Talk:Lucia Visconti

Overhaul
I did a complete overhaul of this article. There were a lot of problems here: — howcheng  {chat} 20:03, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) Far too much detail about the Visconti family, most of which was not relevant to Lucia herself
 * 2) Referring to the subject of the article by her given name instead of her family name, in violation of MOS:SURNAME
 * 3) There was a passage about how Gian Galeazzo Visconti elevated Lucia to nobility, cited to, but that book is actually talking about Galeazzo Maria Sforza and his mistress Lucia Marliani – besides, it doesn't make sense because as the daughter of the Lord of Milan, Lucia Visconti was noble by birth anyway
 * 4) There was a claim that Gian Galeazzo Visconti wanted to pair Lucia with John of Gorlitz, cited to, but that's a misreading of the source: Valentina was now the richest heiress in Europe, and her father lost no time in seeking a suitable husband for her. His first proposal, that she should take the place of Lucia Visconti as the bride of Louis II of Anjou, did not find favour in Avignon. Giangaleazzo then turn to German, and offered her in marriage to Wenceslaus' brother, John of Gorlitz. The "her" in this is clearly Valentina, not Lucia. Furthermore, the Bradley source, which appears to be the most detailed and is cited by some of the other sources, doesn't mention him at all.
 * 5) The text was very repetitive.

Inconsistent date of death?
Stated as 14 April 1424 at the beginning of the introduction, which finishes with "died in 1423".
 * Thanks for catching that. — howcheng  {chat} 07:54, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
