Confusion of John Drummond with Roger Palmer[edit]
The source quoted before the edit on 27/4/2015 says "...an ancient house, built in 1599, in which Lord Castlemain, ambassador from James II. to the pope, is said to have been concealed for some time after the Revolution by a family named Price, to whom he fled for an asylum."[1]. The ambassador to the Vatican was Roger Palmer, 1st Earl of Castlemaine, also a catholic, see this fact in the article, which is supported by citations.

The confusion between Roger Palmer, 1st Earl of Castlemaine and John Drummond, 1st Earl of Melfort which may have affected other aspects of their biographies. This is understandable because Palmer was Earl of Castlemaine, and Drummond (amongst other titles) was Lord of Castlemains. Both were Roman Catholic aristocrats in the service of James II. This has confused Wikipedia editors (myself included, see Talk:Llanfyllin#Refuge/Asylum) and may have confused earlier writers. It is suspicious that both men are said to have been ambassadors to Rome or the Vatican. How certain are we of this? Verbcatcher (talk) 16:37, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In case anyone's still interested :); Melfort's life is far better documented than that of Roger Palmer; we know he served as Ambassador to Rome and in general his details are more likely to be accurate.--Robinvp11 (talk) 14:19, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
