[edit] oops

Sorry for all the edit conflicts there. I'll let you get your Adolf Wilhelm, Duke of Saxe-Eisenach article a little more done before I try any book-keeping on it. i kan reed 21:31, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John Ernest V, Duke of Saxe-Weimar

I just read your article John Ernest V, Duke of Saxe-Weimar. The first sentence calls him John Ernest III. One of these must be wrong (I hope the second, otherwise the whole page has to be deleted.) Emeraude 17:28, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 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)
