 * Symbol voting keep.svg Article is brand new, long enough at 2.8K of text, and there are no obvious copyright violations. The hook is cited to Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and Merriam Webster's Encyclopedia of Literature. I think the "d. c. 1138" can probably be left out of the hook, but otherwise it's a good concise effort to bring several juxtaposing facts together. Off-topic, I must go for a drive up the Wye Valley near Tintern again, it's a nice place. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  11:37, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
