Margaretha von Waldeck story

[edit]

Can someone read Sander's book again and rewrite this section? The current text makes no sense whatsoever. For example, her stepmother was already dead for 3 years before she left for Mary of Hungary's court in Brussels and "to move away to Wildungen/Brusels" merges the place where she came from and some of her father's mines were (Bad Wildungen in the Principality of Waldeck and Pyrmont, now in Germany) and the court her father sent her to (Brussels in the Habsburg Netherlands). It also conflicts with the German wikipedia entry, which has many people falling for her at the court, including Philip II. He's more of a suspect than a hero prince there. And Philip's father, Charles V, was a native Flemish guy and the Holy Roman emperor, not some distant king of Spain. Afasmit (talk) 19:43, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just went ahead and changed it, though I've used a secondary source (Dekker). Afasmit (talk) 23:12, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
