The style of this article is problematic, to say the least. It is not the only one; the 6th, 7th and 8th Earl's articles are (or were, having been tidied) similarly formatted.
Biographies should be linear, recording someone's life in chapters (i.e. 'early life', 'career', 'death', etc.). This and the other articles are written so oddly, that not only are they difficult/boring to read, but hard to understand. A miscellany of assessments is not bad or wrong but should go orderly at the end of the article.
I am attempting to fix this without removing all of the acquired sources/quotes. Fitzkarl (talk) 17:43, 29 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
