Reviewer: hamiltonstone (talk) 02:01, 11 August 2010 (UTC) Generally excellent, neutral, stable and well referenced. I am not familiar with copyright issues etc in relation to coats of arms, but with that proviso the images are in order. Some terminology is a little inaccessible to a lay reader:

• "was created the first Percy earl of Northumberland in 1377" - can this be put in plainer English, such as "was the first of his family / line to be made earl of Northumberland" or does this mean something else?
• "presented his grandson to the king at Doncaster" - I assume this doesn't mean he gave him as a gift. What does "presented" therefore imply in this context?
• "he was also involved in central affairs" - what is meant by "central affairs"?
• "the majority rule of Henry VI." Why "majority"?
• "was appointed member of the minority council of the infant Henry VI." What is a minority council?

It would be good to have these points clarified. hamiltonstone (talk) 02:01, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your review. I've tried to clarify these things, let me know if this helps, or if there are still issues to be resolved. Lampman (talk) 18:21, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
