... that at the funeral of his uncle, from whom he inherited the earldom, John de Vere, 14th Earl of Oxford, received an axe brought into the church by a mounted horseman?

Interesting hook, reference accepted in good faith. Prose expanded from 1135 characters to 5432: 5675 would be a 5x expansion. I'm willing to stretch the point, but I suspect that there's probably a bit more that could be added. Acroterion (talk) 02:54, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll see what I can find. NinaGreen (talk) 04:13, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Long enough now, looks good. Acroterion (talk) 04:58, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Good to hear that. NinaGreen (talk) 05:21, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
