Talk:Jeanne d'Albret
From Academic Kids
Does anybody really call her Joan III? NO. First, in English, Spanish Juanas are almost always Anglicized (except by Genealogists) to Joanna -- hence Juana la Loca is Joanna the Mad. Second, Jeanne d'Albret is what we call this woman -- this is what popular reference works and scholarly texts most often call her. I'm not saying you'll never see Joan III -- but not nearly as often as Jeanne d'Albret. Please see Wikipedia:Naming conventions if you have questions. I'm reverting it. JHK
Joanna the Mad? I've always heard her called Joan the Mad. But then I'm not an expert historian, just a dabbler -- Zoe
- I've never heard Joan, but it's possible -- I went to college in California, so we just tended to call her Juana la Loca, since most of us Californios knew what that meant, and it's kind of fun to say ;-) JHK
