message: I removed the deletion suggestion on the top of the page.  Spencer Kimball isn't just another sofwtare programmer: he's one of the creators of the Gimp, which is one of the first big GPL-ed projects with significant  features which could be used as a drop in replacement for a commercial product of the high caliber.  This is a stub, which is how things on wikipedia work.  If the editor suggesting delete thinks the details or sources are lacking, he should go and add them, not suggest that the article be deleted. --Phuff (talk) 17:11, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Charles Butler, 1st Earl of Arran

message: When was it ruled that his brother's attainder applied only to the English titles?  After Arran's death, I'd imagine? john k (talk) 22:08, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I wonder if the question is one of realisation at all. Might it have more to do with political expediancy? I could imagine the family knowing the legal situation but also knowing that the political realities would have precluded a pressing of the demand. George I, nervous of his position could easily have forced the Irish parliament to attaint the Irish titles as well had the matter been pressed. Best to let things calm down for a bit, eh? Laurel Lodged (talk) 23:03, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe, but my recollection of Complete Peerage is that everybody thought at the time that the Westminster attainder was good enough to do in all the titles.  Arran never showed any awareness that he was or might be de jure duke of Ormonde.  Looking at Earl of Ormond (Ireland) and John Butler, 17th Earl of Ormonde, it appears that the Irish titles' continuation was not recognized until 1791, when it was given to a rather distant relation - the 17th earl was descended from a brother of the first duke (Arran's father).  So that answers my question - perhaps we should add that to the article?  As to whether it was a realization, I don't know - one would probably have to look at the Irish House of Lords debates that let to the admittance of the 17th Earl. john k (talk) 00:46, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Founder of the House of Stuart? 

message: The affected passage reads:
"The uneven distribution of Walter's grants to Paisley Priory seems to have been a result of the fact that he had subinfeudated most of Strathgryfe by the time of its establishment".
'Subinfeudation' appears incorrect in this context, even if that word was used in the source. Walter was created the absolute overlord of his territories in Renfrewshire and elsewhere - where he was the in caput holder of the Lordships (syn: Baronies). Therefore, any grants he made, without any middlemen, created principal feu-holders. He therefore infeudated vassals in the lands rather than subinfeudated. Subinfeudation applies where any of the lands were given as feu grants to others by those holding them in-feu from Walter. As far as can be detected, Walter was not a Crown vassal in the lands gifted to him by the Crown. It would be in that context where grants made by him represented subinfeudation. That was not so with Renfewshire/Strathgryffe, etc. 2A00:23C8:6684:C101:EC0D:520B:BED4:7F77 (talk) 20:45, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Subinfeudation'? 

message: A few words concerning the origin of the House of Stuart might be apropos: Fleance, son of Banquo mentioned in "Macbeth," fled to England after the murder of his father, and there married Guenta, a daughter of Griffith, Prince of Wales, whose wife was Eadgyth (afterwards the wife of Harold II., King of England, "The last of the Saxons"), a daughter of Aelfgar, Earl of Mercia and son of Leofric de Blackwell and the celebrated Lady Godiva. Alan, son of Fleance (or Flaald, as he was also called), was the father of Walter Fitz-Alan, who became Lord High Steward of Scotland, from which dignity he took his family name of Steward (or Stewart). His descendant, Alexander Stewart, married the Princess Marjory Bruce, daughter of Robert I., King of Scotland, and their son succeeded his maternal grandfather as Robert II., of Scotland. From him came all the succeeding Kings of Scotland and of England.

message: The name does not originate from that marriage.  William Douglas changed his name to William Hamilton, and the family was known simply as "Hamilton" until the mid-ninteenth century.  john k (talk) 15:56, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Quite wrong, Lord Selkirk changed the surname of his family to Douglas-Hamilton upon his marriage to Anne, 3rd Duchess of Hamilton in the 17thc. He did not change his own surname as that was the same as his peerage, so Selkirk became Hamilton. Brendandh (talk) 19:06, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:David, Earl of Huntingdon

message: David of Scotland had seven children, none of them called Robert, sadly.  Keith Stringer [K. J. Stringer, Earl David of Huntingdon, 1152 - 1219: a study in Anglo-Scottish history (1985)] lists them as sons: Henry, David, John; daughters: Margaret, Isabel, Matilda (or Maud) and Ada.  Henry and David both died in infancy.  John went on to inherit both honours of Huntingdon and Chester, marrying the daughter of Prince Llywelyn of Gwynedd.  He died in 1237.  Margaret married Alan, lord of Galloway; Isabel married Robert de Brus, ancestor of Robert the Bruce, king of Scotland in the early fourteenth century; Matilda married John of Monmouth; Ada married Henry Hastings.

replies: text: Yes, that is a false friend translation. But a literal translation does not work well here. Since the French version also says he was a UDF party member, that is what I wrote. Another, a bit far-fetched interpretation would be that he was a supporter, was merely elected on their list. So far-fetched we do not need to quote a source for the obvious meaning.

Talk:Stelios Mainas

message: Let's discuss the inclusion of the "Television" table on the article and stop edit-warring over it.
Should the "Television" table be removed? Or should it be kept? And why?
Looking at the table itself, it appears to be completely unreferenced, with a very few number of wikilinks in it, which seems to be a good reason for the removal. I notice the version of the article the anonymous IP editors keep restoring still has a "Television" list, but it just contains "wikilinkable" entries only (e.g. I Men... ke I Den, Dolce Vita).
So if the table is to be kept, then it should probably have references added to it.
