Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on March 10, 2012.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that after his death, caused by the Battle of Burton Bridge (site pictured) on 10 March 1322, Roger d'Amory's corpse was "executed" by King Edward II?

MILHIST assessment

[edit]

Nice piece of work - I had been compiling information on this for a short article but this is much better than I could have achieved. I think you could be a bit fuller on the battle. There is evidence that other bridges were broken in the area, for example, to impede the royal army[1]. Good picture of the bridge but maybe a description ?(it's covered in the VCH). Classed as C but with a little more on the battle, could easily be B.Monstrelet (talk) 09:53, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look at the article. I was hoping to find more detail for the actual battle section (as it is a bit sparse at the moment) but couldn't find anything in a reliable enough source. I will have another look and see if I can get a description of the bridge in there as well. Cheers - Dumelow (talk) 12:35, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Roger d'Amory

[edit]

Could the Roger d'Amory article be updated to include his posthumous execution mentioned in this article? It currently states (or at least implies) that he was captured alive. -M.Nelson (talk) 02:25, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be glad to take this review. In the next few days, I'll do a close readthrough, noting here any issues I can't immediately fix myself, and then follow with the criteria checklist. Thanks in advance for your work on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 21:24, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Checklist

[edit]

This article is excellently written and sourced; I see no significant problems on my first pass. Very fine work--thanks for all the effort you put into it.

I made some very minor copyedits as I went that I'd invite you to double-check. The most persistent issue I noticed is that "the king" and "the earl" were sometimes capitalized and sometimes not. It's my understanding that "king" should generally only be capitalized when preceding a name or in a specific legal term, and I've corrected accordingly, but feel free to revert me if I'm wrong. In either case, though, this usage should be made consistent in the article. -- Khazar2 (talk) 04:05, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
