If you made a mistake say so, and add it to the list of corrections.
I don't believe it is necessary to repeat myself. I already said
Complete Peerage got it wrong. But if you insist, I'll say it again.
Complete Peerage got it wrong, twice.
read your book
Page 40 Magna Carta Ancestry
Actually I've read my book. On page 41 the correction you ask about is
noted in the footnotes. Joan de Poynings' parentage is there said to
be "unknown." Did you miss the correction? I bet you did.
I do not understand this. When you made the footnotes on page 41, I presume
the book was not as yet printed, why then did page 40, if that contained the
same Joan de Poynings and her questionable parentage, not warrant a similar
footnote? Or better still, I haven't seen it, would you have been able to
show the correct information, making footnotes not necessary, or a footnote
stating you are rivht and CP wrong ? This would have avoided the
misunderstanding by Brendan Wilson and your reply to his question.
With best wishes

Even so, as you are able, you should verify everything you find in
secondary works against primary sources. That includes my books, good
sir.
