Problems with the sourcing

[edit]

http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ARAGON%20&%20CATALONIA.htm#_ftn261

"Primary sources assign two different parentages to the widow of Vicomte Aimery [VI] who married King Ramiro. The first possible origin is suggested by the Chronicle of Saint-Maxence, which records that "Willelmo comiti…" (indicating Guillaume VII Comte de Poitou) & his wife had five daughters, one of whom married "vicecomiti Toarcensi"[257]. Although this source does not name the Vicomte de Thouars in question, it suggests that the wife of Aimery [VI] was AGNES de Poitou, daughter of GUILLAUME IX Duke of Aquitaine [GUILLAUME VII Comte de Poitou] & his second wife Philippa de Toulouse."

Cites are:

"Chronica Adefonsi imperatoris I, 62, p. 190.; 

However,

"The second possible origin is provided by a fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine which specifically records the marriage of "Aimericus de Theofagiis vicecomes…de Thoarcio" and "Mahaudam [Agnes dicta] ex prosapia sua [=Willelmus Pictaviensis comes]…filia Willelmi de Podio-Fagi qui Franciæ camerarius erat in vita Regis Philippi"

And again:

ES II 58, ES II 76, and ES III 810, which refers to her as the illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Aquitaine. Three different sources, three different origins. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.48.250.140 (talk) 11:49, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
