A History of the Plantagenets, Vol II, The Magnificent Century, Thomas B Costain, 1951, Doubleday & Co p184: "While on the subject of Richard of Cornwall, it should be mentioned that he had the habit of marrying beautiful women...To cast ahead of the story, Richard won as his third bride the greatest beauty in all Europe, a snow-white German princess named Beatrice of Falkenstein. He loved all three wives, but it is reasonable to assume that he approached matrimony with a calculating eye and made sure that he was getting the best of the market had to offer."
