Please add the category Category:Daughters of counts, since her father was also Count of Barcelona. 2601:249:9301:D570:544B:6C9:6D97:A2FF (talk) 01:35, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't think the daughters of kings, or even dukes, should be added to this category. I wish you'd stop these edits. Johnbod (talk) 02:36, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling of name

The article says Catherine "endorsed" variant spellings. That means she specifically favored variations. Is there any reason to believe that? Does any source suggest it? I would guess she simply "used" variant spellings as was usual at the time, and wasn't "endorsing" anything, so the article gives a misleading impression. Zaslav (talk) 15:20, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I've removed 'endorsed'. Celia Homeford (talk) 15:29, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
