[edit] 1911 text is outdated!

Please note that the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition could not take advantage of the four volumes of Orpen which constituted the first serious in-depth historic analysis of the Norman invasion into Ireland. (A lot of research has been published since then too but nothing compares in its overall significance to this milestone by Goddard Orpen.) This means that the text taken from the Britannica is seriously outdated. I've just updated the discussion about his death. The original text assumed him to have died c. 1182 even if we know that he was still alive in 1185. The rest should be checked as well against current literature or preferably written from scratch. Raymond le Gros deserves a better article! --AFBorchert (talk) 23:13, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
