Talk:Elizabeth de Montfort, Baroness Montagu

Provisional deletion of unsourced material
I've provisionally deleted this statement from the article:

"This seems surprising, considering that Elizabeth’s grandfather, Peter de Montfort, had kidnapped the young Prince Edward during the Barons' Revolt of 1258–1265. Peter de Montfort (regarded by some as the first Speaker of the House of Commons) then died fighting against Prince Edward at the Battle of Evesham in 1265."

The material is unsourced, and doesn't appear to be supported by RS. From the ODNB article on Edward I:

"Battle [at Lewes] was joined on 14 May 1264. Edward, in command of the cavalry on the right, charged the Londoners to great effect, routing them. Unfortunately he did not control his troops effectively, and by the time he had regrouped them after a lengthy pursuit, the main battle was lost. Following negotiations during the night Edward and his cousin Henry of Almain gave themselves up as hostages, not to be released until a final settlement was achieved. Edward's imprisonment lasted until March 1265."

This doesn't appear to square with the unsourced statement above re 'kidnapping'. NinaGreen (talk) 19:00, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
