Interesting to see that Richardson can reply to my message when he thinks he
is correct and I am wrong.
It does show how sloppy his translation was, not good when you are a
"trained historian and genealogist". A "strict rendering" surely is
preferred when trying to establish facts, as it leaves no room for doubt.
Especially as many people have only a very limited knowledge of other
languages.

A strict rendering of "qe fu la femme" is "who was the wife [of]."

I was just setting the record straight, that's all.
