Talk:Wulfric Spot

A recent post at the Teahouse has highlighted that {{tq|"... there is important new information to add to the article on Wulfric Spot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wulfric_Spot What may be his seal matrix has finally been acquired by the British Museum. See the history blog article at http://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/57398"}}

I appreciate we don't accept personal blogs as sources, but no doubt interested parties may wish to investigate and verify. Regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 15:11, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

: Here's the tweet from an (unverified) curator at the British Museum:[https://twitter.com/LloyddeBeer/status/1209058380117094402]. Here's a usable ref,{{cite news |last1=Sanderson |first1=David |title=Museum seals deal for little piece of medieval history |url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/museum-seals-deal-for-little-piece-of-medieval-history-v7d3ttsm7 |accessdate=25 December 2019 |work=The Times |date=23 December 2019 |language=en}} though it would help if someone with a subscription could get more details like whether it came directly from the Schøyen Collection{{cite web |title=MS 2223/14 |url=https://www.schoyencollection.com/seals-collection/medieval-stamp/seal-wulfric-ms-2223-14 |website=Schøyen Collection |accessdate=25 December 2019 |language=en-gb}} or there was someone else in between. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 04:46, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

I'm afraid it's not true that the byname isn't mentioned in any other contemporary sources - There is an Alfric in the St Peter’s Abbey-Church Acquittances (Bath) Acquittances, and a moneyer named Godric Spot Faust.TSFL (talk) 17:28, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

: I have clarified that the source does not say that the byname was not used earlier at all, only that it was not applied to Wulfric. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:39, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
