From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the redlinks list from the Dictionary of Women Worldwide: 25,000 Women Through The Ages (2006), listed by occupation, then alphabetically by last name.
Notes:

  • Some blue links remain. Typically this is because the woman listed in the DoWW doesn’t have an entry in English Wikipedia yet, but another person by the same name does. Other blue links may be recently created entries. If you confirm the woman listed in DoWW now has an entry, feel free to remove it from the list!
  • Likewise, if you find that a name redlinked here has an entry under another name, adding a redirect (so the redlinked name will be searchable in the encyclopedia) would be very helpful! The new blue link can be removed as well.

Redlinks from finished sections not yet in Wikidata

There seem to be either errors or contradictions in the following entries which make matching with Wikidata difficult. Please help! d at [1]

  • Gunnhild (fl. 1150s) Norwegian consort - probably Gunnhild, Mother of Kings (Q270541)
  • Ida Plantagenet. (fl. 1175) Countess of Norfolk - probably Ida de Tosny (Q4529990)
  • Irmentrude (d. 820) Countess of Altdorf and founder of the Welf line
  • Chinchon, Ana, countess of (1576–1639) Spanish countess - see background at [2]
  • Elisabetta Montefeltro (fl. 15th c.) ??Confusion of Giovanna Montefeltro (fl. 15th c.) & Elisabetta Montefeltro (1471–1526)
  • Guzman, Eleonore de (d. 1512) - I think there were some errors in thepeerage.com that got imported into Wikidata, because she is omitted.
  • Matilda (fl. 680s) Queen of Austrasia - not sure, think this has been superseded by later scholarship?
  • Constance / Empress Constance (d. 305 CE) - apparently wife of Maximin Daia, but I don't know where the name Constance comes from / this might be part of the legend of Saint Catherine of Alexandria?
  • Isabelle of Cornwall / Isabelle of Cornwall, Marquise of Montferrat (fl. 14th c.) - family relations here look confused against WP
  • Galiana - is this a real person? Here’s an 1882 reference which I think might connect to Palacio de Galiana, Toledo? Hardly dispositive... **
  • Irene of Byzantium (d. 1067) - biographical details given don't match WP **
  • Lucy de Blois (d. 1120) - can't figure which child of Stephen, Count of Blois this is, there appear to be some contradictions between this source, WP and WD — I thought it must be Lucia-Mahaut from that entry (and not Agnes because Hugh III of Le Puiset and Hugh de Puiset have sources indicating Agnes had a child in 1125 and died in 1129, i.e. lived past 1120); however I see WD doesn’t have any variant on Lucy/Lucia...
  • Maria (fl. 1200s) - some errors or contradictions here. Per Elena Asenina of Bulgaria, could be Maria Doukaina Laskarina, called Maria Vatatzaina on Nikephoros I Komnenos Doukas? The DoWW entry may be a bit misleading as it gives only the date of her husband’s death but WP suggests she predeceased him but 30+ years.
  • Reinhild (fl. 8th c.), textile artist/designer – it seems like this DoWW entry might be about the person with the WP entry but can’t confirm one way or another
  • Elfthrith (fl. 7th c.), scholar – perhaps the Alfthritha mentioned at Repton Abbey rather than the blue-linked person, who is described separately in DoWW but seems to have all the same aliases (Alfthritha isn’t one for either of them, but it’s not far...)
  • Preslava of Russia (fl. 1100), queen; seems to be some contradictions between this and Felicia of Sicily
