I thoroughly agree with Mr. Dijkema as to the general excellence ofGenealogie della dinastie italiane. However, there is what appears to bea significant error in its treatment of the Orsini family ancestral toJacquette de Luxembourg. It says that Romano Orsini was Count of Nola inCampania from the year 1290 (prior to his marriage to Anastasia deMontfort) and shows his Orsini ancestors as lords of Nola for threegenerations before him. Every other source I have seen says that Nola wasgranted to Guy de Montfort by Charles d/Anjou and came to the Orsinithrough Anastasia's marriage.

By the way, I have only recently focused on the fact that Guy de Montfort(Guido di Monforte) is a major character in Verdi's I Vespri Siciliani.It is a gorgeous baritone role. Two lesser characters in the same operaare Bethune and Vaudemont, who I think may have also been ancestors ofJacquette though I have not yet had time to follow this up. Guy also, ofcourse, makes a conspicuous appearance in Dante's Inferno -- not so muchbecause he murdered his first cousin, as because he did it in a cathedral.
