Talk:Joan de Munchensi

Bibbesworth
I think I put this sentence in originally: others added the references:
 * Joan de Munchensi is well known not only for her family connections but also for her patronage of the Anglo-Norman poet Walter of Bibbesworth, whose Treatise, a verse glossary of Anglo-Norman vocabulary, was written at her request for her children's education.

I'm removing it because it's all true except for the crucial point that (as I now see) I got the wrong person. Joan de Munchensi very likely learned French from this book, but the person who commissioned it was her stepmother, her father's second wife, who really was called Dionisie de Munchensi. Dionisie de Munchensi has no Wikipedia article; nor does Walter de Bibbesworth, so there is nowhere to paste this sentence as yet.

This becomes clear if one really reads the articles mentioned in the footnote. Sorry. And rew D alby 19:20, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Joan de Munchensi currently lists his children with his first wife as:

Could someone familiar with this content please correct the errors? Thanks. — Reinyday, 02:41, 19 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Just for clarity, Hastings's first wife was not Joan de Munchensi, but Joan's daughter Isabel de Valence.
 * It's true, as you say, that the children of the Hastings-Valence marriage (Joan's grandchildren) are listed differently on the two pages. Andrew Dalby 13:46, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
