Correction[edit]

I removed (In fact Henry VI granted 23 licences to crenellate but not one for Caister castle. Fastolf was one of a group of men granted a licence to crenellate Rye House, Hertfordshire. This error arises from misconception about licences to crenellate being a requirement to build castles. (Ref. Davis, P., 2007, 'English Licences to Crenellate 1199-1567' Castle Studies Group Journal Vol. 20)) this as it had been put in the lead, a bit intrusively. It may well be correct~i expect it is, but i cannot properly correctit now,becauseo f the lack of accessto my PC.Cheers, Lindsay^Hello 04:36, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have the article to hand, but the footnote certainly rings true to what I've read recently on licences to crenellate. I've changed the information into the form of a footnote for now, although I think it could go in the main body of the article. Nev1 (talk) 18:20, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Nev1. I think what you did looksgood,or even could be worked in, as you suggest,in the main body. I'dprobably try the latter,would'vedoneyesterday,but the accesi have is rotten at the moment 9in fact, i've not really contributedfora week ormore becauseof it), not to mention this keyboard which doesn'tlike me at all!
