Death year[edit]

I've seen always seen 1517 - genealogics says in February, which means possible confusion, but I've never seen 1518 except here. Can somebody provide a source for it being 1518 rather than 1517? john k (talk) 01:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Duke of Alba[edit]

The 3rd Duke of Alba cannot have been involved in the conquest of Navarre in 1512 as he was only 5. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.41.42.2 (talk) 11:07, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Co-Princess of Andorra?[edit]

Was she not by right as queen-regnant also Co-Princess of Andorra? --Gryffindor (talk) 22:26, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Primogeniture[edit]

The crown of Navarre passed to the eldest son, or to the eldest daughter if there were no legitimate sons. It never passed to a daughter if there was a legitimate son, not even if the daughter was older. That has nothing to do with Salic law. It's simply male-preferance primogeniture. Prefering elder daughters over younger sons (absolute primogeniture) is something monarchies would start doing only 4 centuries later - 1981, to be precise.

Are you sure that really apply to Navarre??? The fact that it was practiced in other European countries does not mean it applied to Navarre, Navarre had its own law code not issued from Roman or Gothic law. Sure Catherine preferred a male in view of the tough times Navarre was facing in order to earn legitimacy within the difficult European political context.

Well, one of the references (Woodacre) cited here goes into vast detail on the subject, and confirms that males were preferred over females. Of course, Basque custom would have them equal, but Woodacre points out that Navarre was almost always ruled by foreigners. Remember that Joan II (who also had daughters before a son) only ascended once her younger half-brother and two uncles were dead. Granted, the discovery of her mother's bedchamber adventures may have been a factor against her. Surtsicna (talk) 22:20, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
