No the 'genealogical lineages' comment it's just a standard sentence you see on some profiles, can't remember if it's added by someone or relates to The Royal Line source (which in no way can be described as Good, nor Royal and Noble Genealogical Data as Excellent). She is the last Carolingian of the family of Counts of Vermandois and I presume that is what that statement refers to?

The Count of Meulan and de Warenne marriages are actually those of her daughter Isabelle/Elisabeth but it is very confusing.

I'll see if I have time this weekend or in Christmas/New Year period to clean it up.

Shirlea I presume the comment about "genealogical lineages" refers to inheritances and male lines, but I have no idea how this sentence (in the sources section) is meant to apply in the article, which I think needs work. Perhaps it is related to the sentence "last member of Carolingian dynasty". How she can be defined this way is unclear and should be explained.

I also notice two marriages are the first marriage, for example. The article overall is opaque including the sources.

Just wondering -- what does this statement in the sources section of her profile mean?

"Genealogical lineages may not always be from father to son, especially Houses of Kings"

Capet-160 and Vermandois-339 do not represent the same person because: One is male and the other is female. From looking at them Capet-160 is the husband of the other Vermandois-339. I think that there is another match for Vermandois-339 but it is not this one.
