INDEX

Notes

Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (110:23).

As Count of Poitiers, William II.

"William IV of Aquitaine, Strong-Arm ('Fierebras', interestingly enough

one of the sobriquets of the legendary William of Orange), did not share

his father's [William Towhead] temperate ways. His over-indulgence in

the chase and in women gave offence to his spirited wife Emma, the

sister of the king, Hugh Capet. The upshot was two lengthy separations

and ultimately his own taking refuge from the sins of the world in the

religious life, leaving his young son in Emma's care."

--- D D R Owen, *Eleanor of Aquitaine, Queen and Legend*, Oxford

(Blackwell) 1993, p 4-5.
