Siege of Perth (1339)

(

• Back to T:TDYK

• ... that a warrant was issued to pay a force to relieve the Siege of Perth two months after the garrison had surrendered this day in 1339?

• Source: "In October 1339 a warrant was issued to pay the wages of 1264 men from Cumberland and Westmorland who were going to Scotland under the command of Balliol and others to raise the siege of Perth, but Perth had in fact surrendered on 17 August"

• Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Kimboo
• Comment: Would be good to run on 17 August, the anniversary of the end of the siege.

• After rereading this, possibly this is a better wording?

Alt1 ... that a warrant was issued to pay a force to relieve the Siege of Perth in October 1339, after the garrison had already surrendered on 17 August? CSJJ104 (talk) 00:24, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Nice new article, well sourced (to mostly offline sources) and a sufficiently interesting hook (Alt1). I added a '1339,' and 'already' to Alt1; perhaps the '17 August' isn't needed at all? QPQ requirement is complete. Chaiten1 (talk) 16:44, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
