Should we link to the cities of Lancaster and York? They seem to me to be red herrings; anybody that follows their links will be going the wrong way. We should instead link to the counties. Of course, we do link to the counties, so the thing to do is simply to delink the cities.

BTW, we don't actually link to the city of Lancaster. Lancaster is a disambiguation page — one of whose pointers is to this very article!

"....and their great grandson founded the House of Stuart, James I of England."

This statement is obviously wrong. The "House of Stuart" was ruling in Scotland for about 200 years before James I of England. And Henry VII daughter Margaret is not "found" the House of Stuart, she married into it. Eregli bob 12:30, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Royal House template

As the House of Lancaster is a cadet branch of the House of Plantagenet, is it correct to describe it separately to the House of Plantagenet, in the "Royal Houses" succession template?

The Lancastrians are listed as part of the House of Plantagenet in the List of monarchs of England page, not separately to it, and included in the list of Plantagenet Kings in the House of Plantagenet page.

Equivalent, related comments also raised for the House of Plantagenet, House of York, and House of Tudor "Royal Houses" succession templates.
