Birth place[edit]

The quick facts section gives a different birth place from that given in the text. Which is correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ianeiloart (talk • contribs) 23:48, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

George Anson[edit]

Can anyone confirm if the George Anson mentioned in In Search of Nomads (and other places) is this one. thePeerage.com seems to suggest this might be the case. Mrabbits 21:00, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I can't answer your question but perhaps it would help others who might be able to answer if you gave the context in which he was mentioned? --Richard Clegg 08:35, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply (and apologies for the lack of context!). Unfortunately, on this subject the book only says, "Jane first had an affair with her cousin George Anson, and then eloped with a dashing foreign diplomat, Prince Felix Scharzenberg". A bit of searching on the website mentioned (assuming it can be regarded a reliable source) seems to indicate this George Anson was indeed her cousin. So I think the answer to the question is probably yes, but I wondered if it perhaps said so in the biography mentioned in the References section. Mrabbits 18:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs to be expanded.The name of her daughter by Felix isn't noted.jeanne (talk) 17:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brigand General[edit]

This Albanian brigand general mentioned as one of Jane Digby's lovers was in fact a Bulgarian, he was called Hadji Christo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zelas2012 (talk • contribs) 20:16, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This person reminds me of Becky Sharp in Thackeray's Vanity Fair. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.216.7.5 (talk) 20:35, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"for her times"[edit]

Considered promiscuous for her times...

I'm no prude, but I suspect she'd be considered promiscuous for most times, including the present. Sca (talk) 14:25, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

King Ludwig I. of Bavaria[edit]

The article boldly states without naming any sources, that she was his lover. The German article says, that according to surviving letters, she was not... --Terminally uncool (talk) 14:06, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Santa Brígida[edit]

After correcting the name of the ship, which was called Santa Brígida and not "Brigada", it has been automatically linked to the corresponding disambiguation entry, where certainly the name-giving saint appears, as well as some places, but not the ship. As a provisional solution, I have added a link there to a Wikipedia page listing all the Spanish sail frigates. Maybe some day a naval expert or historian may create the corresponding entry...
