Gervase de Cornhill[edit]
- ... that Gervase de Cornhill, a medieval English royal official and merchant, loaned money to Queen Matilda around 1143, and when the queen did not repay, got the mortaged lands at Gamlingay instead?

Hook interesting, longish but ok. Hook is cited, refs look fine (AGF) though commas in "King King Stephen p. 190" etc would have been nice. Article clearly written, long enough. (Lead should prob. be extended to reflect body of article.) I guess "Queen [Consort] Matilda" is ok though she wasn't the Matilda who did briefly become Queen.
