There must be an error. One can't be Lord Privy Seal between 1470 and 1471, when his lifedate lasts from 1584 to 1656. I defenitely know that he was secretary of exchequers under the rule of Henry VIII of England and Edward VI of England. --Rosa Lux 17:26, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

It's actually quite simple. There are several John Hales, this one isn't the bishop that was Lord Privy. The same odd linkerror is made all over the internet. --Lomedae 22:53, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

Oh dear. On further investigation I have found 3 to 4 John Hales in history, all of them linking to this one bio. I have renamed/relinked all instances of John Hales that should link to another bio. I am confident all links to this John Hales are correct. --Lomedae 23:37, August 17, 2005 (UTC)
