Error

[edit]

Can't be the third and youngest illegitimate son of a man who had at least four (and more) illegitimate sons. If there are four and he's the youngest, he can't be third, he must be fourth. If there are four and he is third, he can't be the youngest (the fourth would be youngest). Please square this up. What would be more important would be to, as a matter of policy, vet stuff like this against your other articles and resolve inconsistencies BEFORE you publish. I am really quite convinced that such checks are NOT standard operating procedure at Wikipedia. Standard procedure seems to be publishing and then discovering disagreements vs. other articles only when someone like me complains on the talk pages, unable to make a correction for lack of knowing which of two irreconcilable Wikipedia articles is wrong.2604:2000:C682:2D00:4983:DD1:23A9:990 (talk) 06:47, 7 December 2018 (UTC)Christopher L.

There is another error, as in the article, it says that he was the fifth of Charles's eight illegitimate sons. But it also says that he is the 3rd illegitimate son of Charles II. Both statements can't be true. Also Barbara Villiers his mother had 5 sons with King Charles II.
