A fact from Calvin's Case appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 May 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Calvin's Case, an English legal case from 1608, helped establish the principle of birth on American soil as the primary means of acquiring United States citizenship at birth?
The arguements presented at start are flawed or partial as numerous lords held land in both England and Scotland in the feudal times Century including Robert the Bruce who as a result of his land holding of an English manor attended the English king is his campaigns. Maybe this was modified as a result of consequential conflict of interest but that needs clearly stating — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.31.202.145 (talk) 14:04, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This statement is strictly wrong: "Under the feudal system, the allegiance owed to a king by his subjects—connected as it was to the holding of interests in land—ruled out the possibility of any given individual holding land in two different kingdoms." Whoever wrote this has no idea what they're talking about about. This article should be rewritten by others who do. In fact, it had been common verging upon routine for individuals to "hold" land in multiple kingdoms. Notably when the sovereign king(s) of post-1066 England (among others) were literally subjects of the king(s) of France for their duchy in Normandy (and other holdings in what is now France but was at other times various kingdoms). If this case during Stuart era is important, it deserves a non-wrong article. 2600:4040:5AEF:B400:611:C59A:5E97:F9BF (talk) 22:17, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
