TFA blurb review
Any thoughts or edits? (I'm posting this one early because I'll be tied up with another project for almost a month starting on the 13th. I don't know when this will be promoted at FAC.) - Dank (push to talk) 23:52, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
 * it won't—it'll be archived in a couple of weeks. But if it was to ever need a blurb, I'd be tempted to suggest it as TFA for the nearest 10 July, being the date of his death. The fact that this was at the battle of Northampton might mean bringing it to the top of the blurb, perhaps? As it isn't mentioned in this version. But like I say, it's academic atm. ——  SerialNumber  54129  11:29, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. If there's some question, then I'd probably rather work on it after it gets promoted. - Dank (push to talk) 12:24, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Looks like this is going to get promoted. Could you add the Northampton sentence you want? I'll check the length after that. - Dank (push to talk) 15:34, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the delay; oddly enough, this did get promoted. So how about something like:Humphrey Stafford, 1st Duke of Buckingham (1402 –10 July 1460) was an English nobleman and a military commander who fought for the Lancastrian King Henry VI during the Wars of the Roses, where he was killed at the Battle of Northampton...et cetera.Or something like that; perhaps too many wikilinks divert readers from the article though? Hoping it's not presumptuous, but I went ahead and nominated it already. Hope all is well with you! ——  SerialNumber  54129  16:33, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm fine, thanks for asking. Looks good to me. - Dank (push to talk) 19:26, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Humphrey Stafford, 1st Duke of Buckingham (1402 –10 July 1460) was an English nobleman and a military commander who fought for the Lancastrian King Henry VI during the Wars of the Roses, where he was killed at the Battle of Northampton. Through his mother he had royal blood as a great-grandson of King Edward III, and from his father, he inherited the earldom of Stafford. He joined the English campaign in France with King Henry V in 1420. Following the king's death two years later, he became a councillor for the nine-month-old King Henry VI. Stafford acted as a peacemaker during the 1430s, when Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester vied with Cardinal Beaufort for political supremacy. He took part in the eventual arrest of Gloucester in 1447. He was the King's bodyguard and chief negotiator during Jack Cade's rebellion of 1450. In 1455 he fought for the King in the first battle of the Wars of the Roses, at St Albans, where they were both captured by the Yorkists. He spent the last years of his life attempting to mediate between the Yorkist and Lancastrian factions.
