Aetheling[edit]
Wouldn't "Aetheling" actually be either "Son of a Noble" or "Little Noble"? Ameise -- chat 09:27, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Recent move[edit]
I am not definitely against this recent move, but it is potentiall controversial and it seems to have been taken without discussion. Why? PatGallacher (talk) 13:59, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
I've never before seen him called Adelin rather than A[e]theling. —Tamfang (talk) 08:33, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
I am still wondering about this. Why would an English Prince of French and Scottish blood have his article titled with a Germanic word? I cannot imagine that anyone would search for this person under "William Adelin," nor can I find any contemporary or historic references to him under this name. But maybe I am just uninformed and someone can point me to them. IMO this article should be moved back to William Aetheling. Can we have discussion on this?

Illegitimate children cannot succeed[edit]
Henry had an "abundance of ...illegitimate children, .... but for various reasons none were chosen". Of course not. Illegitimate children cannot succeed.203.80.61.102 (talk) 21:20, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
William the Conqueror was the illegitimate son of Robert I, Duke of Normandy, but he was able to succeed his father. Dimadick (talk) 10:33, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah, they put up with all those meddlesome priests, so they could work miracles when matters of state so required.

Marriage[edit]
There is no mention of marriage, and only a passing reference to a wife. This should be rectified.203.80.61.102 (talk) 21:21, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
