Maiden name

[edit]

Was she really born Consuelo Suncin Sandoval Zeceña of Gómez?

Surely it would have been either de Gomez, or y Gomez. No?? JackofOz 04:22, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

After looking at the links, it is clear that Gomez was not part of her maiden name at all. It was her first husband's surname. I have removed it accordingly. JackofOz 02:30, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Missing and conflicting details

[edit]

Stacy Schiff's Saint-Exupéry: a biography has quite a bit of interesting info on Consuelo. Among other things, she reports that Consuelo's account of their meeting and courtship varied wildly from one telling to the next, and that details (and date) of her birth varied considerably as well. I read only the first few pages of info about Consuelo (I'd actually just been looking to see if I could pin down the town of Armenia as to its location within El Salvador), but also noted it mentions a husband prior to the two who are presently mentioned in the article, a fact alluded to by the person who posted to this article-discussion page a few years back. While reviews of the book sometimes claim it's tedious in its writing style or details, none seem to allege any disagreements over its accuracy. It might be worth reading to see what could be added to this biographical article. Lawikitejana (talk) 08:30, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

She was Salvadorean-Argentine, not French. she took the Argentine nacionality (you can read that in the spanish entry), she married as Argentine and in the book of Alain Vircondelet "Antoine y Consuelo de Saint Exupéry, a legend love" says that living in Paris, she presents herself as argentine. She never refuse the Argentine nacionality, maybe she took the French too, in that case is Salvadorean-Argentine-French (in the order she took nacionalities) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.250.44.40 (talk) 02:20, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Countess

[edit]

I removed here and on Antoine de Saint-Exupéry references to Consuelo being a countess at the time of her marriage -- I am not a subject matter expert but am I not correct in believing that El Salvador lacks a titled aristocracy, and that she became a countess only on her marriage to Saint-Exupéry?

Willhsmit (talk) 22:08, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, although she was from a wealthy family there were no hereditary titles I am aware of in El Salvador. Her title of Countess came with her marriage to de Saint-Exupéry. -- 65.188.196.37 (talk) 18:41, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Saint Exupéry without hyphen?

[edit]

@Heron, Harryzilber, and Willthacheerleader18: All the other family members are written Saint-Exupéry with a hyphen. Is there a reason for her being the only exception, or is it a mistake? If the latter is true, please correct the mistake. Thanks, Arminden (talk) 14:39, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

She should have the hyphen. I have moved the page to correct the name. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 14:27, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hélène de Vogüé

[edit]

What is the point of including the biography of Hélène de Vogüé in the entry? She seems to have almost nothing to do with Consuelo. I suggest to delete it. --Severian79 (talk) 15:50, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Done - I agree and removed the information irrelevant to the subject of the article.  • Bobsd •  (talk) 15:59, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hélène de Vogué

[edit]

Why is there an article about a whole other person under the section "Career?" in this article? Or am I going crazy and missed something? 178.197.235.213 (talk) 14:42, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
