A request
Since you edit in the area of France, Savoy, etc. Whilst doing your research for sources, could you keep an eye open for any mention of the House of Avesnes involvement at the Battle of Bouvines? Specifically Walter II of Avesnes and Bouchard IV of Avesnes. Thanks. --Kansas Bear (talk) 22:43, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- Kansas Bear, I haven't seen anything in the sources I've been working with, but google books seems to come up with a few, searching on Avesnes Bouvines. Some are French and one is Latin, and my skill in those languages is very basic, but it looks like some have some answers. 1bandsaw (talk) 23:16, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, I have seen those. Hoping your research might stumble on to something. --Kansas Bear (talk) 23:24, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
