Talk:Blanche of Bourbon

Her Year of Birth
Are we sure that she was indeed born in 1339? After all, this inscription on her tomb (from this article): "CHRISTO OPTIMO MAXIMO SACRUM. DIVA BLANCA HISPANIARUM REGINA, PATRE BORBONEO, EX INCLITA FRANCORUM REGUM PROSAPIA, MORIBUS ET CORPORE VENUSTISSIMA FUIT; SED PRAEVALENTE PELLICE OCCUBVIT IUSSU PETRI MARITI CRUDELIS ANNO SALUTIS MCCCLXI. AETATIS VERO SUAE XXV Christ most supreme and Holy. Blessed Blanche, Queen of Spain, of Bourbon Father, and from renowned royal French lineage, died with a graceful body; Common knowledge judges her fallen by her husband Peter the Cruel in the year 1361 at the age of 25."

--implies that she was born in 1335 or in 1336, rather than in 1339. 128.195.166.19 (talk) 00:15, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
