Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on January 15, 2009.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that when Robert de Bethune was nominated Bishop of Hereford in 1130, King Henry I of England did so because he felt he needed one "godly bishop" around?

Templates edit

Hm.. as the principal editor on this article, I'd really appreciate it if the short form footnotes weren't made into templates. They work just fine as short little bits of text and are easier to maintain that way. Ealdgyth - Talk 17:32, 15 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Title edit

"Robert de Bethune" seems like an odd combination of French "de" and unaccented Béthune. Is there any reason not to follow the ODNB and use the accent? Srnec (talk) 03:10, 29 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

The Handbook of British Chronology does not use the accent, I'll note. I don't object, but I'm not hugely in favor either. Ealdgyth - Talk 12:46, 29 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
