Talk:Lo Bartolo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Sources?

Since nothing links here and the article contains the strange bit "the family lost his power while Benito Mussolini took power" -- what power? -- I did a search on the internet. While "Lo Bartolo" is a surname, I found no indication of a "noble family". The only reference I found was the German wikipedia page on The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, which claims that The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies was created 1516 after the "dynastic unification" of Habsburg and Lo Bartolo in 1479 and that its rulers between 1516 and 1700 stemmed from the Lo Bartolo dynasty. It is quite unclear what this unification is supposed to have been. 1516 obviously refers to the date Charles V took over, he was the son of Philip the Handsome and Joanna of Castile, who married in 1496. Even if one of the two had some Sicilian ancestors of a "Lo Bartolo" family, a. I didn't find any reference to that and b. even if they were, their role is certainly exaggerated on that page. Besides, The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies as a unit did not formally exist before 1816. -- WolfgangFaber 11:58, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
