According to this article and that of Philip, Matthew was 13 years elder than Philip, but in the article of their father Thierry, Philip ranks the first, and in history, it was actually Philip who succeeded Thierry, not Matthew. As they were both legitimate, if Matthew was elder, he should be the eldest son of Thierry and become the successor. What is more, Thierry married their mother Sibylla in 1139, and the first wife of Thierry (Suanhilde) died in 1132, how could Matthew be born in 1130 by Sibylla? Versions of other languages refer that Matthew was born in 1137, but for the sakes above, it is also doubtful.——Heinrich ⅩⅦ von Bayern (talk) 03:19, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
