contains an inaccuracy. Chrles Carlton has his sources confused the quote given is from a primary source:

• An account of the siege of Hopton Castle by Colonel Samuel Moore (or More).

Moor was the governor of Hopton Castle not Holt Castle and the paragraph that starts "After Colonel Samuel Moor" is largely inaccurate. Yes 13 men died at Holt, but that is not what Aldersey told Moor as he informed Moor of the deaths at Hopton castle as the primary source makes clear.

Then a little after, about three hours after the delivery of the castle, Lieutenant Aldersey asked me how many of the soldiers I thought were sent to Shrewsbury? I told him I knew not, I conceived all were in one condition; he told me none, which I wondering at apprehended they were delivered and was somewhat cheerful, but then be answered with an oath they were all killed, ... I could eat but little; then he let me lie upon his own bed, where I lay till day break,

Anne Pytts, dowager Countess of Coventry

It was not Holt Castle in Wales but more likely another Holt Castle in Worcestershire, near the village of Holt Fleet, at whose parish church she is stated in the Wikipedia article on that place to have been buried. I nominate it for deletion (does the ODNB place it in Wales - the writer of her biography may have been in error).Cloptonson (talk) 20:44, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
