Henry Percy - Husband? edit

Why is Henry Percy listed as Anne's husband in this template? He is not listed as her spouse on her Infobox, nor is she listed as his spouse on his Infobox. History Lunatic (talk) 17:56, 17 September 2016 (UTC)History LunaticReply

I have no idea but I've changed it to be more accurate. Artemisia (talk) 18:20, 28 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for removing the title of husband, but I would question the title of betrothed as well. Percy's wife Mary Talbot claimed in 1532 that her marriage was invalid because Percy had a pre-contract with Anne; Percy took an oath on the sacrament in front of the Duke of Norfolk, the archbishops, and the king's cannon lawyers that there was no pre-contract. Chapuys wrote in July 1532 that the oath was taken before the king's Council. And in 1536 Percy was questioned again on the matter by Archbishop Cranmer and again swore there was no pre-contract. He and Anne may have planned to marry, but unless someone can show proof that there was a pre-contract, Percy should be removed from the template.

Yeah, you're right, I'd forgotten it was disputed. I'll take it out altogether. Artemisia (talk) 14:06, 10 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
