Untitled
editabout the kids--yes, obviously it's either a birth date or a death date, but I'm on my way out & don't have time to look it up. Could the original contributor please elaborate? thanks, Koyaanis Qatsi
Born in Aix-en-Provence? The citizens of Forcalquier seem to think she was born there, Forcalquier is known as the `City of four Queens' and she is listed as one of them. There is a plaque at the west entry to Forcalquier which says so.
Hey,Numerous Issues: She still reigned after her death ? 5 children: 2 sons + 4 daughters (stated in text) ? Structure and text not up to Standard... So if there is anybody who knows what's what, please improve this site or at least flag it. 79.196.198.133 (talk) 11:25, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
List of ancestors
edit- A list of Eleanor's ancestors is needed for the article.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:37, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
In the dutch version the grandparents and great grandparents on the savoy side are listed as the same. DianneTimmerman (talk) 06:46, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
huh?
editWhat does "confident consort" mean? Does it mean she had a pretty good opinion of herself? Also "mourned him dearly". You love someone dearly, you don't mourn them dearly -- not in English at any rate. 4.249.63.153 (talk) 16:46, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
- I made a few changes to the article, but it needs more work and considerable expansion.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:05, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
Nursery Rhyme
editIs it worth mentioning that she's the 'my fair lady' in the nursery rhyme 'London Bridge is falling down' when 5 arches collapsed in 1282. She had been gifted the bridge by her late husband Henry III but had spent the toll revenue elsewhere and failed to maintain the bridge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.224.104.126 (talk) 19:19, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
- Is there a reliable source that discusses that connection? Schazjmd (talk) 19:52, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
Already a small intestine?
editI note Eleanor was jamque duodennem - do we mean jamque duodecim? A duodennum appears to be a small intestine. Jim Killock (talk) 15:58, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, so this word does exist, my apologies. Jim Killock (talk) 16:02, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
