Lead text about his execution[edit]

The lead to the article states that "He was executed by Henry VII for his support of Richard III." This is arguably misleading. While he went into sanctuary after fighting for Richard at Bosworth and was wanted by Henry, he was executed after the failed Stafford and Lovell rebellion against Henry VII which took place months after Richard's death and while in favour of a Yorkist restoration, was obviously not aimed at restoring Richard. I think it would possibly be better to saw he was "executed by Henry VII following his fighting for Richard III and his role in the Stafford and Lovell rebellion".

I have now amended the text as suggested. If anyone has any objections I am happy to discuss further. Dunarc (talk) 23:56, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
