Talk:Chatham, Kent

message: I added Citation needed because simply that internal link to King Harold II Godwinson clearly isn't accurate insofar William the Conqueror could, would never give a mere manor to the man he'd just killed in that battle near Hastings!
What I do find intriguing, especially as my mother's mother's descended from the Norwood family which has arguably claimed descent from King Harold II Godwinson when apparently his wife went into Benedictine Prior Sanctuary in Minster, Sheppey with their then child son who's later been called Jordanus de Sheppey, I'm wondering, is there any possibility Jordanus de Sheppey in actual fact also became known as Earl Godwinson otherwise, what are the tantalising time mists, myths involved here, oft created by mixing oral histories like so called Chinese whispers?

thread_title:  After the [[Norman conquest of England|Norman invasion]] the manor of Chatham, originally [[Saxon]], was given by [[William the Conqueror]] to [[Earl Godwinson]]. 

message: On 30th Jan 2016 I removed a sentence saying that Chatham was given to Earl Godwinson (page links to Harold Godwinson) after the Norman conquest, as obviously, as it says above, this is impossible due to Harold being killed at the battle of Hastings. ClemRutter reverted this change saying 'Can you supply a reference to your certainty that the manor of Chatham was not one of the 200 given to Godwinson'. ClemRutter can you clarify what you mean? As it seems to me this is obviously false. Even if 'Earl Godwinson' refers to another member of Harold's family, it seems unlikely that William would have given a manor to the family of the man he has just killed. In fact I believe Bishop Odo of Bayeux, half brother to William I, received Kent. Thermocycler (talk) 15:03, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

message: I suggest this article's name is changed to just "Chatham". This is in line with many other towns where there is no disambiguation needed. Even if there were another Chatham somewhere, this Chatham would be the default one, same as Gravesend or Dartford. I notice an earlier suggestion above about a name change, but that was for another reason and serves merely as a good example of the sort of confusion that has arisen about counties. I thought it best to post here first. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 04:09, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
