"Rainier, the second son of the Founder of the family, had succeeded to the County of Hainaut. The epithet 'Long-col' had become a surname: this second Rainier, also bore the name of 'Long-col': a third Rainier, his son, the like. The chronology of these nascent States is very obscure, and the three long-necked Rainiers are not always distinguishable from each other. . . ." (Palgrave: 219)

the Black-haired: "At the time of his marriage, Eleanora had not completed her fifteenth year, while her husband was in the prime of life, and already the father of four daughters. From the darkness of his complexion and hair, hr had acquired the sobriquet of 'Reinout de Swerte,' Raynald the swarthy, or 'Reynaldus de fusco-capite,' Raynald the black-haired'. . . ."

Madame Carwell: " . . . It was the French king, too, who sent him that insidious, subtle daughter of Brittany, Louise de Keroualle–Duchess of Portsmouth–a diplomat in petticoats, who won the king’s wayward affections, and spied on what he did and said, and faithfully reported all of it to Paris. She became the mother of the Duke of Lennox, and she was feared and hated by the English more than any other of his mistresses. They called her 'Madam Carwell,' and they seemed to have an instinct that she was no mere plaything of his idle hours, but was like some strange exotic serpent, whose poison might in the end sting the honor of England."

the Weeping Willow (by Nell Gwynn): " . . . Another name Nell gave her was 'weeping willow', since Louise would use tears to prise some gift or favour from the King. Both nicknames infuriated Louise, but amused Charles."

the Lord Rhys: "Rhys ab Gruffyd was the leader of the southern kingdom of Wales during the reign of Henry II. He was the last surviving one of four boys, all of whom died brutally in the constant Welsh/English battle that was the way of life at the time. He was captured in battle and brought back to Woodstocke as prisoner and his son -- Hywel -- was held for many years as hostage but was finally released by King Henry II as a show of good faith. Rhys did eventually become a trusted ally and agent of King Henry II and achieved such a favorable status that he was given the title 'Lord Rhys'. At the end of his life in 1197, he had been an active participant in war and politics for sixty years, and had been a dominate ruling prince in Wales for more than forty years." (Rosamund's Bower: 242)
