[edit] Move

I propose that this page be moved to Hugh of Italy. I present the following reasons in point form:

  • The Manual of Style indicates that monarch should be styled in the form "Name + Ordinal + of + Kingdom". Hugh's kingdom was Italy and he has no ordinal, being the only Hugh ever king of Italy.
  • There is no reason that 'Hugh of Arles" should be used over "Hugh of Provence" except that the former is perhaps a little more common in the English literature.
  • Consistency: some Italian kings seem to be left under their common names, while some appear properly as per the MoS. I will propose these moves on all pertinent pages for medieval Italian kings.

[edit] Sister

If there is some secondary source which is stating that she was Louis the Blind's "sister" it is grossly overstating it's sources. It is believed, based on deductions from other statements that she is possibly a daughter of Boso by some prior, unnamed wife or mistress. There is no contemporary source stating the relationship exactly. Wjhonson 23:20, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
