Re, the dauphin, maybe you could put in a footnote to explain that he is the heir of the King of France. Here's a link if you want one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dauphin

This is virtually finished, as far as I can see, and it's a very good entry, about time there was one.

Hi Trour
Good point all done thanks for tip...

bs

Sorry Trout for typo on your name

YIKES! I've just looked at the links I gave you. I thought I posted one for middlesex, but it's middlesex UNIVERSITY/. . You might want to take that one out.

Hi ok I will get on it (thought they did a course orn something)

bs

Alrigh, here you are:

'peoples minds has been the one they were given during their school days, which tends to'

people's minds>

'fact, the unwilling King John,'

I'm a little uncertain about this phrase. I think it made John sound like he was an unwilling king. Maybe 'The angry man, an unwilling participant, was in fcat Kinh John' or something like that?

'way,'given by'

There needs to be a space between the comma and the apostraphe

'To all free men of our kingdom we have also granted, for us and our heirs for ever, all the liberties written out below, to have and to keep for them and their heirs, of us and our heirs.'
'It is clear that the common man did not get a mention at all; it simply did not apply unless one was a freeman and/or a landowner3.'

I know you do make this point later on, but I think that here is the best place to point out that, in the 1100's, very few people were in fact 'free men' at all.

'A sort tenant farmer of sorts'

Take out the first 'sort' or make it 'a sort of tenant farmer' one or the other.

'Knights Templar.7The Knights Templar'

Space between the footnote and 'The'

'John no land.'

Fragmented sentence, as Microsoft would tell you. Makes no sense on it's own.

'England, lord of Ireland, Duke of'

Capital 'L' for Lord.

'John looked although needed help as on May 21st 1215,'

John looked as though he needed help'?


Apart from those, I think it looks pretty close to being ready myself.

All done please comment. Thanks again for the review.

The finest of the four surviving copies of the Magna Carta is held at Salisbury Cathedral Wiltshire. > Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire. (i.e. insert a comma.

Also, please include the link for Wiltshire, England, UK, which is atA6672468.

Something I discovered whilst I was on holiday during the week (It was in response to a Q that somebody asked in a newspaper column):

The correspondent had written that King John is alleged not to have actually signed the Magna Cartas, but attached his seal to it because he could not write. Is this true?

Answer: It's a persistent tale but probably unfair to the King. When KJ met the barons at Runnym. in 1215, they only drew up notes which were then taken away. Some sources say that KJ signed the notes from which the MC emerged some t9me later.
Several copies of the MC were made, each confirmed by a royal seal - this being the normal procedure in the 13th C.
Documents were made official by sealing rather than signing. KJ is said to have greatly enjoyed his large library, so it is highly unlikely that he was illiterate.

Hi hope your holiday was good.

Wiltshire added and your notes inclubed in footnotes (if ok by you).

Please check out, thanks adain.

bs

the Wiltshire hyperlink still isn't there. Maybe it's because there was a typo in my post above where the 'A' number was linked to the preceding word. It should've been A6672468.

Hi works my end though I have replaced to make sure, and it still works. Strange any ideas please check......

bs

Funny, it's there in your 'References section, but isn't hyperlinked from the footnote

(Anyway, must dash now, )

Well I've had a look and I can see the hyperlink it the footnote. Speaking for myself I can't really see a good deal else that needs changing here.
