Blanche of Lancaster link edit

The link from Blanche Wake to the Blanche of Lancaster article is misleading. These ladies were contemporary members of the Lancastrian party but they were separate people. Blanche Wake was given custody of John and Thomas Mowbray, her great nephews, in 1372 (DNB). Blanche of Lancaster died in 1368 (DNB). One was married to Henry, Duke of Lancaster, the other to Baldwin Wake. Blanche of Lancaster died in 1369 (Wikipedia) but Blanche Wake died in 1357 (Wp), 15 years before DNB has her taking on the two boys. (RJPe (talk) 15:03, 25 January 2008 (UTC))Reply
