• ^{I was reading the article on Guillaume Budé. In the section on "Family", it says, "Gillaume was the son of Jean III Budé." I couldn't figure out if it was "Jean the third Budé" or "Jean I-l-l Budé". Now, in edit mode, I see it is "Jean the third Budé". I had never seen a name like that, with "the third" before the family name. Any thoughts about this? - CorinneSD (talk) 00:52, 5 March 2015 (UTC)}
