[edit] Engaged to Hugh X or Hugh IX?
People have been reverting this back and forth without arguments. Perhaps it would be nice to have some justification for both positions here in the talk page? Causantin 23:27, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Her former fiance was Hugh X of Lusignan and not Hugh IX of Lusignan.
Hugh IX, father of Hugh X of Lusignan, was already married with MATHILDE d'Angoulême. See Généalogie des comtes de Lusignan http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Papydenis Papydenis 16:16, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Confusion between father and son. In his book Histoire de la France et des Français au jour le jour (page 33 tome 2 de 987 à 1240), the French historian Alain Decaux says this : "Certains historians claimed without certainty, that Isabella of Angoulême, become widowed of John of England, married Hugh X of Lusignan the son of her former fiance, Hugh IX of Lusignan. Others maintained this incredible legend". No sure and reliable source comes to support it. It is Hugues X, the son of Hugues IX, who was promised in marriage in 1200 and who married to Isabelle when she became widowed of John, her kidnapper.
