Genealogy
edit@Surtsicna: I insist the grandparents are of importance. She for instance was the first empress of the Orthodox Byzantine Empire, and then a prominent figure in the obviously Roman Catholic Latin Empire of Constantinople, a short-lived Crusader creation, not long after the 1054 Great Schism, and mentioning that she was the granddaughter of Crusading chief adventurer Raynald of Châtillon puts it into an interesting perspective. As does the fact that she was the granddaughter of a Rurikid (Viking-origin ruler of an Orthodox Slavic state). It creates the right impression of the fluidity of areas of influence between religions, denominations, ethnicities and empires, far remote from our modern thinking, which is exactly what helps understand Margaret's life and fate.
Already in principle: it's an article about a medieval royal figure, and genealogy is highly relevant for such, probably more so than for anyone else.
Let's drop the personal approach and go about it logically. I'm not into WP rules, but I think it's not only a matter of common sense that removing a bit of valid, useful info isn't a good thing to do. And yes, it's not well-viewed and accepted here on WP either. And if nothing elese, it's not about a weighty, overly detailed questionable paragraph, but about just two short genealogical statements. Let's get real. Cheers, Arminden (talk) 07:43, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: the information about grandparents is already in the "Ancestry" table below. I suggest, if there is also to be a paragraph about it, we need to explain its relevance. The argument about cross-cultural influence and fluidity, above, is really important, and somehow, if there are relevant sources, it needs to emerge in the text.
