Proposed change

I have recently been finding out a fair bit about Thomas' 'public career' (service with Spain against France, actions in the civil war in Piedmont 1639-42, and later service with France), and was wondering if it would be appropriate to add this to the entry. I would also move the reference to his acquiring Conde's offices, which comes at the end of his life, and correct the reference to being 'mortally wounded' at Pavia.

Reference needed for questionable statement in Family section

"Francois Savoie/Savoye Married Catherine Lejeune in 1651 in Acadia, daughter of Pierre Lejeune & Mi'kmaq Indian Woman."

My understanding is that the Francois Savoie who married Catherine Lejeune in Acadia in 1651 has no confirmed parents, and any claim that he was the descendant of Thomas Francis is highly speculative. I would like for there to be a solid reference backing up this claim, if there is one, which I doubt.

I agree that this "highly speculative" conjecture is little more than idle fantasy. Even an illegitimate child of a prince of Carignan is highly unlikely to have emigrated to Acadia to become a peasant farmer, and to have left absolutely no record of his supposed relationship to a royal family. That seems like something that just could not have been completely covered up. I'd like to believe it, but it is just too incredible. Sjledet (talk) 00:10, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

Thomas Francis, Prince of Carignan → Thomas Francis, Prince of Carignano – Carignan is a city in Italy, they were Italian, so why "Carignan"?. '''Attilios''' (talk) 09:27, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
