18:0818:08, 25 April 2023 diff hist −25‎ Archibald Douglas, 4th Earl of Douglas ‎ →‎Death of Rothesay: It is not 'alleged to be mysterious circumstances'. The circumstances were certainly mysterious. No question of that. What is alleged is that it was murder.
18:0518:05, 25 April 2023 diff hist −18‎ Archibald Douglas, 4th Earl of Douglas ‎ →‎Master of Douglas: Threave Castle was not built until after his birth, in the 1370s so he could not have been born there. If someone wants to argue the point I can certainly back it up with references. Both points are clearly stated in Michael Brown's 'The Black Douglases' for example.

18:4718:47, 24 April 2023 diff hist +329‎ C. J. Sansom ‎ →‎Politics: An extremely biased section to which I tried to add a little balance quoting polling information from YouGov which is a highly rated polling organisation. Tag: Reverted

15:3815:38, 9 April 2023 diff hist +14‎ Scold's bridle ‎ →‎England and Scotland: The citations specifically mention drunkenness at the one at Abbott House, Dunfermline.

16:5816:58, 2 April 2023 diff hist −16‎ Coronations in Europe ‎ →‎England: This is wrong. England and Scotland did not merge which anyone anywhere near UK politics is aware nor did the Act of Union change the monarchy. They were made in the same person by the 1603 Union of the Crowns.

02:0702:07, 25 March 2023 diff hist −18‎ Archibald Douglas, 3rd Earl of Douglas ‎ →‎Marriage and children: The position of Provost of Edinburgh dates from 1667, long after this date. If you check the list of Governors of Edinburgh Castle you will find that this was the position that George de Lawedre held.

21:0421:04, 21 March 2023 diff hist +11‎ Paolo Nutini ‎ →‎Early life: That is racist. His father is a Scot just as much as his mother. They are of differing descent.

23:1523:15, 4 March 2023 diff hist +5‎ Economy of Scotland in the High Middle Ages ‎ →‎Criticisms of Feudal Terminology: Again a simple historical fact. The king did not 'grant' land in Scotland.
23:1223:12, 4 March 2023 diff hist +4‎ Economy of Scotland in the High Middle Ages ‎ →‎Criticisms of Feudal Terminology: It is not a 'claim' that Scotland was not conquered by the Normans. It is a simple historical fact.

17:2917:29, 6 February 2023 diff hist +36‎ Burnt Candlemas ‎ left off the main result Tag: Reverted
17:2717:27, 6 February 2023 diff hist −82‎ Burnt Candlemas ‎ There is no record of any such truce. There was no large-scale devastation of Northumberland, just limited fighting around Norham Castle which resulted in the defeat of the English at Nesbit Moor. Tag: Reverted
17:1717:17, 6 February 2023 diff hist +88‎ Burnt Candlemas ‎ The English were not resupplied at Haddingtom. The English army retreated. The reluctance to use the correct term is amusing. The truce of 1357 was certainly nowhere even close to 'permanent'. Tag: Reverted
17:1017:10, 6 February 2023 diff hist −1‎ Sieges of Berwick (1355 and 1356) ‎ →‎Aftermath: Let's use the correct word Tag: Reverted
17:0317:03, 6 February 2023 diff hist 0‎ Sieges of Berwick (1355 and 1356) ‎ →‎Prelude Tag: Reverted
17:0217:02, 6 February 2023 diff hist −17‎ Sieges of Berwick (1355 and 1356) ‎ →‎Prelude: No such truce was ever signed. Note that there is *no* citation to back up the claim. There is no record of a large scale general attack on Northumberland but quite a localized one. Tag: Reverted
