about the kids--yes, obviously it's either a birth date or a death date, but I'm on my way out & don't have time to look it up. Could the original contributor please elaborate? thanks, Koyaanis Qatsi

Born in Aix-en-Provence? The citizens of Forcalquier seem to think she was born there, Forcalquier is known as the `City of four Queens' and she is listed as one of them. There is a plaque at the west entry to Forcalquier which says so.

Hey,Numerous Issues: She still reigned after her death ? 5 children: 2 sons + 4 daughters (stated in text) ? Structure and text not up to Standard... So if there is anybody who knows what's what, please improve this site or at least flag it. 79.196.198.133 (talk) 11:25, 5 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

List of ancestors

edit
A list of Eleanor's ancestors is needed for the article.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:37, 22 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

In the dutch version the grandparents and great grandparents on the savoy side are listed as the same. DianneTimmerman (talk) 06:46, 20 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

huh?

What does "confident consort" mean? Does it mean she had a pretty good opinion of herself? Also "mourned him dearly". You love someone dearly, you don't mourn them dearly -- not in English at any rate. 4.249.63.153 (talk) 16:46, 20 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

I made a few changes to the article, but it needs more work and considerable expansion.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:05, 20 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Nursery Rhyme

edit

Is it worth mentioning that she's the 'my fair lady' in the nursery rhyme 'London Bridge is falling down' when 5 arches collapsed in 1282. She had been gifted the bridge by her late husband Henry III but had spent the toll revenue elsewhere and failed to maintain the bridge.  Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.224.104.126 (talk) 19:19, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Is there a reliable source that discusses that connection? Schazjmd (talk) 19:52, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Already a small intestine?

edit

I note Eleanor was jamque duodennem - do we mean jamque duodecim? A duodennum appears to be a small intestine. Jim Killock (talk) 15:58, 4 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ok, so this word does exist, my apologies. Jim Killock (talk) 16:02, 4 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
