Talk:Sir Valentine Blake, 1st Baronet

Disjunction
Biography:

Although overtly about Sir Valentine obit 1635, the next paragraph is about the jollities in May at the Menlo Festival, then goes into details of a hideous fire at the castle of the Blake family, preceded by fairy music, whereupon the unfortunate survivor emigrated to America, and dictated her story in 1977.

It seems unlikely that the Maying would include sugar treats in the 17th century; so one assumes the fire happened in the late 19th/early 20th century. This is a sad story but the lack of detail and abrupt shift precludes any discussion of Sir Valentine, three centuries before...
