With our anonymous vandalizer, I somewhat agree that the "Drebbel in popular culture" section is somewhat silly, to put it mildly, and that a better one might also mention some interesting stuff like the recent experimental archaeology reconstruction of his submarine, and so on, rather than DVD diversions. If anyone wanted to rewrite that, it would probably be good. IanClysdale 05:58, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Henry, Prince of Wales
Henry Frederick died in 1612. How did he set Cornelius Drebbel free in 1613!? Smuuv 07:45, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- Also:
During the Thirty Years' War, he was imprisoned by the troops of Frederick V. In 1613 he was released through the intervention of Henry, Prince of Wales and returned to England.
- Considering the Thirty Years' War began in 1618, the date 1613 is a bit odd... unless Drebbel invented a time machine as well. (Ha ha) -- Syzygy 12:15, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
