An Entertaining Story
I found this story while doing research on lantern shields. It may or may not be a factually accurate account of a duel involving Sir Kenelm Digby. I was wondering if it should be added as a interesting tidbit under his history section as I didn't see any mention of it. I'm not a regular editor so I didn't feel comfortable making alterations to the main page unannounced.

Relationship of Kenelm to John
This article states that Kenelm Digby (1603–1665) is the nephew of John Digby, 1st Earl of Bristol (1580–1653). It seems the only source for this information is a work of fiction, A Stain In The Blood. According to a geneology website, Kenelm Digby and John Digby appear to be fourth cousins, with their most recent common patrilineal ancestor being Everard Digby, Lord of Tilton, etc. (1440–1510). I did not check maternal lines, other than to confirm the alleged relationship (uncle-nephew) is unsupported. – Smallus Editus (talk) 19:44, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Catholicism and Civil War
I recently elaborated on parts of this section out of interest. Some of this information was recently elaborated on in external sources so I thought it would be best to put them in here. If anyone else is interested enough, maybe more could be added? SaltineCreature (talk) 23:42, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
