INDEX

[11529] http://www.guide2womenleaders.com offers: "First appointed regent by her father, Emperor Maximilian and acted as intermediary between him and his subjects in the Netherlands, negotiated a treaty of commerce with England favorable to the Flemish cloth interests, and played a role in the formation of the League of Cambrai (1508). Her nephew, Karl V, removed her from office but soon recognized her as one of his wisest advisers, and she was again governor of the Netherlands. In 1529, together with Louise of Savoy, she negotiated the Treaty of Cambrai, the so-called Ladies' Peace. Her mother was Duchess Marie of Bourgogne. Divorced from her first husband King Charles VIII of France, her second husband, Juan, the Crown Prince of Aragón and Castilla, died shortly after their marriage in 1497. In 1501 she married Duke Philiberto II of Savoie, who died three years later. She was also Countess of Artois, Bourgogne (Franche-Comté), Mâcon, Auxerre and Charolais, and Dame de Salins from 1493 as Marguerite III. She had no children . . . ."

INDEX

[5571] Sigfrid is a semi-legendary Viking chief. "Siegfried the Norseman, felt to be a shockingly unsuitable husband, had been created Count Siegfried of Guines by her father when the lovesick Elftrude of Flanders insisted on marrying him" (Beryl Platts, "Scottish Hazard - The Flemish Nobility and their Impact on Scotland" (Procter Press, London, 1985) citing a version of the story in L.C.Hugo "L'Origine de la Maison de Lorraine" (Berlin, 1711). The Historia Comitum Ghisnensium names "Sifridus" specifying that he was of Danish origin and "de eiusdem Walberti cognatione progenitus". His precise relationship with Walbert has not been identified. He was installed as Comte de Guines in 928. m ([960/65]) Elstrude de Flandre, daughter of Arnoul I Count of Flanders & his [second] wife Adela de Vermandois (-966 or or after). The Historia Comitum Ghisnensium names "comes Balduinus sororem…Elstrudem" as wife of "Sifridus". The Historia Comitum Ghisnensium names "comes Balduinus sororem…Elstrudem" as wife of "Sifridus". According to the Chronica Monasterii Sancti Bertini, the couple were never married, their son Ardolf being illegitimate. Cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guînes
