Sandals and clothes disprove date of birth?
editIt is stated in the article that the purchase of sandals and clothing in early 1388 disproves Clarence's birth in late 1388. If the chronicler were using the Julian rather than the Gregorian calendar, then the purchase of sandlas and clothing would have been early 1389 (according to the Gregorian calendar) - ie after Clarence's birth.

Order of the Bath
editI have altered the honours section. There was no Order of the Bath until three centuries after this date. Until then, Knights of the Bath were knights created as the culmination of several days of ceremonial, including a bath. This was usually done at such occasions as coronations, royal weddings, and the investiture of the Prince of Wales. The last such event was the coronation of King Charles II. These Knights of the Bath were an Order only in the sense that priesthood is an Order: there was no membership list, there were no officers. J S Ayer (talk) 00:57, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
Link between Thomas of Lancaster and "De Langlée Family".
editIn the previous edit of this page, it was mentionned : "The noble de Langlée family of France claimed him for their ultimate ancestor.". Did someone have any information or sources about ? I've never find other sources of this fact in the web. 193.52.40.238 (talk) 12:43, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
