Spelling

[edit]

As far as I can tell political historians typically spell his name "Lewis Lewknor" and literary historians spell it "Lewes Lewkenor" (presumably because that's the spelling on the title page of the Commonwealth of Venice). A basic google search suggests that "Lewes Lewknor" is marginally the most common version, and it retains consistency with other members of the Lewknor family represented in Wikipedia articles (Richard Lewknor and Christopher Lewknor have their own articles. Others get mentions). Paul B (talk) 18:38, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
