In the bald list of dukes, the reader takes for granted that these are all in the reference, which is Charles Oman. The reader could expect that any additional duke added to the list would have some note of some kind appended to his name, to justify his presence. If this is as it is, then no problem! --Wetman18:03, 5 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
Actually, the source for the list was Foulke. So I added that source. I don't know why I didn't add it when I made the article. I suspect Foulke's list is a complete catalogue of what we know about the time, but I may be wrong. Srnec19:18, 18 August 2007 (UTC)Reply
When I created the article I was under the impression that "Rule of the Dukes" was a proper noun, a term used to define a period in the transitional history of Italy from Roman to Lombard. It was not intended to be a descriptive title. Britannica puts the phrase in quotation marks. I thought Hodgkin and Oman used it too, but I'd have to look it up.
