Talk:John Clanvowe

Untitled
There is an issue with the naming of Sir Clanvowe. Some sites state he was Sir John Clanvowe, with only Britannica calling him Thomas Clanvowe. Could someone who knows about this subject please clear this up.--FruitMonkey 10:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I've revised to John Clanvowe according to my book Medieval English Literature, Thomas Garbaty, 1984, p. 620. - Ken Eckert —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keneckert (talk • contribs) 01:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

There are three links to the article - Can we stop calling it an orphan?Plucas58 (talk) 19:46, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Updates
I am planning on making some changes and additions to this Wikipedia page to provide some more information on Sir John Clanvowe, and give a wider range of more recent sources discussing the knight.

Firstly, I plan to add some additional details of Clanvowe's political career, and his roles and responsibilities serving as a chamber knight for Richard II. I will mainly use Scattergood, V.J. (1975). The Works of Sir John Clanvowe. Rowman and Littlefield, and McFarlane, K.B. (1972). Lancastrian Kings and Lollard Knights. Clarendon Press to provide most of this information. This will also include details of his military career in France and on crusade. I also feel Clanvowe's religion is an important and interesting topic which deserves more discussion, being one the seven Lollard knights mentioned by Thomas Walsingham. His work The Two Ways gives a good insight into his religious beliefs, and is a fascinating account of unorthodox religious views in the late Fourteenth Century. K.B McFarlane and Hudson discuss this source in length, with the latter's book called (1988). The Premature Reformation: Wycliffite Texts and Lollard History. Oxford University Press and will be used for its analysis. This should hopefully provide some good historiography on the Welsh/English knight, and also give him a more detailed representation on Wikipedia.--Sean1188 (talk) 08:44, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
