New enough (recently expanded 5x), long enough, well-sourced and neutrally written, no copyvio detected, interesting hook. Two minor things: 1) "almost not allowed into the funeral" needs an inline citation at the end of the sentence in the article, since it is used in the hook. 2) Awaiting QPQ. These historical romances are always interesting to me. Thanks for your work on this article! DanCherek (talk) 06:37, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
