Talk:Richard Ingoldesby

"distaste"
The Leisler biographic entry on Wiki states: "Leisler refused to surrender the fort without an order from the king or the governor. After some controversy, Ingoldesby attacked the fort on March 17, during which Leisler's forces killed two of his soldiers and wounded several. When Governor Sloughter finally arrived in New York the following March, he immediately demanded Leisler's surrender. Leisler refused to surrender the fort until he was convinced of Sloughter's identity, and the governor had sworn in his council. As soon as the latter event occurred, he wrote the governor a letter resigning his command." This is quite different to the tale presented here. And as Leislers and his son-in-law hanging was murder by justice put in scene by his old jacobinian enemies, "distaste" is rather cynic and far from reality. In fact Leisler was rehabilitated. 2003:C2:F1C:2700:A965:2D4:2283:1D5C (talk) 15:18, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
