[edit] Guisborough Priory
THis page says he founded Guisborough Priory, but the page for the priory says it was Robert de Brus, 2nd Lord of Annandale. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 19:32, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- The latter page is wrong. The author there, btw, meant Robert de Brus, 1st Lord of Annandale, but probably wrote "2nd Lord of Annandale" because he believed the 1st Lord of Annandale was the 2nd. Regards, Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 19:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sources
Very clear citations and sources are needed here if time-honoured histories of this family are to be disguarded. Sending someone to a website where one has to pay is questionable to say the least. David Lauder 14:13, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography is not a website, but a publication available online. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 09:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

- I'll check it. Of course it is just written by a small army of people, not all of them experts. I specifically asked for exact citations (rather than a general reference) because I felt it was necessary. You have removed the tags without providing them. David Lauder 18:18, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- It's in the reference!The OND article is by Archie Duncan ... most definitely an expert!!! Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 19:02, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

- Is there any way for a frenchman to access Oxford DNB without paying ? :)) --PurpleHz 00:44, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
We all note the comments above but did Duncan write the entire DNB article? If he is to overturn everything, as David Lauder says, then I think we need more detail at least on this page. Duncan may be highly regarded but so were all the other experts whose writings you now suggest were wrong. Too much of this on Wikipedia - people scouting around until they locate a writer who supports their theories. 195.194.75.209 08:59, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
