This article mentions its subject's mother by name two times. In both instances the text is hot-linked. In the first instance the hotlink leads to a mistress of the subject's father. A mistress of one's father is indeed a likely candidate to be one's mother. The other link leads to a Canadian politician who is still alive. She would be surprised to know that she's the mother of a man who died centuries ago. Not everyone who has the same name is the same person, you know. 69.86.131.77 ( talk) 03:56, 28 August 2013 (UTC) reply
