[edit] Did you know?
I found some of the facts in this article interesting enough to nominate it for the front page's Did you know? section. LeaHazel : talk : contribs 17:49, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, I have now had a look at the French version (via google), and it appears rather different. She was apparently spared the charge of adultery, and was able to return to Court, thanks to her mother's influence (it would appear that the evidence against her was less damning); she was then crowned as Queen in 1317 with her husband, and they continued conjugal relations, rather surprisingly, until the King's death. However, the situation of a disgraced wife nonetheless Queen is true for her sister and sister in law. Michaelsanders 18:25, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- And the comment on WP:DYK says the article needs sourcing (I guess we know why). Well, it was worth a shot. LeaHazel : talk : contribs 10:34, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- The article is incorrect. No sources say she was charged with adultery. She was only a witness to the adultery and was banished from court for a short time because she failed to report what she's seen. The king at the time, Phillip IV, conducted surveillance of the suspects. Jeanne's name was clear, but she was seen as aiding her sister and sister-in-law.
