A fact from Stephanie of Courtenay appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 4 January 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that when Abbess Stephanie of Courtenay's niece's marriage to the king of Jerusalem was annulled, the court's reasoning was so flimsy that a noted jurist had to ask Stephanie to explain it to him?

... that the chronicler William of Tyre relied on the good memory of the old Abbess Stephanie of Courtenay when he recorded the history of the northern crusader states? Source: Buck (2017), p. 9: "Moreover, in commenting on his conversations with Stephany regarding her years in the north, William stressed that, although she was advanced in years, her memory was reliable for she was a witness to these events."
ALT1: ... that when her niece divorced the king of Jerusalem, the court's reasoning was so flimsy that a noted jurist had to ask Abbess Stephanie of Courtenay to explain it to him? Source: Hamilton (1978), p. 160: "Although the marriage was annulled on grounds of consanguinity, it is difficult to crédit that this was the real reason for objecting to it: the relationship between Agnes and Amalric was such a distant one that William of Tyre, who had been studying overseas when the annulment took place, had to ask the abbess of Sainte Marie-la-Grande to explain the grounds for it to him."
Overall: for ALT1. Thank you @Surtsicna: for writing the page! There doesn't appear to be any problems with newness, sourcing, neutrality, etc. so I'm happy to pass this nom. Personally, I think ALT1 is a little more interesting than ALT0, but both look good. Cheers from North Carolina! Johnson52420:29, 19 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
