Talk:Edmund Crouchback

message: Burkes peerage (http://www.burkes-peerage.net/sites/common/sitepages/roking04.asp) recommends 1278 as birthdate for Thomas
:The correct name of the kingdom is simply the Kingdom of Sicily, Apulia was already part of the kingdom, since it included the whole of southern Italy right up to the papal states.  Why is Apulia mentioned separately?  Why not also mention separately Calabria, Capua, Naples and other bits of the mainland part of the kingdom?  ρ¡ρρµ δ→θ∑ - (waarom? jus'b'coz!) 05:06, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I've removed :Category:Hunchbacks from this article. I'm not a scholar of history myself, but since the article didn't mention anything about Edmund's having a hunchback, I went looking for support on Google. Apparently the story of Edmund's deformity was current in the 16th or 17th century, and at that time the epithet "crouchback" was interpreted to mean "hunchback". However, there seems to be no preponderance of evidence one way or the other as to whether the story was told because it was true, or put about falsely because of some kind of intrigue involving John of Gaunt and line of descent. (Personally, I like the crouch="cross" derivation, because it's more interesting.) I wish someone with more knowledge in the field would expand this article. --Quuxplusone 08:45, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Doing a brief Google search, there's reference to it here but I couldn't find anything concrete (though I honestly wouldn't know where to start looking). However it seems more than likely this is the case. It is known that Henry venerated the English saints and that his eldest son Edward was named after the Confessor, so it makes sense that the unusually 'English' name of his second son can be explained by him naming him after Edmund the Martyr, who was a patron saint of England during this period. 2A00:23C6:4182:9500:4987:D325:88F9:445E (talk) 15:06, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

message: I will have to check further when I get a chance, but if I remember correctly, the "Bishop of Romania" should be Gregory of Romagna, who wasn't a bishop or a cardinal, but was a papal diplomat in the 1240s and 1250s. Adam Bishop (talk) 00:33, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

message: According to James Parker (see A Glossary of Terms Used in Heraldry), Edmund (or 'Edmond') Crouchback had an unusual variant of the "three lions" arms in which the three lions shared a head, called "tricorporated". It would be interesting if a historical source (as opposed to a modern heraldic one) could attest to this. Hairy Dude (talk) 05:16, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
