Talk:Bianca of Savoy

No definitive source says Gian Galeazzo executed Bernabò

I know of no source the definitively writes that Gian Galeazzo executed Bernabò. Most sources say that he died in captivity with cause unknown, with speculation that his death was either natural or by poison. Peaceray (talk) 16:23, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

form of name in article title

Hello all- Anyone know why we give the subject's name as "Bianca of Savoy"? The mixture of Italian and English strikes me as odd. I would suggest we rename the article to either "Blanche de Savoie" or "Bianca di Savoia". Google Books searches on these strings yield 15,000 and 14,000 hits, respectively, while "Bianca of Savoy" yields 298.

Another note: The French and Italian wp articles give her birthplace as Chambéry, not Pavia. They disagree with each other and en.wp regarding the birth year. Eric ^talk 15:21, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Well, this is English Wikipedia, not the French or Italian version, so an Anglicization of the title makes sense. However, a redirect from Blanche de Savoie & Bianca di Savoia makes sense, & I have added them. Peaceray (talk) 20:13, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

Besides, the original was probably either the Lombard language or the Occitan language, not Italian or French. Peaceray (talk) 20:28, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

@Eric:: Also, I believe "(1337– Pavia, 31 in 1387)" refers to her death in Pavia. Peaceray (talk) 20:39, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

Ray, thanks for your input. I agree as a rule re keeping things in English; just wanted to point out that there seems to be very little written about her in English, so I'm not sure many readers would be looking for "Bianca of Savoy" (or "Blanche of Savoy"). Eric ^talk 03:52, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
