Talk:John of Brittany, Earl of Richmond

Character ambiguity
As "John of Brittany, Earl of Richmond" was a name-title combination which could be held by more than one man over time, I carefully looked through the list of title holders, and decided it was this individual rather than another. I can't remember the precise details of why, but I was satisfied. The reference, plus HT's insistence of placing this before "Pillar of Cloud, Pillar of Fire" in the collection, pinpoint the story's setting to the frame of 1306-9. As the main character Stephen de Windesore is English, it would have been nice to have him namedrop the reigning monarch of his country.JonathanMarkoff (talk) 09:07, July 30, 2016 (UTC)
