Interesting struggle of a life, told in detail on fine sources, subscription sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. Both hooks are great, but the original - with the Shakespeare allusion - a bit greater. - I never heard the phrase "welcomed two more daughters", and wonder if it's the right things to say when later incest comes up. May be just me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:26, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
