Talk:Katherine FitzGerald, Countess of Desmond
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
User:Proteus reverted my revert on the matter of countess v. Lady Desmond. I've reverted again (no reply from Proteus), but simply substituted Fitzgerald. No animus on this - but all the history books refer to countess, and while Lady Desmond may be correct from an English peerage point of view, I've chosen to neutralise the issue for the sake of substantial improvements that otherwise would have been lost.--shtove 01:48, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The figures don't add up
Well, they don't. We have down the bottom a claim from Walter Raleigh that she married between 1461 & 1483. Yet up the top we claim that she was married in 1529. The second figure makes an awful lot more sense, but is unsourced... It makes the 90 year old daughter exceptionally unlikely, but then, she was already. So yes, this article contradicts itself and doesn't acknowldge it. That's bad practice Furius (talk) 06:25, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
