Background, third paragraph[edit]

This text is incomprehensible as written (conflict between "ignore" and "await/attention") -- does anyone out there know what happened in the conflict at that point? If so, please edit the text for clarity. Thanks from the copy editor. --Remotelysensed (talk) 13:00, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kerpen Moselle[edit]

"Sir Horace Vere had crossed the Moselle in Kerpen to support Frederick V.", there must be some mistake here as Kerpen is not situated at the River Moselle but rather far more to the north at the River Erft. So either the city or the river is wrong. --Proofreader (talk) 18:07, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
