Thomas Browne of Beechworth Castle

WP is not a genealogical database; Despite the knighthood, this lists his major accomplishment as having married someone. Dunc|☺ 19:43, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

• Don't underestimate it, it's harder than you think. Delete though. --W(t) 20:01, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
• Hmm, since he seems not to have attained his knighthood through marriage nor had it awarded for service to the Crown, it was apparently harder to marry his wife (the only accomplishment mentioned in the story) than to inherit his title. Delete unless more indication of notability is provided and verified. Barno 20:53, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• He had four sons and a daughter, which is more than Thomas Fitzalan and Elizabeth le Despenser, apparently. Eleanor Maltravers outdoes all three by inheriting something from her step-grandmother and her sister, though. Wikipedia is not a genealogical database. This is not an important historical figure, according to the article. This is a distant relative of an important historical figure. Delete. Uncle G 20:54, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
• Delete: Bertel the Fecund (or "Bertel the Fertile") in Njal's Saga probably out-produced them all. There are all sorts of neat and significant Thomas Brownes in history. I cannot find this one tying to any of them, alas. Geogre 02:21, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
