Wehwalt is right: The BBC source is inaccurate.
[edit]User:Wehwalt, Thank you for the much-needed corrections. I think your edits are correct, and my old material was incorrect. I had lifted it from this BBC article, which I believe contains inaccuracies itself.
As a result, be aware that your corrections actually contradict the BBC source in the footnotes. The solution may simply be to delete the BBC source as a citation. Andrew Gradman talk/WP:Hornbook 21:52, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
- I read the AfD, I'm sorry, I had totally forgotten this aritcle until I came across the see also. Uh, I would say keep BBC as a reference but don't use it to cite what is obviously wrong. There must be a backstory to this, I will see if I can find out anything. Why else would monarchs over the course of over a century issue near identical proclamations? I appreciate very much your staying involved with the article.--Wehwalt (talk) 03:15, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Is here: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=xss9AQAAMAAJ&lpg=RA1-PA235 p 235 It should be given in context, and pointed out that while the author notes the practice, he says it is rare and he deplores it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.171.222.250 (talk) 14:08, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
