Can someone else review [1] because the way I read it our entry is not quite correct. Specifically:
"Our heirs and successors, do give and grant to the said Henry, Lord Howard, the office of Marshal of England, together with the name and honour of Earl Marshal of England, "
The letters patent seem to be readable as the office being Marshall of England the name and title being EM. If that is so the article should probably make that distinction Alci12 17:14, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
I am very confused, as I thought that John Marshal, William Marshal's FATHER (not just his brother) held the office of Marshal for King Stephen, and won the right for his family to hold it as a herditary title. This was the impression I got from Duby's book on William. I don't remember Strongbow being marshal at all. ???? Lordjim13 11:03, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
