Yeah, this doesn't actually have anything useful for Manasser ... interesting though. Ealdgyth (talk) 13:55, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Link Anglo-Norman, justice.
Linked. -- Ealdgyth (talk) 14:50, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
Is Cany Cany-Barville?
It appears so - linked. -- Ealdgyth (talk) 14:50, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
Pugh: for consistency, could "canons" have an upper case C?
Done. -- Ealdgyth (talk) 14:50, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
Is it worth linking "follower" to retinue? And "steward" to Steward (office)?
Linked steward - but he wasn't really in a "retinue" ... he just was a supporter of Henry II before he took the throne. -- Ealdgyth (talk) 14:52, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
"Biset's son was Henry Bisset" → 'They had a son, named Henry Bisset'.
Well, no. We can't say "They had a son" because the source says "His [Manasser] son and heir was Henry Biset" - which pretty much says we don't have a charter that definitely gives Alice as Henry's mother. I did tweak the wording a bit. Ealdgyth (talk) 14:50, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
"Besides his son, Biset also had a daughter, Margaret." → 'Besides their son, Biset and Alice also had a daughter, Margaret.'
Likewise - the source here doesn't say that Margaret was Alice's daughter, just that she was Henry's sister. -- Ealdgyth (talk) 14:50, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
Pugh & Crittall: they are given as editors. Is that of the article or the volume? In either case is hte actual author of the work known?
the page for British History Online for the work doesn't list authors ... just editors. Ealdgyth (talk) 14:50, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
That's all I have. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:17, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Hope it wasn't too much of a strain! He's not got a lot but he's a link in various bits of history - and important in his own right as a pretty influential justice. It's just the period is sparse for documentation. -- Ealdgyth (talk) 14:50, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
Ha! It was very soothing. I often feel I have problems, but you seem to be making bricks without either mud or straw.
