Talk:William Parr (died 1483)

Title of Page

Perhaps we should think about re-naming this page as Sir William was never titled 1st Baron Parr of Kendal. That title was bestowed upon his grandson, William Parr, 1st Marquess of Northampton in 1538. This William Parr is usually known as Sir William Parr of Kendal KG as he was one of only two gentlemen made Knight of the Garter in the late reign of Edward IV. What do people think about this? He did receive 1/4 of the barony but technically was not suo jure baron. -- Lady Meg (talk) 01:08, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

I think you are absolutely correct, Lady Meg; and as you have had no reply for nearly six years, I have gone ahead with the move. Reliable sources agree with you; it probably stems from misunderstanding the grant of a portion of the fee of a barony, as being a grant of a barony itself. Still got to change the transcluded ancestors chart, and the image in the info box to reflect his newly-acquired status. Cheers, O Fortuna!^{...Imperatrix mundi.} 12:54, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Noticed the user HistoryAmma spammed the article. Anyone feel like correcting it? Not even sure the statements are factual. It’s been awhile since I checked the page. Can’t just revert edit unfortunately. Lady Meg (talk) 10:59, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
