A fact from Amery of Pavy appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 13 October 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that King Edward III of England ordered stars effaced from the coat of arms of Sir Amery of Pavy for trying to sell Calais, a seaport of which he was the governor, to the French?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2012/October. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Amery of Pavy, Siege of Calais (1348).

This article is essentially the same as the article Siege_of_Calais_(1348). It doesn't say when and where Amery was born, died, lived or anything about him except the part he played in the incident of Calais, and what happened to him afterwards. If nothing else is known about him, then that should be said. 72.179.53.2 (talk) 23:08, 13 October 2012 (UTC) EricReply

The trouble with stating in the article that nothing else is known about him is that just because I don't know anything else about him doesn't mean nothing else is known about him. Such a statement in an article text would also run afoul of WP:Verifiability, because it is an inherently unverifiable statement. I will add to this article as I am able, and I'm relatively certain other reliable sources exist, I just haven't had time to do further research yet. Someone in the UK or France may have access to sources I don't have. Wilhelm Meis (☎ Diskuss | ✍ Beiträge) 19:21, 3 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

What happened to Amery?

Is there any more information as to what became of Amery after his plan failed? I find it hard to believe that for selling a strategic fortress to the enemy during wartime, he would be punished by a mere heraldic abatement. Zacwill16 (talk) 00:32, 26 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Sir Geoffrey de Charny - Sir?

I can find no record of Geoffrey de Charny having an English knighthood.

Is there a reference for this, because his Wiki page makes no mention of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ganpati23 (talk • contribs) 20:39, 28 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
