I would recommend moving this to Ranulf Higden, which seems to be by far the more common spelling in the literature cited here and other literature on my shelves. -- Doric Loon ( talk) 09:51, 11 January 2011 (UTC).
Technical request for move to Ranulf Higden submitted. (Currently, Ranulf Higden redirects to Ranulf Higdon.) Frans Fowler ( talk) 15:55, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
The link "Polychronicon" within this article reverts back to this same page, which seems rather pointless. Perhaps it would be better to make the link point to a not-yet-existing article, in the hope that someone will write a separate article about it. Chillowack ( talk) 20:02, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

The article gives Higden's d.o.b. as 'c. 1280'. This appears to derive from the Enc. Brit. article, perhaps that of the 10th - or earlier - edition. ODNB however makes no mention of a date of birth, which suggests to me that there is no substantial evidence for 1280, and indeed such precision is uncommon in the Middle Ages. I auggest that wikipedia either substantiate this date more adequately, or remove it.

I'm going to start revising this page and as such am hoping to find more about Higden's life to put in here. I've also noticed some things in the article that are mentioned but not explained, such as Higden being accused of plagiarism; I'm going to look more into this statement. It is my hope to find additional sources and information to fill out this page. Conflict of interest statement: I am a paid student employee at BYU. Heidi Pusey BYU ( talk) 22:34, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
I'm having trouble verifying Ranulf Higden's date of death. The lede says that he died on March 12, 1364 (no source is attached and I cannot find any sources that verify this). Other sources say that he died during the Feast of Saint Gregory (in September), and yet another claims that he died in March 1363. Some say he died sometime between 1363 and 1364. Should I include all these in the article? In the lede should I say something like "Ranulf Higden or Higdon (c. 1280 - 1363 or 1364)" or do "Ranulf Higden or Higdon (born c. 1280, West England)" and just address the different death dates in his biography? What do you think? I would love your feedback! Heidi Pusey BYU ( talk) 21:18, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
