Lobsterthermidor: I've removed this new section that you just added. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that summarizes information. It's not an exposition of everything that can be winkled out about a topic, especially not if the only references are self-published and/or ~400 years old. If you can find a recent reliable source for this detail (20th century, preferably Hoskins era or later, to indicate that it's a topic that some 21st–century readers might want to read about), then please provide it. Otherwise you could publish this on a website of your own, but not here. I'm happy to discuss, as usual.  —SMALLJIM  21:41, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
