[edit] To translate

From Germany: [1]. Tnx in advance. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 00:09, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

added a lot of the content. The article is mostly detailed family relations and youth, the latter part in the netherlands is a bit skipped over. Hence I expanded the youth and marriage, and kept the netherland part from the previous version. A check for the clarity of my writing would be appreciated. -- Chris 73 Talk 02:01, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wedding date

Also, the wikipedia article gave her wedding day as May 6, 1598, whereas a few sources I checked gave it as May 6, 1599. One site states that it was planned for 1598, but was delayed for 7 months due to the death of her father. I have changed the date to 1599, but would be glad if someone could check. -- Chris 73 Talk 07:54, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)

[2] gives 1599. So does [3] and [4]. That seems fairly conclusive, although they all seem to give April 18 as the day. john k 08:22, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

According to the Wikipage Archduke Albert (1559-1621), he married Isabella Clara Eugenia on 1599 April 18, not May 6. One of the wedding dates is wrong. Perhaps the earlier date was the engagement ? -- PFHLai 21:37, 2005 Apr 17 (UTC)
Perhaps different calendars were used (Gregorian calendar vs Julian calendar)? I have witnessed such discrepancies in articles from that time period. A software - or a website - that could compare if those dates refer to the same day could be useful here - perhas this will help [5]. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 22:06, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

April 18 and May 6 would not be Julian/Gregorian equivalents. At any rate, as Catholics in a Catholic country, they would have used Gregorian dates. john k 03:37, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Ready for Prime-Time?

This article reads well, but being a relative newbie I don't know if that means it's ready for Featured Article status, and I don't yet know how to go about nominating it for such. Anyone knowledgeable about this entry know whether it's ready for that yet? Longshot14 18:43, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Always start with Wikipedia:Peer review prior to FAC process. Lack of references is one of the things that definetly need to be addressed before FAC (and PR, too).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 01:43, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Did she have children or not?

Could you please correcte the two completely contradictory paragraphs about her marriage and children?

[edit] Isabella as queen of France

"...Quand nous étions élèves, nous avons appris qu'en l'an 1589 le Parlement de Paris, Cour d'appel de ce temps-là, rendit une décision estimant que la souveraine légitime de la France était l'Infante d'Espagne Isabelle-Claire-Eugénie, fille du roi d'Espagne Philippe II et de la pricnesse Élisabeth de France." an extract.
