Are we sure the portrait is his?
editThe portrait is captioned as being of Robert Tatton "more than a decade before the siege of Wythenshawe Hall". As his birth year is given as 1606, he would have only been 27 years old in 1633 (the decade point before the start of the siege), but the portrayed man looks too old with his balding forehead and a visage reminding me of King James I in his last years(to 1625) ie a man more likely to be of Tatton's father's generation. How historically supported is the claim to the sitter being the subject of this article?Cloptonson (talk) 17:47, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
