The kings of France: Daniel de Rauglaudres site
After presenting Jean-François Campions site, here is Daniel de Rauglaudres, also dedicated to the kings and queens, although not limited to them.
As the one studied before, this site, which deals, among others, with the Capetiens, it is in fact a broad, multilingual compilation, which has had 147,971 visits since June 3, 1998. Its greatest merit is to instantly provide, upon demand, a statement, as complete as possible, of more or less notorious family ancestors and descendants, among which our Capetiens take a solid position.
It partially responds to the issue found by genealogists which are fond of important feudal filiations: should Aliénor (also known as Eléonore) of Aquitania (1122+1204), Queen of France and then of England, be considered of Poitou, due to the fact that she originates from this family, being the daughter of the 7th Count of Poitou who became the 10th Dike of Aquitania, or should she be considered of Aquitania? In this particular case which I do not agree with, Daniel de Rauglaudre classifies her as an Aquitania, while, judiciously, he also classifies the first Capetiens as of Capet and not of France, clearly differentiating them from the Valois and Bourbon. And what about the Anjou-Sicile that we often find in Naples (kings of)? As regards the Bavière (Bavaria), some of them are of Wittelsbach and other of Bavaria, and the same in the case of the Hainaut and Flandres.
I do think that an International Convention should be held In order to solve these new contradictions, in order for a member of the Austrian family to be, a Habsburg (v.), or a Habsbourg (de), and thats it. The examination, in comparison with other sites, of the information it provides, shows some small omissions, such as, for instance, the exact dates and places of birth and death of Charles VII (Paris February 22, 1403 + Mehun-sur-Yèvre July 21 or 22, 1461), which are everywhere.
They are nevertheless made up for by the amount of specific information impossible to find elsewhere: the exact wedding date of Guillemette of Luxemburg with François of Vienna (April 8, 1532), or, the exact place and date of the later (Condrieu June 10, 1515). Truth arises from contradictions: this site, similarly to that of Jean-François Campion, provides, for Charles Vs 12th and 13th degrees of descendants: Henry VII of Luxemburg and Marguerite of Brabant. Others state Valeran the 1st of Luxemburg and Jeanne of Beaurevoir. What do the readers think? Whatever their opinion, the later can surf all the way to the horizon through this extremely complete ancestry information, and even could have the satisfaction of providing an additional brick to this fairly ambitious building...
