Mistakes in spelling of names of bishops edit

Translating names from other languages is dangerous. A number of bishops who are said to have been "of" a place, actually were members of a family called DE so-and-so. For example, DE CHALLANT, DE ROUGEMONT, etc. If one is looking for Challant's birthplace, he would be Guillaume of Aosta. Lorenzo de' Medici was NOT Lorenzo of Medici. And the Marquis de Sade was not the Marquis of Sade.
