• The article is new enough, long enough, and of excellent quality. The hook needs some polishing, though. Given that most historians do not believe that the duchess was poisoned, we should probably describe the executed servants as alleged poisoners. I like how the hook can be read as saying that the king investigated the duke for the poisoning of the duchess (despite it not saying that). Instead of "aiding and abetting" I think we should try the simple "involvement" and perhaps indicate that it was the duke who suspected/accused/persecuted him.
