Untitled
The name should be "Thynn", although his father's was "Thynne". —

Move to article following naming convention. Note that an article has already been created at the destination, which will need to be merged in to the more detailed article. (Raised by anon on

Should be at
Alexander Thynn, 7th Marquess of Bath. There's no reason to include his middle name, and for some reason he changed his family's surname to remove the "e".
Proteus(Talk) 20:44, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Support with name corrected to "Thynn". —

Oppose. Pointless move. --

Support the move which has already been made, as it is apparently in accordance both with the standard of the peerage project and the way the man spells his own name. /

What happened to the "e" at the end of his surname?
He dropped the "e" because he did not want the pronunciation to wind up rhyming with "pine" but prefers it to rhyme with "thin"
Pronunciation of Ceawlin
Ceawlin is not pronounced 'colin', it's pronounced 'see awe lynn'. I'm quite sure of this. I was at school with him. —Preceding

"Wifelets"
I seem to recall him talking about having "wifelets". Is this in any RS? --

Nesta Wyn-Ellis's 2010 book is a source on this question. See
this review.
El Ingles (

The article needs to cover this better. The first mention of "the wifelets" refers to their possible eviction, but the article does not detail to whom or what the term "wifelets" might refer.

Death
@

His death is being reported on Longleat's social media, also it's saying he passed away on 04/04/20 in Bath - have tried to edit page to reflect this but my edits have been reverted back to saying he's alive — Preceding

He’s definitely dead, my sister works for Longleat and they’ve all just been sent an email. Obviously not useful as a reference, but just a heads up.

@
Hcvfd: and
Naihreloe - there is
WP:NORUSH.
WP:BLP is the overriding factor here. I've semi-protected the article for 24h to help prevent breaches. It might take a couple of hours to be able to reliably reference this, but that is not a big deal.

This
is the tweet from the Longleat estate. Nothing yet on the website as far as I can tell.

I am wanting to edit this page since he has sadly died of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) as announced by Longleat safari.
TheMcYeeter (

Source says he died after contracting it, not of it.

We now have two extremely reliable sources, The Times and The Telegraph, that say he died of the virus. -

Photograph
Is
this him? I am very bad at recognizing faces. If it's him, I could ask the uploader to change the license so that the file can be transferred to the Commons.
Surtsicna (

I'll console myself that it at least looks a bit like him. But
this is Bath, right? Though I am much less certain that this photographer will change the license.
Surtsicna (

Is the link to her sufficient coverage of this, or does the fact of her previous career as a pornographic actress of considerable not merit mention, at least in passing, in this article? It seemed to have creates a small stir at the time.
