I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:02, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

• One DAB to mastic. No problems with external links or images.
• when he saw the locals welcoming them, and he was soon forced to surrender an extra "and", I think.
• Need pub location for Setton, fix capitalization in title of Hazard
• Do we know when and where Martino was born?

Thanks for the review! I've fixed the issues raised, but unfortunately, there is no indication as to when Martino was born. Obviously this was before 1300, but I have found no source to mention even an approximate date. Anything else? Cheers, Constantine ✍ 17:48, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Didn't really expect that we'd know birthplace and date as that info seems to be very scarce in general during this period. Philadelphia is in Pennsylvania and Hazard is used twice; see the Luttrell article.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:54, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Oops, sorry about the oversight with the sources, fixed now. On the dates, the Frankish period of Greece is indeed very under-documented. For instance, from the rich and vibrant feudal society of the 13th-entury Principality of Achaea, whose chivalry was said to rival that of France itself, all we have is the Chronicle of the Morea, isolated charters and legal documents, and some sparse references in Byzantine and Italian history books. Martino Zaccaria is sadly one of the few people about whom we know even that much... Constantine ✍ 19:15, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

I figured as much, but thought I'd ask.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:27, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
