IRHB comments

Since this event had to be filed under some place and date, I have assumed the celebration occurred on the wedding day and at Windsor Castle where the wedding took place, but this is of course not certain. The celebration in question may have taken place one of the following days and it may have been in London or Brighouse. The latter is the township in which Kirklees Priory, the alleged scene of Robin Hood's death, was situated. In the 16th century, Kirklees Hall was built on the priory grounds, in part from materials from the priory buildings.
