Ahem, long enough! And very fresh. Sources abound, possibly even to an excess. Incredibly interesting. I am a history nerd and no, I did not know this. Images check out. Sources and paraphrasing checked as part of the FA process. The article title is problematic, as noted by several editors; my concern is that it is a bit POV-ish, so we should wait until that is resolved. I strongly recommend basing a hook on the nomination introduction you wrote here. Thank you for this one, Serial Number 54129. Surtsicna (talk) 08:29, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

- ALT1: ... that a 15th-century cause célèbre saw a duchess dead, innocents hanged, villains and sorcerers drawn and quartered and eventually the king's brother executed in a butt of malmsey?
Yes, that's it, Serial Number 54129! Off we go! Surtsicna (talk) 13:42, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
