Titles[edit]

Can someone point me to where it says that he didn’t get Baron Parr of Kendal and Earl of Essex back? His stall plate says he was still using those titles. If no one responds, I am taking it out. Lady Meg (talk) 07:15, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Marriages[edit]

I see a lot of use of G. E. Cokayne, The Complete Peerage, n.s., Vol.IX, p.672, note (b)—the statement “On 17 April 1543 their marriage was annulled by an Act of Parliament and any of her children "born during esposels between Lord and Lady Parr"” apparently comes from that source. I cannot access this and have no idea what the source actually says. According to Susan James, Catherine Parr’s biographer, Parr separated from Anne in 1542 and on 13 March 1543 William had a bill passed which repudiated his wife and made any children she had illegitimate. I don’t see anything about an annulment being passed on 17 April 1543 in her book. Lady Meg (talk) 05:15, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why does the article say that he had no issue when, patently, he did? Horatio the Younger (talk) 11:24, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
