Jones identifies the match as "Bérard d'Albret, son of the king's chief lieutenant in Gascony." 262. But Cawley observes the following; "It is unlikely that the name of the future bridegroom in this document can be correct. The testament of 'domini Johannis comitis Armaniaci', dated 18 Feb 1347, names, as shown above, Bernard Aiz as second son of Bernard Aiz [V] Seigneur d'Albret and Arnaud Amanieu [VIII] as his oldest son and heir. It appears unlikely that the advisers of King Edward III (who was suzerain of Gascony including the Albret properties) would have been unaware of the identity of the heir to Albret. It is equally unlikely that the king would have agreed the marriage of his oldest daughter to the second son of the sire d'Albret. It is therefore more probable that the future bridegroom was Arnaud Amanieu [VIII] and that there is an error in the name inserted in the charter."
