The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that the military efforts of the medieval English nobleman Gilbert de Lacy at Ludlow later became the basis of the medieval romanceFouke le Fitz Waryn?
"as they were held of the Bishop of Bayeux.": I always assumed it was "held from" but I may be wrong. As I mentioned in the other review, maybe explain this a little more for the general reader.
"Although de Lacy recovered some of his father's lands, the border lands near Wales were not recovered": How were some of the lands recovered? (The given source (ref 4) does not say that any were, but the following refs obviously support this) Why was he unsuccessful?
"During the later 1140s, de Lacy was able to recover many of his father's Welsh marcher lands": How? It is vaguely implied that he took them through fighting, but who was he fighting?
This is one of those very very confused episodes in English history and we're totally unclear on when/where/exactly how it happened. Ealdgyth - Talk12:41, 8 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
No problem, I'm aware that these things tend to be a little obscure. As I said on the other review, no real worries on of/from. I think either works, but I was always taught the opposite, that "from" was better. But no matter! Passing now. Sarastro1 (talk) 13:11, 8 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
