Death date for James Burbage: 1593 or 1597 edit

This page says "After the death of their father in February 1593, Richard and his brother Cuthbert ..." But the page for James Burbage (father of Richard and Cuthbert) gives his death date as 1597. What year did James Burbage die? DerJKlinge (talk) 22:50, 21 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Birth date edit

I've also seen it as 7 January and even 7 July. How sure are we that it was 6 January? -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 20:43, 17 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

fame and meta-fame edit

... widely considered to have been one of the most famous actors of the Globe Theatre and of his time.

If someone is "widely considered" famous, is not that alone enough to make him famous? —Tamfang (talk) 02:17, 16 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Not necessarily, if those doing the considering are after his time. Still makes me itch though. —Tamfang (talk) 18:37, 7 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
