[crutledge]

Emily Sarah Holt (1836-1893) was an English novelist.
She wrote about fifty books, mainly for children. Most of her work can be classified as historical novels. Her work has a Protestant religious theme.

Excerpt
Marguerite of Flanders, Countess of Montfort, was the only daughter of Loys de Nevers, eldest surviving son of Robert the First, Count of Flanders (who predeceased his father), and of Marie or Jeanne, daughter of the Count de Rethel. She had one brother, Count Loys the First of Flanders, who fell at Crecy. Many modern writers call her Jeanne; but her name in the contemporary public records of England is invariably Margareta. Her birth probably took place about 1310, and it may have been about 1335 that she married Jean of Bretagne, Count de Montfort, a younger son of Duke Arthur the Second.

Thank you very much Crutledge for this book.
My second name is Montfort and I live in Brittany (France). I know that my ancestors, who were poor farmers took the name Montfort in the 14. century, because they were in favour of Jean de Montfort and against Charles de Blois at the time of the succession war for the dukedom of Brittany, which was still independant from the kingdom of France.
I didn't know anything about Lady of Hazelwood, I am very glad to learn more about the history of my country.
Thanks again,
Françoise.
