Funny as it might ...Hi Kathryn, another great post! Funny as it might be: there is another date for Margaret's death, that is more broadly accepted in French archives. According to them, Margaret died on 30 April 1315, murdered or left to die in her freezing cell (the winter in 1314-1315 was reportedly very cold). Indeed, a death (likely a murder, given the close timeline) on 15 August 1315, less than a week before Clemence of Hungary's marriage to Louis X, seems very unlikely to me. Personally, I doubt Clemence's family would have accepted her to leave Naples if her future husband was still married (particularly given there was no pope elected at that time to dissolve Louis and Margaret's marriage).Antoinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14212905443881571698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-68050711595477565942009-08-15T14:11:24.676+01:002009-08-15T14:11:24.676+01:00Thank you, Hannibal!

Yes, it does look a little strange to my English eyes...;) But good to know the proper French way to pronounce it!<br /><br />By the way, are you the same person who left a comment on my website a few days ago about the Lament of Edward II poem? If so, can you please get back in touch - I'd love to write back to you, but you forgot to leave your email address!

First of all, "Eudes" is a one syllabe name. About the "Eu", the sound is quite similar of the the english article "a" (a house; a man; a table, etc, etc) or the sound "a" as you find it at the begining of the words "appeal", "alive" or "across"; about the final "des", just pronounce the sound "d" alone : never pronounce the final letters, "es". So, just say something like "a-d". I know : it must look strange to you ;-)…hannibalparishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614431332668849558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-54635937162619287922009-06-19T05:56:17.914+01:002009-06-19T05:56:17.914+01:00Thanks, Kate!

So much information...Amazing women...amazing post. So much information, thank you. I wonder the same about Charles IV - do you think he would have accepted his son once his wife's adultery became known had the boy lived? Would he save face and just accept? A very interesting question, and fun to wonder about the 'what ifs'.<br /><br />Alianore how would you pronounce Eudes?Kate Plantagenetnoreply@blogger.com
