Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Richard Feld” as english priest. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1401, 1390, 1371, 1393—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Richard, Feld and English can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as english priest. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17479108. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1401, 1390, 1371 and 1393.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
