Image:Alain Le Roux small.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I have removed the following from the article
In 2007, it was estimated that this was equivalent to £81 billion. [1]
As discussed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Kenilworth Castle there are major problems with converting historic sums to modern values, especially those over 900 years old. For instance the MeasuringWorth website only goes as far back as 1245. Nev1 ( talk) 14:44, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
There's probably a spelling mistake: "The Margam Annals and a 13th-century chronicle assert he died in 1189" - perhaps it should be 1089. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.50.137.129 ( talk) 17:14, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
References
I've gone through some of the online references, and have a bit of a concern about the text they're being used to support. I've added some inline tags, but to explain further:
It's worth noting that many of these links were also to primary, rather than secondary, sources: in many cases, the text of Domesday Book. Hchc2009 ( talk) 07:08, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
What's wrong with referencing the domesdaymap.co.uk text of the Domesday Book? Is it not authoritative enough? Zoetropo ( talk) 04:58, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

There is no question but that this article contains original research and it is overly dependent on the published work of a single scholar. It also contained some speculative sections, including a rather far-fetched proposition that a man identified only as Alan (a not uncommon Breton name) who held land in Suffolk in Jan. 1066 could have been Alan Rufus, who later held a manor with a similar placename in Norfolk. In 1066 Alan Rufus is known to have held of Duke William in Normandy, so the likelihood that he also held a single, relatively small manor in the east of England under Edward the Confessor is quite far-fetched. While there may be a place for speculation in a Wikipedia article, such ill-founded speculation is not appropriate.DeAragon 21:31, 16 January 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dearagon ( talk • contribs)
