“implicated in the murder of Lord Dacre”

[edit]

This text was recently deleted from the article:

Hugh may have been implicated in his predecessor's death; he and Nicholas Harrington were excommunicated by the Archbishop of York, likely in connection with the murder, and they were both presented for the murder at Preston, though they escaped long-term repercussions.

The given source says:

Sir Nicholas pursued his grudge to its logical conclusion, and was personally implicated in the murder of Lord Dacre, who died childless and intestate, in August 1375, almost certainly at the hands of his own brother, Sir Hugh, and our Member, his accomplice. Although both men were presented for the murder at Preston in the following year, having already been excommunicated by the archbishop of York, neither suffered much in the way of long-term retribution.

I’ve therefore reinstated the deleted text but please discuss here if I’m missing the point. Thanks --Northernhenge (talk) 21:27, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
