Talk:Lord Protector

Does anyone out there know if the plural of Lord Protector was Lord Protectors or Lords Protector (as in governors-general)? ÉÍREman 00:33 Apr 26, 2003 (UTC)
- I would tend to say "Lords Protector", but Google only finds 48 examples against 226 "Lord Protectors". I think this may be like an occasion on Who Wants to be a Millionaire where the audience is wrong! :-) -- Arwel 01:03 Apr 26, 2003 (UTC)
Dates
Quote: Oliver Cromwell and afterwards his son Richard Cromwell were the Lords Protector of England, Scotland and Ireland during the period 1649 to 1659. (My emphasis)
Although 1649-59 are the dates for the Commonwealth, isn't it the case that Oliver Cromwell did not assume the title Lord Protector until 16 December 1653? -- Picapica 19:38, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
You're right, Picapica -- I'll change the article. StockholmSyndrome 17:14, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
