Bonne de Savoy who married Galeazzo Maria Sforza, 1444 - 26 Dec 1476
[father of Caterina, b 1462] in 1468. Referring to 'The Medici' by Col. GF
Young, 1910 [he credits Count Pasolini's 'History of Catherine Sforza'] she
was the sister of Louise, b 11 Sep 1476 - mother of Francis I K. France,
1515. However according to the CD ROM Nobility of the HRE [quoting ES II,
table 194 - the earlier edition had only 144 so I can't check it] she was
Louise's aunt. Either way she would appear to have been either too old or
too young.

Can anyone please shed some light on this confusion.

Regards,

Don McArthur.
