[edit] Wife of Coninxloo?
The sentence "Brueghel later even married the wife of his master" needs to go. Van Mander tells us that Pieter II studied under Gilles van Coninxloo, but there doesn't seem to be any information anywhere that I've seen to suggest that Elisabeth Godelet, his real wife, was earlier married to his master. I am going to fix some of the mistakes on this page. The German version is quite good and provides a fair model. --Stomme 19:48, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
I am certain this previous problem stems from confusing Pieter's father, who married the daughter of Pieter van Aelst, with Pieter Jr. I removed the confusing sentence and added a clear one in its place. I also began adding some additional information. For now it is based largely on the German version. --Stomme 20:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
