1459–1521)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 accessed 2 March 2008. As such, the law 10 Henry VII c. 9 should be, and generally is, described as Poynings' law. For examples see, R. D. Edwards and T. W. Moody, 'The history of Poynings' law, part I, 1494-1615', Irish Historical Studies, II (1940-41): 415-16 or C. I. McGrath ''The Making of the Eighteenth-Century Irish Constitution. Government, Parliament and the Revenue, 1692-1714'' (Dublin, 2000). That said, it is listed as Poynings's law in the index of David Dickson, New Foundations: Ireland 1660-1800 (Dublin, 1987), 246.Sebrofs (talk) 19:53, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Does this really belong in that wikiproject, the UK didn't even exist until 1707. Shouldn't it be in wikiproject England instead? --SeoirseIII (talk) 09:19, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
