Talk:Robert of St. Albans

Untitled
Scythian, the quality of the sources here vary wildly. The first one is fine; Robert was a real Templar, that's okay. The others are not good. (Almost anything written about the Templars is junk...) I doubt he really married a relative of Saladin, but since that is mentioned by a medieval source, and it is in The Experience of Crusading, I guess it is okay. I'm not sure we really need an article about him at all though, since there isn't anything else that can be said. Adam Bishop (talk) 16:36, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Adam, I am extremely puzzled by your comments. You first deny the incident with "I think not."  Then despite that this is mentioned in five non-Muslim sources, you question the "quality" of the sources.  You also claim that "we" don't really need an article on him but then note that "it is okay." Hmm. Scythian1 (talk) 16:49, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * What sources? It is only in Roger of Hoveden. The other sources you gave are unreliable, except The Experience of Crusading. That one is okay, but is that enough to make an article? Adam Bishop (talk) 17:11, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Even assuming that its unreliable, that one is enough, yes. I have also changed granddaughter to niece in accordance with what you deem as a reliable source. Scythian1 (talk) 17:52, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
