Personal Appearances of Medieval People Project

[transemacabre]

For those who missed my announcements on the plantagenesta and oltramar comms, be sure to check out my Personal Appearances of Medieval People Project. What did king so-and-so look like? What color were queen such-and-such's eyes? I've collected accounts from as many eyewitness and near-contemporary sources as I could find. And if you've seen the project before, please note I've made major updates recently!

Re: Guido - might be worth mentioning (just so people have a handle on who he is) that he took part in the Second Crusade along with his brother-in-law William the Elder of Montferrat.

Yeah, I'll get that up soon, I was just concentrating on putting him back on. I'm going to go through and clean up a lot of the profiles next.

Re: Guido of Biandrate:
son-in-law of William III of Montferrat

No - son-in-law of Renier I, brother-in-law of William the elder (who is generally numbered as V in modern Italian works).
His wife was a daughter of Renier I and Gisela, but we don't know her name.
