Talk:Hastings Russell, 12th Duke of Bedford

message: Any supporting evidence for the claim that Bedford "largely financed" the Strickland Press? The Strickland Press was set up with a bequest from Sir Walter Strickland and was run by the USM group around Guy Aldred. Aldred published some material by Bedford on pacifism and economic reform and Bedford also wrote an ocassional column for Aldred's paper The Word until his death. Aldred's rationale for publishing Bedford came down to the issue of free speech...Aldred was a lifelong follower of Richard Carlile; so much so that, despite being an active anti-fascist, he published a pamphlet in 1943 highlighting the cause of British fascists interned under Regulation 18B. -- Steelwool (talk) 23:39, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:George Spencer-Churchill, 5th Duke of Marlborough

message: The quotation from Harriet Arbuthnot used to read, in part:  "The present Duke is overloaded with debt, is very little better than a common swindler and lets [sic] everything about Blenheim."  The "[sic]" is inappropriate because the use of "let" in this sentence is as a verb, a synonym to "lease."  In modern language we might say:  "He leases everything he can all around Blenheim."  This is clear in the context of the next sentence, which begins: "People may shoot and fish at so much per hour . . . ."  So I removed the "[sic]". Laura1822 02:17, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Indanylamphetamine is not an entactogen. It's a massive serotonin releaser, a CNS stimulant, raises body temperature, but has no psychedelic, entactogenic, or euphoric qualities. It's subjective effects are more similar to SSRI's like Paxil or Prozac, or _maybe_ MBDB (no experience with MBDB). It's very unlike MDA or bk-MDMA however.

Talk:William de Mandeville, 3rd Earl of Essex

message: The title was not extinct at William's death in 1189; his heir was his aged aunt, Beatrice de Say neé Mandeville.  She wished the Mandeville estates and the earldom to go to her only surviving son, Geoffrey de Say II.  Geoffrey was to be the recipient, but the amount he was charged was too great and he fell behind on the payments.  That gave Geoffrey Fitz Peter, married to Beatrice de Say, daughter of Geoffrey's deceased elder brother, an opportunity to claim the inheritance by right of his wife.  He received the estates, and was later made earl of Essex by right of his wife. DeAragon 09:00, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Sidney Godolphin, 1st Earl of Godolphin

message: See James Prescott, explicating the Jacobite song made famous by Steeleye Span and probably a forgery by James Hogg, "Cam Ye O'er Frae France?", at http://www.telusplanet.net/public/prescotj/data/music/camyeoer.html:
"'Mr. Montgomery' was the pseudonym of Godolphin, who had been until 1688 the devoted Chamberlain of Mary of Modena. His lasting infatuation for her "was of course common knowledge". There were rumours (which it was considered "in poor taste" to mention) that Godolphin's devotion might have been more than strictly official. His love probably went unrequited. Although Godolphin rose to be Lord Treasurer (the head of the government) under Queen Anne, he remained a Jacobite and corresponded with Mary of Modena in exile until his death in 1712. He frequently sent her gifts, with official government permission. 
Mary of Modena was the most important Jacobite after James, was very active at the time in the cause, and was the only woman publicly associated with James III in 1715. MacQuoid says, "'Montgomery's lady' may have been the lady of Lord James Montgomery, who was engaged in a plot in 1695, and who, it is likely, would be connected with the Jacobites." I do not agree with his conjecture." 
I do not know what weight to give these judgements, but this is I believe the only web-published explanation of the term 'Montgomery's lady' in this fine song.  Diomedea Exulans (talk) 13:48, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

That portrait is dated 1735, when the 4th Earl was 18 years old. However the man in the portrait is clearly middle-aged, which would match his father.
