Conversion rates[edit]

In the 'Loyalty to the Crown' section could a more recent 'equivalence rate' than 2005 be provided. Jackiespeel (talk) 10:24, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Concluding paragraph - a little subjective?[edit]

I am not sure that the last paragraph works. It states "William Neville is an underrated figure in the rise to power of the Yorkist regime. More successful as a military leader than the more famous Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick, his reputation is summed up in Goodman's words: "No other veteran of the Anglo-French Wars won such distinction in the Wars of the Roses"." Other than the reference to the Goodman quote (which does not have a citation to identify its origin) there is nothing to back up the dramatic claim being made about William Neville's significance. While the role and abilities of Warwick are undoubtedly up for debate, many historians still see him as successful in military terms, and as it stands this seems to be a rather subjective comment to imply he was less successful than his Uncle. I am not against discussion of William Neville's abilities and importance, but I think there needs to be more evidence and other points of view brought in, otherwise this looks a bit impartial (though I am sure that was not the intention of any editor).
