thread_title:  secretaries under multiple presidents 

message: The Vice Presidency was NOT considered a "cabinet level" position until the F. Roosevelt administration. VPs did NOT attend cabinet meetings. Wilson let Thomas Marshall preside over a few while he was in Europe during 1918-19, and Harding invited Coolidge to attend, but Dawes refused to attend, starting a feud with President Coolidge, and while I'm not sure when Garner started attending, the first VP to be an "official" cabinet member was Alben Barkley. So I deleted all vice presidents prior to Coolidge.Ericl (talk) 16:49, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edits 

message: I wonder if it would be possible to mention William clericus, who seems to be Conan's son. He is mentioned by Judith Everard in her book Brittany and the Angevins. Here's an excerpt:
"Conan and Margaret had been married for nearly six years, yet apparently had produced only one child. The chronicles unanimously recite that Constance was Conan's only daughter (`unica filia'). But Constance was not the heiress in 1166; her father was still alive, and contemporaries could not have been certain that Conan and Margaret would not produce a son in the future, assuming they were permitted to continue to cohabit. Margaret, at least, was capable of childbearing after 1166, since she gave birth to a son in her second marriage. In fact, there may have been sons of her marriage to Conan. A charter of Margaret's includes a prayer for the souls of Conan and of `our boys', possibly `our children' (puerorum nostrorum). (...) One can only assume that these did not survive infancy and were not alive in 1166, but who was William clericus, described in two charters of c. 1200 as the brother of Duchess Constance? (...) Although the obvious conclusion is that he was an illegitimate son of Duke Conan, William would have been an appropriate name for a son of Margaret, celebrating her royal kin. Whether or not any legitimate son was born or survived after 1166, the effect of the agreement of 1166 was to disinherit him, although possibly Conan retained the barony of Tréguier for this purpose. In short, it suited Henry II's purposes that Conan IV should be succeeded by a sole heiress, and this was arranged without waiting for Conan's actual death."
The charters Everard mentions are not very explicit: they only mention William clericus and state that he is the Countess' (Constance) brother. Maybe we might add him as one of Conan's descendants? Aziliz Breizh (talk) 17:43, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

A brilliant spot of light, it signaled the first day of the new year […]". That is a garbled description. The Egyptian new year was signaled by the heliacal rising of Sirius, that is to say the day when Sirius rises at the same time as the Sun (and thus becomes visible again because it moves into the night sky). Sirius was not "below the horizon" before the heliacal rising: it was invisible because it was in the day sky. Urhixidur (talk) 14:55, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Ralph Stafford, 1st Earl of Stafford

message: I would like to point out that whomever searched Burke's Peerage for his children with Margaret incorrectly identified his children and got the information from the wrong page! You will find the correct information on page 488, NOT 491! Also would like to point out here that there is no listed Katherine Stafford, grandmother of John Sutton V, as the child of Stafford and Margaret. See pg 488. 
* Ralph who m Maud daughter of Henry Earl of Derby but died in the life time of his father. 
* Hugh his successor. 
* Beatrice m first Maurice son and heir of Maurice Fitz Thomas Earl of Desmond secondly Thomas Lord Ros of Hamelake and thirdly Sir Richard Burley Knt. 
* Joane m to John, son and heir of John Cherlton, Lord Powis. 
* Elisabeth m to Fulke, son of Roger le Strange of Whitchurch in the county of Salop. 
* Margaret m to Sir John Stafford Knt.
John Sutton's grandmother is listed as Elizabeth, daughter of Edward, Lord Stafford on pg 504. And yet again we have a discrepancy as Croft's Peerage does not show a Katherine/Elizabeth who married John Sutton. But then you have Magna Carta Ancestry putting Katherine as the child of Stafford and Audley. The same is in Plantagenet Ancestry on page 33. Little help would be nice.

Membrane 44. Pleas at Montgomery before Walter de Hopton and his Fellows, A Fortnight from St. Hilary, 10 Edward I
William, son of William Devereux, claims against Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, Marshal of England, half of one knight’s fee in Runston and the vill of St. Petr in Netherwent as his right, whereof he says William Devereux, his father, was seised in the time of King Henry III. From William the right descended to William who now claims, as son and heir. And into which as the Earl did not have entry, except by the disseisin, which Roger Bigod, his uncle, did therein to William Devereux, the father of William who now claims. And he asks that inquiry be made thereon. And on this comes the Earl’s bailiff and asks for his lord’s court, because the tenement claimed is within his lord’s liberty of Netherwent. Therefore a day is given them here in a fortnight from Easter to do. Etc.

Talk:John Egerton, 2nd Earl of Bridgewater

message: John Egerton, 2nd Earl of Bridgewater PC (30 May 1623 – 26 October 1686) was an English nobleman.
He was a son of John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater and his wife Lady Frances Stanley. His maternal grandparents were Ferdinando Stanley, 5th Earl of Derby and his wife Alice Spencer.
This information is incorrect! The second Earl wasn't the grandson of either Ferdinando or Alice Stanley. He was only related by marriage when his grandfather Sir Thomas Egerton (1540 - 1617) took as his third wife the widow Alice Stanley in Oct 1600.
The second Earl's maternal grandmother was Lady Elizabeth Egerton (nee Ravenscroft) who died in 1588 and is buried alongside Sir Thomas (Lord Ellesmere) and his eldest son, also Sir Thomas, who died in 1599 at the age of 25. The final resting place being St Mary's Church, Dodleston, near Chester.
Sir Thomas and Alice Stanley never had issue.Bernard Dennis MBE (talk) 16:23, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: But Elizabeth Egerton (née Ravenscroft) was his paternal grandmother (the first wife of his paternal grandfather, Thomas Egerton, 1st Viscount Brackley). According to Cracroft's Peerage, Lord Brackley married, as his third wife, Alice, Countess of Derby (née Alice Spencer), the widow of the 5th Earl of Derby; and his second son, John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater, married Lady Frances Stanley, who was the 5th Earl of Derby's second daughter by the aforementioned Alice (and therefore Lord Bridgewater's stepsister). Do you have a source which says that this is incorrect? Proteus (Talk) 11:57, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't at all look on the ODNB as infallible, but what it says is "Egerton, John, second earl of Bridgewater (1623–1686), politician, was born in June 1623, the third but eldest surviving son of John Egerton, first earl of Bridgewater (1579–1649), politician, and his wife, Frances (1583–1636), second daughter and coheir of Ferdinando Stanley, earl of Derby, and his wife, Alice Spencer."

He was married to Amice fitz William, who was co-heiress with her sisters to the Gloucester estates, but according to the Feudal barony of Gloucester article, the title was escheated to the crown until 1189 when it was granted to Prince John as husband of Isabella, another of the sisters.

Talk:Thomas Percy, 7th Earl of Northumberland

message: Currently the succession box on this page for the Earl of Northumberland has in the preceding "new creation". I do not think that this is a) technically correct b) fits in with the rest of the article. As the title of the article notes, Thomas Percy is generally refered to as the 7th Earl of Northumberland. This number specifically relates to the creation of 1377 (ignoring earlier Saxon earls for instance and the 1464 creation for John Neville). This reflects the fact that the title was not seen as a new creation, but that Thomas Percy was awarded the title as a direct decedent and heir general of Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland. While it is true there was a considerable gap between the death of his uncle Henry Percy, 6th Earl of Northumberland and his becoming Earl himself this was not unparalleled and his Uncle's article's succession box lists Thomas as his successor as Earl of Northumberland. Indeed the Earl of Northumberland article lists both as succeeding and does not even class this as a recreation of the title, grouping both in the section Earls of Northumberland (1416, cont.). Thus I think the succession box should be modified even if it is to say - "Vacant (Last held by Henry Percy)". Dunarc (talk) 18:34, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
