Talk:Joan of Évreux

Disputable/limited ownership
The article currently states: "two of Jeanne's remarkable possessions survive—her prayer book and a statue of the Virgin and Child." This statement implies that only two of her items are extant and that those were personally and indisputably owned by her. Please note the existence of the manuscript Ordo ad consecrandum et coronandum regem et reginam Franciae (France, c.1326—1330) currently held in the Rare Book & Manuscript Library at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (call number Pre-1650 MS 0124). Physical Description: 23 leaves : parchment, ill. ; 263 x 161 (167 x 106) mm. bound to 269 x 182 mm. A better description of the item and a list of citations may be found in the UIUC Library Online Library Catalog. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MoggieBleu (talk • contribs) 18:59, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Jeanne of Évreux → Joan of Évreux – The page has recently been moved from "Jeanne d'Évreux" to "Jeanne of Évreux". Both "Jeanne d'Évreux" and "Joan of Évreux" are more common than the half-translated "Jeanne of Évreux" (which I also find a bit jarring). "Jeanne d'Évreux" appears to be most common but is used mainly in connection with the Hours of Jeanne d'Evreux. The name "Joan of Évreux" seems to be strongly preferred in English-language history books, including those by historians Kathryn Warner, Elizabeth Hallam-Smith, and Jonathan Sumption.
