Talk:Charles, Duke of Orléans

Untitled

Married Isabelle of Valois in 1406, had a child, she dies in childbirth, he remarries in 1410...but he is born 1394? Is this a case of early marriage, or messed up birthdate?165.123.134.129 (talk) 18:06, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Whaat? he was usually second in line to the throne. How was that not high?? Arrigo 22:01, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Palio di Asti

On Italian wikipedia, in the article it:Palio di Asti, I find the following (my translation): {quote|"In 1439 Charles, Duke of Orléans, visiting the County of Asti that he inherited from his mother Valentina Visconti, offered as a prize a palio of crimson velvet, decorated by three golden lilies on a blue background."}}

Since Charles was released from prison in England in 1440, this is clearly an error. Does anyone know the correct year for this event? Piedmont (talk) 12:32, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Major poet

The article does not say anything about Charles' fine and important poetry.

That is indeed a pretty glaring omission. john k (talk) 13:28, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Pressing Asti's claims.

The following sentence passes a judgement on Charles' performance in doing so without giving any background information.

He made a feeble attempt to press his claims to Asti in Italy, before settling down as a celebrated patron of the arts.

Shouldn't an encyclopedia rather provide the background story and leave the judgement to its readers? Unfortunately I'm unfamiliar with this particular case myself, so I can't provide an alternative without doing some research first.

Internal link removed as irrelevant

I removed the internal link attached to the phrase "oath of vengeance" in the first para under "Accession". The article indicates Charles and others swore such an oath regarding the death of his father, but the link went to an article called "Oath of Vengeance" that was exclusively about a concept in Mormon religion and irrelevant here.
