Sources with Inaccurate marriage information

note:: ES II #131 [WTM- Isenburg, first edition] gives incorrect date of 2 Oct 1380 [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v20-186(281)]

Research Notes:
her father had sent an embassy to negotiate her marriage with King Richard II of England, but then decided to marry her to his nephew Gian Galeazzo instead [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v20-186]

her regency following her husband's death was marked by strife between Guelph and Ghibelline lords and a nobles revolt, ended by her imprisonment at Monza by her son, Giovanni Maria, where she died under suspicious circumstances [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v20-186]

to clear himself of the suspicion that he had ordered her death, Giovanni Maria accused the castellan of Monza of murdering the duchess and had him executed [Ref: Thompson CharlesII v20-186(283)]
