Talk:Catherine of Saxe-Lauenburg

message: The image newly inserted to the article is, I believe, not of queen Catherine. As far as I know, they were no painting made of Catherine. The painting in the article now have ben guessed to be of Princess Sophia of Sweden, according to Herman Lindqvist. If you have knowledge of fashion, you can see that the clothes are not from the 1530s, but rather from the period c. 1560-90. The colar of the dress were unknown in the 1530s. --85.226.235.231 (talk) 13:04, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Yes, I understand. But such descriptions are worthless. They were often added many years later, when there was a need of a portrait of this or that person, and any painting was used and had a text added to it. There is, for example, an exact same situation in the alleged painting of Queen Karin Månsdotter. Catherine was a queen, and there was a need of a painting of her, so one simply added the text to a painting from that period. This was common. Such clothes did not excist when Catherine was alive. Anyway: it would be nice with an image, but sadly, one have to accept that there is none. It is a good painting, however, and it should be here on wiki! But for the right person, of course: It is believed to be of Princess Sofia, and it is very nice to have a picture of her! --85.226.44.74 (talk) 23:52, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: In books about the queens of Sweden, it is in fact pointed out, that there is no portrait of her, and that it is not known what she looked like. If this is disputed here, hovewer, then a simple solution would be to simply state in the text of the image, that the painting is disputed to be of either person. --85.226.44.74 (talk) 14:24, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

text: On what do you base your assumptions, please? The only portrait known of Catherine is the sculpture on her tomb. She was only queen for a few years, whereas Margaret was queen for many years. When was Solis active? The Stockholm castle burned down in 1697 and many portraits were lost. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 03:26, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

text: The primary basis is the similarity in appearance and dress of the queens of Denmark and Sweden.    This is copacetic with the sculpture on Catherine's tomb,  particularly her collar, and her son's red hair.
The British Museum date range for the print is 1530 to 1562,  and the Catherine was queen from Sept 1531 to Sept 1535.    Hollstein reports that the mark VS was from the studio of Virgil Solis.  The VS print could easily be
a copy of another earlier work.   Mjjolley (talk) 04:22, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: If the painting is indeed of this Catherine, than it must have been painted about fifty years after her death. The dress fashion is not of the 1530s, but of the late 16th-century. Even when one lacks the necessary information about dress fashion, a quick glance on the 1500–50 in Western European fashion and the 1550–1600 in Western European fashion can tell us this.--Aciram (talk) 13:13, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

message: In its current form, the article concentrates mainly on Fast's life from a political perspective, and skims very partially over his voluminous and varied literary works. He wrote extensively in the genres of history, novelised history, historical fiction, detective fiction, and science fiction (and probably others, I'm not familiar with all of his ouvre, particularly under his pseudonyms). It seems to me that the author of as prominent a work as Spartacus, let alone some of his other novels, plays and poems, must have been the subject of formal critical studies by US (if not other) academics. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.122.56.237 (talk) 09:25, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

I’m looking for an owner, 
who’ll never treat me bad.
Who’ll really truly love me,
and try not make me sad.
Who’ll groom and make me pretty,
and show me off to friends. 
Who’ll play with me and walk me, 
and let me chew bookends.
Who’s always there to feed me,
my health is their concern.
Be gentle and be friendly,
and never be too stern.
Someone who’ll give me shelter,
not tie me with a chain.
Who’ll care for me and help me,
if ever I’m in pain.
An owner who won’t leave me,
on the roadside all alone.
For someone mean and scary,
to steal and take me home.
An owner who won’t force me,
to fight to stay alive.
To be part of a bet,
that I cannot survive.
In return I’ll make you happy,
I’ll be loyal, I’ll be true.
I might even surprise you,
with all that I can do.
So… If you’re all I’ve mentioned,
then please don’t waste your time.
Come over and adopt me,
secure a bond for a lifetime.

message: Should this be page be moved to a different location such as "Claude of Valois" or "Claude, Duchess of Lorraine"? As far as I could see, the main source for the article only ever refers to her as "Claude" or "Claude, Duchess of Lorraine" although I'm aware the spouses of other Dukes of Lorraine are not given a page title featuring "Duchess of Lorraine". Although two are. This does seem to perhaps be a bit of a WP:CONSISTENCY issue even if it is quite low priority.

replies: text: @Gonnym@BilledMammal pinging you both as this is a response to relisting comment. "Valois" is a better disambiguator than "of France" primarily because there is already Claude of France. Furthermore, most daughters of the Valois kings are given the designation "of Valois" rather than "of France", such as Elisabeth of Valois, Margaret of Valois, Duchess of Berry and Madeleine of Valois.
