[edit] Guy Josselyne

I found this name to be a bit spurious, as it bears no resemblance to 'Bertrand du Guesclin' whatsoever. I typed the name into google, and it came up with an IGN webpage http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/069/069378p1.html describing him as the fictional narrator in Age of Empires II. Indeed, I've found no references to 'Guy' outside the contect of AOE. I've removed it accordingly, but please do put it back if there's any evidence to suggest Bertrand du Guesclin was known by this name. Mon Vier 13:20, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

It does seem unlikely yes. Garion96 (talk) 10:33, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quite likeable

I don't think the phrase quite likeable is particularly communitative. Perhaps someone who has read the books could add something more apt.

I haven't read the books, but I removed the likeable part. Garion96 (talk) 10:33, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 100,000 francs ?

"Du Guesclin was captured and ransomed by Charles V for 100,000 francs."

I assume it's an estimation in modern term, because there were no currency named Franc at this time, right ?  :-)

According to the page on 'franc', they were first minted in 1360, so it is within du Guesclin's time. I've added a citation tag though. Mon Vier 15:52, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
