[edit] Confused
The following statement is confusing:
- "Her reign mas marked by the power in the court of his numerous favourites and lovers, the first being Pandolfello Alopo."
What is meant? Is Pandolfello his first lover or his first favourite? It sounds like a masculine name, so I assume the latter, but was William homosexual? Srnec 20:50, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

- I would guesses that his lovers are also his favorites, and that he was homosexual, from the context. Usually "mistresses" is used for female lovers. john k 23:19, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- More importantly, though, why would the favorites of her dead husband be important in his widow's reign? Perhaps it should be "the power in the court of her numerous favourites and lovers." ? john k 23:20, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
