Initial comments
I'll comment on the content once the English is attended to. At a first glance I spotted 24 spelling mistakes: As a rule I correct the odd typo when I'm reviewing, but this is wholesale stuff, and needs attention. There may be other misspellings I have not spotted in my first perusal, so please check the text carefully.  Tim riley  talk    16:37, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Thanks for this. I've addressed the typos and other tweaks (hopefully caught them all), but am on a mobile device with a wildly changeable internet service, so any major work might have to wait until I'm back at a desk, if that's ok?

 * Pinging whose name I disgracefully spelt wrongly even whilst claiming to have caught all the typos! &mdash;  fortuna  velut luna  04:01, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * As I said on your talk page, I'm happy to wait till you're back from your holiday. I haven't put a pending tag on this page, and there's no particular deadline.  Tim riley  talk    17:13, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello Tim, am back as of now. Hope all's well! &mdash; fortuna  velut luna  12:53, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

Good hols, I hope. Very few substantive points to raise. Not much to cause alarm and despondency there. If you attend to these minor points we can proceed to the ribbon-cutting ceremony,  Tim riley  talk    20:00, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * There are some single quotes that should be double to conform with the Wikipedia manual of style.
 * There is inconsistent capitalisation of dukedoms and earldoms - "earl of Norfolk to Duke of Norfolk" in the lead and many similar inconsistencies in the main text - earl of Arundel, Earl of Cambridge, earl of Worcester etc. The MoS ruling as I understand it is that it's the Duke of Placename, but dukes of Placename and when unplacenamed just the duke or dukes. Ditto for other peers.
 * Your ulc policy has gone berserk in the subheadings: "With the duke of Gloucester" and "Under henry VI".
 * In the Character section the mention of M's "most recent biographer" calls out for her name to be added inline.
 * HOPE in citation one should be in ulc.
 * Thanks, I will attend to them 'on the morrow'- but, quickly- "ulc policy"? Can you remnd me...? Cheers, &mdash; fortuna  velut luna  20:05, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Ah- something to do with upper / lower case? &mdash; fortuna  velut luna  20:07, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The manual of style bids us change words in ALL CAPITALS to upper and lower case (ulc). TIME Magazine comes up a lot, and some of its devotees bridle at demoting the caps to ulc.  Tim riley  talk    20:15, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I think that I have addressed your points ... The only question being as to whether to your satisfaction! Thanks for doing this, &mdash; fortuna  velut luna  08:55, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Splendid. No difficulty with this review...
