Nice work @Dumelow:. Length good. I went to look at reference 4 to check the approx. age at marriage which seemed the most hooky factoid. I could not get to see the whole book but I searched for "Maud" and one extract said she was "about ten" when she married. Can you resolve this? Victuallers (talk) 22:36, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Victuallers, thanks for finding that. I hadn't previously spotted Maud was on p306 of Lawne, only on p278. I can only see Fisher (which appeared to give a 1359 birth date) in snippet view, so have preferred the date of c.1354 used by Lawne (who also has a later publication date). Article and hooks now updated to reflect this - Dumelow (talk) 08:01, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
Thought I'd ticked this already. Its fine G2G Victuallers (talk) 19:12, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
