- ALT3 ...that during the Bonville–Courtenay feud, the earl of Devon's men stole all Nicholas Radford's horses and the sheets off his invalid wife's bed?
- ALT4 ...that during the Bonville–Courtenay feud, Nicholas Radford' s murderers held a mock inquest and brought in a verdict of suicide before crushing his corpse with his own memorial stones?
- ALT3 and ALT4 can be accepted AGF. I don't have access to the print source cited in the article, but I was able to check that the information about the bedding (alt3), the mock inquest and the stones (alt4) are confirmed elsewhere: National Archives, SC 8/138/6864 Petition of John Radford to the King (SC 8: "Special Collections: Ancient Petitions to the King; to the King and Council; to the Council; to the Parliament; and the like")]. The History of Parliament entry for RADFORD, Nicholas confirms that bedding and six horses were taken, and that the wife was an invalid (alt3); also the "travesty of a coroner’s inquest" and crushing with stones. This source mentions the suicide verdict. (alt4). Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 03:54, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
See paragraph above on confirmation of the alts. The article appears to have been nominated within a day of acceptance as a GA. QPQ has been completed. The article is generally well-written and well-sourced, and has no issues in terms of neutrality or copyvio. The one criticism I have, which is not a bar to passing DYK, is that there are a lot of extended sentence structures that become tricky to follow and could benefit from being repunctuated. ;-) I made a couple of minor changes where punctuation was inconsistent or where a word was used repeatedly in the same sentence.
