Talk:Margaret of France, Queen of England

key city

 * After five years, a truce was agreed, under the terms of which Edward would marry Margaret, would regain the key city of Guienne, and receive £15,000 owed to Margaret.

What was the key city of Guienne? Bordeaux? —Tamfang (talk) 06:22, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Blanche who?
"But Edward decided that he would marry Blanche at any cost..." The article is about Margaret of France. Who is Blanche? 4.249.63.153 (talk) 16:58, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It's all in the article. Blanche = Blanche of France, Duchess of Austria, the elder sister of Margaret. Edward originally wanted to marry her, but he was deceived by her brother, Philip IV of France, when he arranged a marriage for Blanche with an Austrian duke. Edward was then offered the hand of Blanche's younger sister as an appeasement but took offense at that because she was still a child. He then declared war on France. Ironically, as part of the peace settlement ending the war he still married Maragaret... -- fdewaele, 20 April 2011, 19:25 CET

-- This appears to be incorrect. The Anglo-French War that started in 1293 began because of a dispute over Gascony, not because of marriage negotiations. In fact, the marriage negotiations appear to have been a sham, to lull the English into "temporarily" turning over control of most of Gascony as part of a package deal that would include the marriage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.170.187.20 (talk) 06:03, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Contradictory
We have noticed a few things: nowhere in the Commons image description or the source website does it say "tomb effigy". The image appears to be from Lincoln Cathedral. The sentence about the destroyed tomb, added in 2012, has WP:NPOV problems: "beautiful" is subjective, and it uses passive voice without saying who destroyed it. There is a (partial) source for the destruction: so we propose to re-add this source, reduce the sentence to something neutral, and remove "Tomb effigy" from the caption of the photo.

 * Sounds good. What's the title of Weir's book? Thanks. Celia Homeford (talk) 08:25, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
