Talk:Mervyn Tuchet, 2nd Earl of Castlehaven

info removed from article

I took out the claim that he had a daughter by Lady Anne Stanley--this is not true according to thepeerage.com. As a result, I also removed the following note from the bottom of the article:

The marriage of Katherine Gray to Edward Seymour, Earl of Hertford (d. 1621) was of questionable validity: if it be deemed invalid, and if one excludes the descendants of James VI & I, then Ferdinando Stanley would have been the heir of the Tudors. He was approached by conspirators and offered the English throne if he would help in their conspiracy against Elizabeth I. He declined, and was then poisoned by the conspirators. Anne Stanley would have succeeded him to the throne, but her children by Baron Chandos would have proceeded her daughter by the Earl of Castlehaven in the succession.

Please see William Addams Reitwiesner's essay on the subject. He lists a daughter, Anne Tuchet, who died young and unmarried. john k 01:20, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay, that looks good. I was suspicious because it wasn't in the Lady Anne Stanley article so I can add it there as well. Regardless, I don't think the "Note" should be returned to the article. It's more relevent to the Stanley's than to Mervyn Tuchet. Tocharianne 04:30, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Edit reversion

@82.132.246.88: Firstly, double-reverting my edits and telling to 'take it to talk' when I specifically asked you to do that, is just rude and goes against Wiki policy. Further, I assume subtly trying to demean me by referring to me as a "new editor" when you appear to be an IP with a history of vandalism, is rich to say the least.

Request for clarification

Is Tuchet the only MP EVER to be executed for a nonpolitical crime, or the only one from the UK Parliament? 98.237.249.71 (talk) 01:01, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
