Montferrat family genealogy

I've corrected and expanded upon your edits to the children of William V of Montferrat, Judith of Babenberg and Boniface I of Montferrat. There is no evidence that Cardinal Otto was a son of William V. If he was related to the family (and not just called 'of Montferrat' because he came from there), it is more plausible that he was an illegitimate son either of one of William's sons or of his grandson William VI. His physical activity, journeys & c, late in his life suggest he belonged to a younger generation.

While the vida of Raimbaut de Vaqueiras, written in later 13-14C, describes Beatrice as the "sister" of Boniface I, the songs themselves describe her explicitly as his daughter. Vaqueiras himself is more likely to be correct than the later writer of the vida. One possible explanation may be that the unnamed daughter of William who married Albert de Malaspina may have been another Beatrice, and that aunt and niece have been confused.

It is known that Boniface was married by 1179: when Manuel Komnenos was looking for a husband for his daughter Maria, Boniface and Conrad were both married, Frederick was a priest, and only young Renier was available. In 1186, Niketas Choniates writes, in his Historia that when Isaac Angelos approached the family to find a husband for his sister Theodora, Boniface had recently re-married, but Conrad had just been widowed. The identity of Boniface's new wife is not known. There is a great deal of doubt as to whether the marriage to Eleonora of Savoy (1197) ever happened at all. It is, I think, significant that the trobadors who worked in Montferrat in the 1190s wrote songs to Boniface himself, to his daughter Beatritz, and to his sister Azalaïs of Saluzzo, but never dedicated any songs to a wife.

Relying on other websites for information is not a good idea. I have some rare dynastic histories (by Usseglio and Ilgen), and also the Latin and Greek chronicle texts. Your English is good (better than my Spanish), but please can you not type in block capitals? That is generally interpreted as "shouting". Silverwhistle 22:58, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Agatha

It's nice that you decided to flesh out a theory that I proposed on genealogy.euweb.cz about three years ago, but your edits made the article look very strange. I would welcome another try, though. Best wishes, Ghirla^-трёп- 17:32, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Philipp, Duke of Saxe-Merseburg-Lauchstädt

Why did you revert the copyediting I did to Philipp, Duke of Saxe-Merseburg-Lauchstätt? You also did a cut-and-paste move on the page, when you should have done a move instead. I have done what I can to fix that. --BlueMoonlet 16:17, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Empresses and Queens

Frederick II's son was the legitimately elected King of Germany - when Henry (VII) was elected, Frederick ceased to be King of Germany until he deposed Henry for his disobedience and reassumed the throne. Thus, Constance and Isabella are Queens of Germany as well as Empresses, because their husband held both titles during their marriages to him; however, Frederick was during Yolande and Bianca's lifetimes Emperor but not King of Germany. Thus, they never held the title; instead, the legitimate holder of the title of Queen consort of Germany was Margaret of Austria, wife of the German King Henry VII. As far as I can see, the list represents that. Merry Christmas! Michael Sanders 01:18, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Margaret of Germany

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Margaret of Germany, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Margaret of Sicily. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:26, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Margaret of Sicily

Margaret of Sicily: you can't copy and paste pages like that, you lose the edit history. You need to submit a move request (or possibly a merge request) to move the edit history from Margaret of Sicily to Margaret of Germany; I suggest you ask the editor who placed the message on your user page.

Herleva

What's the purpose of removing the request for citations from the Herleva article? It seems quite reasonable to want citations for those two assertions.Loren Rosen (talk) 03:49, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
