:::::Sorry, but you're wrong again on both counts.  Prescott's statement is one of several views, not the only view.  Secondly, Jasper Ridley had about a 60-year career as a writer, so he was no hack, and wrote quite a few history books.  As I said before, you have a preconceived notion of what the article should say, and you discount whatever doesn't fit your view.  This thread has gone on for a month, and I am getting rather tired of going around in circles with you, so let's leave it at this:  per the consensus, whatever it is that you want changed is not going to be changed.  If you continue to change it unilaterally, you will likely be blocked for editing against consensus.
