Talk:Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford

Perhaps the article could do with a bit of a re-write in regard to affairs in Scotland/ it is a bit more than 'English nationalist' in places. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.43.68.78 (talk) 13:51, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Dagworth Peerage
I was considering writing a stub on Thomas Dagworth. I see that you call him Lord Dagworth here, but in Jonathan Sumption's HYW books he's never called anything else than Sir right unto his death, so I'm a bit confused. Fornadan (t) 04:47, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Some (anonymous) comments in the article body which I've clipped and moved here:

For an outstanding examination of the de Bohun family background, there is no better authority than Le Melletier, see below. It was privately printed and the book contains no copyright information and no address for the printer. Portions of it have been reprinted on the Internet in French, but a partial English translation formerly on the Web is no longer available. Researchers may wish to contact this person, who owns the book, at email address medieval_student@earthlink.net.

... none of the birth dates of these children is known, not even the year, perhaps because the Earl's family records were stolen and lost during the robbery of his storehouse in Lanthony Abbey while he was rebelling against Edward II. Beware EXACT dates appearing in the genealogies of Medieval baronial families, which are often fictions of genealogists, repeated over and over. Always corroborate them from Cokayne's Peerage or another reliable source. The latest edit removes all exact birth dates formerly listed, since they were misleading or obviously wrong.
