Regarding William's birthdate, here is the relevent text from the Chronicle of Saint-Maixent for the year 1099: "Willelmo comiti natus est filius, equivoce Guillelmus vocatus." A son was born to Count William, named William like himself. Missi 00:33, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence beginning ‘Despite his love of the arts, William was not a peaceful man’ seems to me to be making an unwarranted value judgement. (Is it universally accepted that lovers of the arts are less likely than others to be violent?) However, as I'm no expert on the subject matter, I'd rather not make a correction myself in this case. (For all I know, it may be that the comment pertains to mediaeval views of the arts, in which case some clarifiication might be useful.) --82.69.86.117 16:37, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, it can hardly be medieval: a lot of warriors were troubadours, William wasn't unique. Maybe the author of that sentence was a pacifist? I'll change it. Andrew Dalby 14:26, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
