Joan of Arc[edit]

Which was the role played by John, Duke of Bedford, in the Joan of Arc trial ? Did he meet her ? Did he witness the execution ? What about the friendship between the Duke of Bedford and the musician John Dunstable ? Any information about a planned "New Order in Europe" ?

References[edit]

I would consider the available references to possibly be accurate but not of a truly credible source as they are personal websites maintained by an individual and not an institutiion. For now I am going to label this article as unreferenced until more suitable references can support many of the facts about John Lancaster. Mkdwtalk 03:53, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The castle's name in the article, Joyeux Repos, turns up in few places, and, notably, is not present in either the English or the French article for the building. To my knowledge, the name means literally "Happy Rest". Would it be possible that it results from an error in translation, referring originally to the circumstances of Duke of Bedford's death?

Why was he created Duke of Bedford twice?[edit]

Why was he created Duke of Bedford twice? I have searched the article for a reason but I am either missing it or it's not given.2600:8804:8C40:401:1C64:8308:33BC:E2D6 (talk) 05:00, 13 January 2023 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson[reply]

What makes you think it happened twice? I can't see that in the article. Celia Homeford (talk) 13:02, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Finding sources[edit]

I am looking for sources to remove the section level "more references" tags. I couldn't easily find a source for

  • "His birthplace is unknown but some historians speculate that he was born in Kenilworth Castle, Warwickshire." That was in the Birth and family section.
  • "Between 1403 and 1405, grants of the forfeited lands from the House of Percy and of the alien priory of Ogbourne, Wiltshire, considerably increased his income. " That was in the Birth and family section.
There is now mention that he received castles that had belonged to Henry Percy in the "Warden of the East March" section.–CaroleHenson (talk) 01:48, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I removed the uncited content from the Arms section. It seems most of it didn't apply specifically to John.
