Untitled edit
All reliable sources, including the 2006 Britannica online, confirm the 1478 date of birth. Michael David 15:33, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
Lord High Constable edit
According to this article, he became LHC when Henry VIII became king (which was 1509). Yet in the succession box, and in the list of LHCs in the article Lord High Constable of England, it says 1485. Which is correct? Richard75 17:50, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Illegitimate Children and sources edit
I've added the illegitimate children as recorded in the Oxford Dictionary of Biography, but Margaret has 2 sources of marriage information. Currently I've included both. I'm sure there's a rule somewhere about this but not found it yet.Rachelcgen (talk) 19:21, 18 January 2010 (UTC) That is probably because he had a legitimate daughter named Margaret who married Sir John Bulmer. Both were executed in 1537 after the Pilgrimage of Grace and they left three children.[1]Smlark (talk) 19:24, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Two paragraphs talking about the same incident as if they were different incidents edit
There are two paragraphs talking about the same incident in different ways. They need consolidating:
- "In 1510 Buckingham was involved in a scandal concerning his sister, Anne. After hearing rumours concerning Anne and Sir William Compton, Buckingham found Compton in Anne's room. Compton was forced to take the sacrament to prove that he and Anne had not committed adultery, and Anne's husband, George Hastings, 1st Earl of Huntingdon, sent Anne away to a convent 60 miles distant from the court. There is no extant evidence establishing that Anne and Sir William Compton were guilty of adultery. However, in 1523 Compton took the unusual step of bequeathing land to Anne in his will, and directing his executors to include her in the prayers for his kin for which he had made provision in his will.[2]"
- "Buckingham fell out dramatically with the King in 1510, when he discovered that the King was having an affair with the Countess of Huntingdon, the Duke's sister and wife of the 1st Earl of Huntingdon.[3] She was taken to a convent sixty miles away. There are some suggestions that the affair continued until 1513."

Primary topic? edit
Going by pageviews, this Edward Stafford is the clear primary topic. I'm not sure, though, whether noblemen should always be disambiguated. I'm sure somebody who has this bio on their watchlist will be more knowledgeable with regards to naming conventions for nobility, and could comment whether there's a case to move this page or not.

Execution edit
I’ve heard that he was “definitely guilty” from several sources but not one of them provides any evidence, substantial or otherwise, whatsoever. I find the lack of evidence bizarre. Does anyone know of any such evidence, or did he just anger H8? If there is no evidence for “definitely guilty”, then the wording needs to be removed. Bill the Cat 7 (talk) 14:37, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
