His birthyear is unknown. He was born *by* 1043, not *in* that year. Wjhonson ( talk) 20:37, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
When I tried this in French to English on a translator it came up with kidney, which does have a some significance in the Jewish religion as source of inner feelings, among other things. But when I put kidney in English to French it came up with rein, which could be a diminution over time. However, there was a sub reference to Romania and in that language rechin means shark, which seems more likely given the description. The Romance languages do have common roots, so I tried again and Wiktionary came up with the fact that rechin is from French réquin, and further 'Normand reflex of Old French reschin (12th c.), deverbal from reschignier (“to grimace while baring teeth”), rekigner (“to make an ugly face”), from Frankish *kīnan (“to split open”). So for me, Fulk was likened to a shark. Carol Weaver. 2A02:C7F:D047:A100:EDBE:FD35:7243:810E ( talk) 16:05, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Then the phrasing should clarify or reflect that, instead of just including (potentially dubious) sourcing and baldly stating that he did in fact marry exactly these 5 women in exactly this order in exactly these years. — LlywelynII 23:30, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
There's obviously more in the edition of Orderic provided, which should be used in combination with modern scholarship. There's also more at
