Talk:John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland

Name
Err...shouldn't this be at "John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland"? The man was known by various titles over the course of his life - Viscount Lisle, Earl of Warwick, Duke of Northumberland. Presumably, the highest should be the one in the article title. john 06:33, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)


 * The supposed system actually is to use the title someone is best known by. There are currently a number of entries (mostly for more modern politicans who became peers after their political retirement) which illustrate this. However, in this case, I think Dudley is better known as Duke of Northumberland, and I've actually contemplated moving it myself. Loren Rosen 06:44, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)


 * Yes, if somebody is very clearly best known by one title, that title should be used. Thus, I put John Carteret, Earl Granville, in as John Carteret, 2nd Lord Carteret, his title for the most important part of his political career.  Or Benjamin Disraeli as that, rather than Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield.  However, when it's unclear what title is the most commonly used, the default should be to use the highest.  Shall we move it, then? john 06:47, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)


 * why is there no mention of the false charges, biased juries, and evil intentions of those responsible for killing all these lords and ladies? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.190.34.142 (talk) 08:50, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

"He was soon to gain prominence in the tournaments of the royal court and as a protégé of Thomas Cardinal Wolsey, and so joined the group whose task it was to amuse the king. In 1527, and again in 1532, he accompanied Wolsey to France."

Wolsey died in 1530. Does this refer to an earlier trip or was Dudley present when Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn travelled to France in 1532?86.47.42.32 (talk) 14:42, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Error corrected. I will attempt to dig up some references on this. Welham66 (talk) 08:05, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
