message: This article name is erroneous, It should either be at Henry Percy (1366-1403) as per WP non inclusion of Knighthood honorifics, or at Harry Hotspur. He was never referred to as Henry Hotspur Percy, or even Henry Hotspur. He was however referred to as Sir Henry Percy, Harry Hostspur, or just plain Hostspur. Such was the problem encountered with the great grandfather of Hotspur's Scots foe, Archibald Douglas, 4th Earl of Douglas. Sir William Douglas (d.c 1298), known as Le Hardi or the Hardy, was never known as "William Douglas the Hardy" or "William the Hardy Douglas", as per a prior incarnation of that article, and is now at William the Hardy, Lord of Douglas. These assignation of random Wiki titles is insidious, as it allows any random editor to change nomenclature that has been around for centuries. Brendandh (talk) 14:37, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

message: This picture is clearly not Harry Hotspur. He lived in the 14th Century and the clothes are totally wrong for the period. I've no idea who that is in the picture on the page.

replies: text: This is a 19th century artist's impression, which somewhat polishes the details of the armour, but is there evidence it is not intended to portray Hotspur?Cloptonson (talk) 12:34, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Consolidation of cite references 

message: In looking at the Ancestry tree here, it shows 15 as Isolt Mortimer, 30 as Edmund Mortimer, 1st Lord of Mortimer, and 31 as Margaret Fiennes.  However, in looking around the rest of Wikipedia, I find Margaret Mortimer, Baroness Mortimer nee Fiennes is apparently married to Edmund Mortimer, 2nd Baron Mortimer, and that his father was 1st Baron Mortimer.  However, neither of their pages show a daughter named Isolt, nor a daughter who married an Audley.  Those pages appear to have good sources for their data, while there is no source listed on this tree.  Does anyone have a source which could help clarify here?  1bandsaw (talk) 22:00, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
