Talk:Guillaume de Ferrières

New title edit

User:Srnec, and others. I am starting a new article Vidame de Chartres on the title, and the various holders - several of them frankly much better known than this chap. Would you prefer this to move to Guillaume de Ferrières or Vidame de Chartres (poet) or similar? I found this article a touch puzzling - why is the poet known as the Vidame?

Guillaume de Ferrières or even Guillaume III de Ferrières. I think the songs are attributed only to the vidame of Chartres and not to a named person, who thus has to be inferred. Srnec (talk) 23:05, 14 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Thanks - but the Vidame of Chartres is a named person - presumably the uncertainty is whether it was him or his ? father or son? I take it the earliest manuscripts are from some time later. Johnbod (talk) 04:35, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
