Talk:Mary de Bohun

Untitled

Sorry, but the picture is not Mary de Bohun. It's just an illustration from her Prayer Book, showing Abigail, the wife of King David... That's why she's kneeling in front of a group of soldiers ("Abigail attempted to stop David from taking revenge against Nabal", her first husband)... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.226.245.146 (talk) 13:00, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Monmouth

Ever since its first version in 2003 this article has said that Monmouth was "one of her father's possessions". Was it, though? I would have expected it to be one of her husband's possessions, inherited via his mother Blanche of Lancaster from his maternal grandfather Henry of Grosmont, 1st Duke of Lancaster, who is said to have partly rebuilt the castle. I haven't yet found confirmation online. Does anyone have a source? Andrew Dalby 20:33, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

According to Keith Kissack (The Lordship, Parish and Borough of Monmouth, p.68): "When Henry of Grosmont died he left his estates to his daughters, Maud of Bavaria, who received Monmouth, and Blanche, who had married John of Gaunt at the age of 12. Maud returned from abroad to take up her inheritance, but died on Palm Sunday in 1362 leaving her inheritance to John of Gaunt...... Blanche, like her sister, died young and on her death her great fortune passed to her husband who had been created Duke of Lancaster.... Blanche bore one son before she died, Henry Bolingbroke, earl of Derby. In 1381 he married Mary de Bohun, joint heiress of the Earl of Hereford. She inherited in 1384 and three years later gave birth in Monmouth Castle to the future Henry V.". So, yes, it was one of Henry Bolingbroke's possessions, not that of her father. I'll correct it.

Unreliable sources

Is there any generally accepted advice regarding physical books printed with ISBN numbers by established publishers that are nevertheless regarded as 'unreliable'? I've been editing other Wikipedia articles to add references to books such as "Brewer's British Royalty" by David Williamson and "Britain's Royal Families: The Complete Genealogy" by Alison Weir, so I'm distressed to read in the history of this article that I may have been doing the wrong thing because apparently they belong to a class of blacklisted sources. Are such books devalued because of specific instances of inaccuracies (such as Weir listing Joan as Richard of York's first child?) or because the authors are regarded as 'unqualified'? I can appreciate, for instance, that an e-book I bought for 99p (The Wars Of The Roses: A Captivating Guide To The English Civil Wars) is not a publication deserving to be referenced on Wikipedia: it even has a disclaimer saying it is 'for entertainment purposes only'. And similarly no-one would quote the popular fictional novelisations. But where do you draw the line? Are Williamson and Weir's books also 'for entertainment purposes only'?
