 * ... that as a result of the royal baccarat scandal, Edward, Prince of Wales, became the first heir to the English throne to appear involuntarily in court for 480 years?

 * Symbol possible vote.svg The 1411 date is famous from Shakespeare's work but, in what I've quickly researched, seems of doubtful historical accuracy.n 37"apocryphal" Rambo's Revenge   (talk)  07:34, 20 May 2014 (UTC)


 * No, you're confusing "appeared in court", for which there are adequate reliable sources - including the one we've used, a book written by a former Lord Chancellor - and imprisonment, which are two different thing altogether. - SchroCat (talk) 07:46, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Gotcha, in which case, it seems to be sourced adequately but I cannot access print sources or corroborate this online (but AGF struck). Couple of wording issues. When was the "British throne" established? Did Henry V not belong to an English throne rather than a British one (do we know there were no Scottish heirs in court).

 * Yep, good spot (and I have no idea about the Scottish angle), so I've tweaked to English. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 08:35, 21 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol voting keep.svg Good to go. Minor c-edit with this edit which I think reads marginally better. Let me know if you disagree. Rambo's Revenge   (talk)  14:52, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
 * No disagreement from me: that looks much better! Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 14:58, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
