[edit]

I have tried to make a sensical listing of the Merovingian dukes. But it is almost certainly wrong and I have no good dates. Boggis (son of Charibert) died in 688. Hubert was his son. It is said that Hubert resigned the throne to a brother named Boggis. Elsewhere this brother is Odo the Great. Who then is Lupus I? When did Hubert abdicate and when did Odo begin his reign?

I have done a major overhaul of this list, removing some dubious information (better covered in articles), giving a bit of background information regarding the Carolingian Kings and the Hundred Years' War. (However, I did no actual research on this and assumed that the information included was correct).

I also removed the table structure and turned the list into plain text, since the tables seemed to mess up, differing in breadth. If anyone is enthusiastic about tables, he may have a go at fixing it.

I have no information on whether the title Duke of Guyenne was granted after Charles, Duc de Berry. Anyone in the know may add to this. Str1977 ^{(smile back)} 15:07, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Found one at heraldica.org from the 18th century, but that's probably it. Choess 16:02, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Henrys[edit]

Question: The numbering of the Plantagenet Dukes of Aquitaine seems off. For Henrys II and III of England the numbers are listed as II and III, but later in the article Henry IV is referred to as Henry III and Henry V is referred to as Henry IV. I'm not sure if this is an error or if the numbering scheme for the Henrys is different in England vis-a-vis Aquitaine (that might make sense since Henry I of England was never Duke of Aquitaine). Regardless, the numbering is inconsistent and ought to be fixed by someone who knows this better than I.

I renumbered the Henrys as IV and V, for consistency with the succeeding text. Anyone knowing their numbering (if any) as Dukes or Lords can fix it, if necessary. Zaslav (talk) 05:25, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

thanks Zaslav, I do agree it is kind of confusing when the crown and the duchy doesn’t join. As King Henry I wasn’t a duke, the numbers of the kings and of the dukes are in a offset. This also happened during the reigns of King James I and II when the English crown succession joint with the Scottish one. SkinnyboiYeet (talk) 23:46, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
