Talk:James Wilde, 1st Baron Penzance

Propaganda removal

 * "A leading candidate for those who cannot accept Shakespeare as the author of the plays is now Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford, who attended Grays Inn. However, that de Vere was enrolled at Gray's Inn when he was thirteen is less meaningful than the fact that from age four to twelve, he was tutored by Sir Thomas Smith, former Regius Chair in Civil Law at Cambridge University (1542-46), Secretary of State under Edward VI (1547-49) and Queen Elizabeth (1572-76), whose personal 400-volume library contained 54 titles of law books that would have constituted an entire law library in the 16th century."

This page deals with James Wilde. A paragraph expounding the theories of Looney attached to it, and having nothing to do with the subject of the article, is a clear abuse, and a form of exploiting wiki for the purposes of promoting a fringe-view. Nishidani (talk) 18:54, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Contradictory armorial sources
Wilde's entry in Debrett's Illustrated House of Commons and the Judicial Bench 1869 gives his arms as follows - Shield: Argent a chevron Sable on a chief of the last three martlets Or. Crests: 1st an eagle displayed Or. 2nd on a chapeau Gules turned up Ermine a buck lodged Proper.

His entry in Burke's Peerage 1891 is completely different - Shield: Ermine on a cross Sable a plate a chief of the second charged with three martlets Argent. Crest: A hart lodged holding in its mouth a rose Proper. Supporters: On either side a bull reguardant Argent gorged with a collar Vair and chain reflexed over the back. Motto: Veritas Victrix
