[edit] Revision of 13 December

I tried to make the names agree better with Wikipedia policy, and with redlinks elsewhere, and with one or two existing articles. I also revised the earlier genealogy (doubtfully) in line with the details given on the MedLands site (see external links): this makes the three lines descend from Bertrand I, not Bertrand II. If there is evidence against this, my apologies for creating confusion ... Andrew Dalby 17:18, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Further changes

I was tweaking some dates and noticed that "Line 1" made no sense: it ducked off through a female line in Sybille des Baux and disappeared into Valentinois, Clermont-Viennois, etc. I have replaced this part of Line 1 with the Counts of Avellino, who went extinct in male line in 1375. The last count's sister, Alice or Alix, inherited the county and died in 1426, according to FMG, which agrees better with the original author's "declared extinct in 1426" than the descent he himself posted. The genealogies at FMG, genealogy.euweb.cz, and sardimpex.com for this part of the family all agree. Furthermore, we can confidently assert that they were, in fact, Lords of Baux as well as Counts of Avellino, because in 1355, Robert of Durazzo seized Les Baux from Raymond III and caused quite a bit of trouble in Provence before being ejected again.
