Talk:Matthäus Schiner

Whom and what is meant by "the French party"?
It reads:

"During his long absence from home the French party there, under his bitter enemy George Supersax, raised a rebellion and drove him from Sion"

Seems worthy of some background or a byword. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:3031:A900:29CD:B5BF:21EB:278C (talk) 07:46, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

This article states that he was the son of the "Lord of Martigny". The source is the Catholic Encyclopaedia. According to the German Wikipedia article, he was the son of the farmer and carpenter Peter Schiner and Katharina Zmitweg. There are apparently no German-language sources referring to his father as "Herr von Martigny". Furthermore, the house where he was born, in Erlebach, can still be visited today and is rather modest. I have corrected/amended the English-language article to reflect the German but have no reliable source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.143.79.216 (talk) 07:20, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
