A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on June 20, 2024. |
Which was the role played by John, Duke of Bedford, in the Joan of Arc trial ? Did he meet her ? Did he witness the execution ? What about the friendship between the Duke of Bedford and the musician John Dunstable ? Any information about a planned "New Order in Europe" ? The preceeding unsigned comment was left by IP: 213.45.189.125
I would consider the available references to possibly be accurate but not of a truly credible source as they are personal websites maintained by an individual and not an institutiion. For now I am going to label this article as unreferenced until more suitable references can support many of the facts about John Lancaster. Mkdwtalk 03:53, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

The castle's name in the article, Joyeux Repos, turns up in few places, and, notably, is not present in either the English or the French article for the building. To my knowledge, the name means literally "Happy Rest". Would it be possible that it results from an error in translation, referring originally to the circumstances of Duke of Bedford's death?

Why was he created Duke of Bedford twice? I have searched the article for a reason but I am either missing it or it's not given.2600:8804:8C40:401:1C64:8308:33BC:E2D6 (talk) 05:00, 13 January 2023 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson
I am looking for sources to remove the section level "more references" tags. I couldn't easily find a source for

The source "Chisolm" may well be cited for a date, such as hypothetically "occurred on July 1, 1415", with a footnote pointing to Chisolm. But a statement of the form (which, today, does exist in this article, in a vein similar to too many similar statements in too many other Wikipedia articles in sections subtitled "Assesment")
should not merely be credited to Chisolm via a footnote, but should be rephrased as (assuming "Chisholm" is an acknowledged expert on this article's subject)
because a date is an objective encyclopedic fact on which someone with the standing of Chisolm can be trusted, with only the footnote. But the answers to questions such as "What was his character?", and "What does his life all mean, anyway, in the context of British humanity between Homo Antecessor's occupation of Happisburgh in Norfolk over 800,000 years ago and today?", and "Who, really, WAS this man, the interior monologist that we call John Of Lancaster, Duke Of Bedord, and what innermost yearnings drove his soul's thoughts on his epic journey through life?" are never going to be FACTS that one should put into an encyclopedia. If Chisolm purports to have answers to these questions, the fact that Chisolm purports to HAVE such answers IS encyclopedic, and that's why I'd not quibble with the rephrased hypothetical sentence I supplied above. But while the fact that he OFFERS these answers IS encyclopedic, the answers themselves, unlike Chisolm's dates, are NOT encyclopedic. This source seems to date from 1911 anyway. People DID used to write their musings down like that and call it "history". I don't think that flies in academe today. Today a publisher would call it "docu-fiction" or "a historical novel. "Just the facts, ma'am." I originally typed that last sentence in jest, but, when you think about it, it's in earnest: A historian's standards SHOULD be Detective Sergeant Joe Friday's. Only something that passes a bar to be admissible in a Court of Law to obtain a conviction is something Friday (like me) wants to know. No impressions. No feelings of vague unease generated by the way someone dressed or wore their hair. No character-assessments. Nothing subjective. Just the facts, ma'am.2600:1700:6759:B000:E894:BFCC:705D:880 (talk) 09:53, 14 July 2024 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson
