[edit] Article is Fragmented

This article is packed full of good facts but is incredibly arduous to read. It's so broken up into sections that it's not really connected. It lacks any kind of cohesion. Just my thoughts. I think a rewording and rewritting of this could prove helpful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.107.151.178 (talk • contribs) 22:24, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] William Stone

After waiting weeks for this to have citations added, I have moved it from the article to the talk page as suggested by WP:V

• William Stone - The "Battle of the Severn" fought in March 1655 is sometimes indicated to be the final battle of the Third English Civil War.{{Fact}} Stone was the Proprietary Governor of the English colony of Maryland and he unsuccessfully led a Roman Catholic (Royalist) army against a Puritan (Parliamentarian) army. The Puritans were in open revolt in Maryland from 1650 and Stone was sent put the revolt down by the Proprietor of the Maryland colony Cæcilius Calvert, the 2nd Lord Baltimore.{{Fact}}

During the English interregnum there were lots of plots and rebellions. What makes this rebellion part of the Third Civil War, yet not the eight attempts between 1652 and 1659 to bring about the Restoration by the Sealed Knot? At the very least this needs a source that claims it was part of the Third/Second Civil War. --Philip Baird Shearer 23:44, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
