The Earl of St. Andrews might get a mention. --Wetman 02:30, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

So might the fact that she had already been married to someone else.

[edit] Excommunication of divorced Catholics

(Although, as divorced Catholics are automatically excommunicated when they re-marry, her status and therefore his make for an interesting case.)

I'm deleting this line, as it's not applicable. A Catholic is not excommunicated when she/he is divorced and re-marries. The penalty of excommunication was imposed by the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1884 and only applied only to American Catholics who remarried after a divorce from a valid marriage. This penalty was lifted by the National Council of American Bishops and the Pope in 1977. Therefore, the penalty of excommunication doesn't apply to divorced or remarried persons.
