Notes
Sources
Raymond’s titles, his marriage and his daughter Eleanor’s marriage are from Douglas Richardson, Plantagenet Ancestry (2nd ed., 2011), vol. I, ENGLAND 4, p. 42, a printed genealogy of the medieval royal family and nobility. Sir Bernard Burke’s Peerage (1869) and the first edition of the Complete Peerage, vol. V (1893), under LANCASTER, also name Eleanor as a daughter and co-heiress of Raymond Berenger, Count of Provence.
The emperor’s kinsman
The emperor’s letter of 1232 is cited in Richardson’s notes to ENGLAND 3 (p. 31), from a printed collection of the emperor’s documents (vol. 4, part 1, 1854, p. 380), where Raymond is styled “kinsman” (affinis), a word for a relative by marriage.
