Terms of use

last updated July 2026

Kinlight is offered free, as an archive to read. Using it means reading it on these terms.

Use of the archive

The archive is for personal, educational and research reading. Links and brief quotations are welcome with attribution to Kinlight.

Accuracy

Every entry is drawn from the public historical record — facts grounded in britroyals.com, Wikipedia and the public record, with portraits from Wikimedia Commons. History is contested and records disagree; we make no warranty of accuracy or completeness, so verify before you rely on anything here.

Portraits and sources

Portraits are served from Wikimedia Commons and remain under their own licences, credited in each person’s record. External links lead to sites we do not control.

Our work

The site’s design, code and prose are © Kinlight. The underlying historical facts belong to everyone.

No warranty

The archive is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability arising from its use.

Changes

These terms may be revised; the version published here is the one that applies.
