[edit]Joan of Acre was the youngest recorded and documented child of Edward the First, "Longshanks", King of England, and "The Hammer of Scotland." Through her long descendancy to Ursula Hildyard in Yorkshire in the early 16th Century (who married Richard Jackson, the father of Sir Anthony Jackson II and common ancestor to 3 interesting lines of people: Isaac JACKSON, one of the early Quaker converts in Ireland in the late 17th Century and a settler in Chester County PA after 1725; US President Andrew Jackson; and Confederate States General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. Ursula's (and Joan of Acre's) antecedents can be tracked back directly to Rollo the Danish Viking, who raided and settled Normandy in present-day France in the early 10th Century. 64.203.218.234 (talk) 10:52, 29 May 2008 (UTC)wilso127@yahoo.com
This page doesn't conform to the wikipedia biography standards, or indeed tell us anything useful (for purposes other than genealogy) about Joan. Deb 21:27 Apr 16, 2003 (UTC)
- There is a contingent who wants to use wikipedia for genealogy, this looks like one of that sort of entry. I'm ambivalent; "articles" like this are very handy as a way to link more significant people together; otherwise (and there are many articles with this problem) the same historical figure is named differently in different articles, and it can be very difficult to figure if the articles are referring to the same or different persons. When I feel more of the right solution, I plan to push for a more precise policy on this. Stan 22:33 Apr 16, 2003 (UTC)
It's a fair point. But I've amended the article to meet current standards, since its author didn't take the hint. Deb 21:21 Apr 17, 2003 (UTC)
Nice to see the page looking so much fuller. I've standardised the introduction (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies) for some guidelines). Links also need some attention. Deb (talk) 20:57, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Query on Ancestry tree section
[edit]Hello. In the Ancestry tree section, number 31 (at the bottom) is Adele of France but the name links to 'Alys of France, Countess of Vexin'. Just wondering if Adele is a typo? Thanks Mov326 (talk) 05:44, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
