Talk:Alice of Saluzzo, Countess of Arundel

Birthdate
I keep seeing a birthplace of 18 May 1269 on various Internet sites. Can anybody confirm this date with a reliable source? Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 17:26, 23 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Almost certainly bogus. Someone creates a date either through error or because they can't stand not to have one, and it spreads through the internet genealogy sites like Omicron. I seriously doubt there was a chronicler reporting the precise birthdates of the (non-heir) children of the Margrave of Saluzzo at this time, and I can't think of any other source from which such a date would derive. Even the year is probably just an approximation extrapolated from more strongly dated events (the birth of her heir, for example), but such rough approximations tend to solidify into certain dates over the course of transmission through the online genealogy echo chamber.
