Are William Guillaume I De Provence-68 and Guillaume Arles-48 the same person? I ask because De Provence-68's bio indicates his parents are Boso Arles and Constance Vienne and his grandparents are Rotbald Provence and E. Aquitaine. Those are also Arles-68 parents/grandparents.

D'Anjou-161 and Anjou-1 appear to represent the same person because: Same date of death, same husband under a different name

D'Anjou-162 and Anjou-1 appear to represent the same person because: Same date she died, same name - Anjou is the preferred LNAB according to naming standards. Same husband though under different names

D'Anjou-162 and D'Anjou-161 are not ready to be merged because: They should both be merged into Anjou-1

Her last name wasn't "Reine de France". As most of us know, they didn't even use surnames back then. However, in order to track them in our databases, we need something. I really believe your EuroGroup (or whatever it is called) should use the 'names' that are commonly used by the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography as well as numerous scholars and authors for all of these. On that note, her 'surname' would be 'of Anjou', as she is known as Adelaide of Anjou, her father having been the Comte de Anjou. I've spent several years working on my medieval genealogy... Would be happy to join the group if possible. Adelaide is my 30th great-grandmother!
