Infobox edit

The infoboxes shouldn't be more than a third the size of the article; in this case a stub. Adding her issue made it too large and also unnecessarily duplicated the list of her issue. Deleted her issue in the interests of keeping the infobox. For more info see MOS:Infoboxes and also WP:DIB Bearpatch (talk) 04:30, 15 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Judith of Rennes, b. 992 edit

I returned the deleted information and cited it. She’s called Judith of Rennes by many modern historians (e.g. Keats-Rohan, Jean Dunbarton, Christopher Harper-Bill, Heather Tanner, Bernard Bachrach, Elisabeth van Houts, et al.) and as a help to readers doing any follow-up by listing an alternate name she’s know by. It was also not at all unusual for people of this time period to be known by more than one name for a variety of reasons. Her brother Geoffrey held the hereditary title of Count of Rennes but styled himself duke of Brittany, a title French kings would not recognize as legitimate until 1213. Still, she's more commonly known as Judith of Brittany. As for a date of birth for her, a valid secondary source cited her date of birth as “* 992”.

Proof that the ladies of Brittany commonly had hunchback. . edit

"Leaden sarcophagus of Judith of Brittany a.k.a. Judith de Conan (982–1017). The sarcophagus was made in the 11th century and found in the 19th century in the foundations of the church of the abbey Notre-Dame in Bernay. The skeleton in the sarcophagus was that of an important woman of small body height with a congenital deformation of the haunch. Deformations of this kind were common among women of Brittany, sometimes, but not always, making it impossible for them to give birth to children."

You offer absolutely no evidence for this claim. If there is none. You should be barred from Wiki editing ASAP. I would also suggest, if there is no evidence for your claim. You go take a long hard look in the mirror. 2A02:C7E:4E01:AE00:81AF:70EF:B403:367E (talk) 10:54, 11 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
