Overall: Article looks good, was interesting to read. Think it could do with some copyediting, as some of the sentences are quite long and loose, but it's still readable. Only things flagged by Earwig's tool are clear, attributed quotes. The hooks are also interesting, although I think the ALT0 hook twists the story a bit and doesn't make it clear that this is a fantastical story from a hagiography. I prefer ALT1.

Grnrchst I would suggest that the hook (and the article) should make it clear that the Charlemagne incident is also a legend: the Cureus source refers to the legend of the assault inflicted upon her by Charlemagne.

- Thanks for providing this ALT1a hook, I'd definitely approve of this. In any case, I think the hook needs to make it clear that this is a legend, not a necessarily true story. --Grnrchst (talk) 17:10, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
  - I'm okay with ALT1a, too. Thanks for the feedback, all. I'll do another copyedit as per the above request. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 23:07, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
